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.
