Combined administration of antibody therapeutics has proven to be beneficial for patients with cancer or infectious diseases. As a result, there is a growing trend toward multiple antibodies premixed into a single product form and delivered to patients as a fixed-dose coformulation. However, combining antibodies into a single coformulation could be challenging as proteins have the potential to interact and alter their stability and degradation profiles in the mixture, compared to that in isolation. We show that in two specific antibody–antibody coformulations, the more stable antibody component increased the stability of the less stable component, which in return destabilized the more stable component, hence exhibiting an overall convergence of stability in the coformulation.
