Drug delivery systems improving checkpoint blockade mAb delivery and therapy.

Approach Article Drug Delivery System Results
Microparticles for sustained mAb release Lei et al. [58] Silica microparticles Funtionalizing mesoporous silica and modjtywig the pore sizes within the micropartides resulted in prolonged release mAb that improved antitumor immunity resulting from immunotherapy.
Rahimtan et al.[57] Polymeric microparticles Varying the polymer composition of micropartides influenced mAb release kinetics to enable tumor- localized sustained release over 30 days but resulted in comparable animal survival relative to a control formulation.

Hyorogel for sustained mAb release Li et al [36] Alginate Hyorogel Hyotogel-mediated sustained release of anti-PD-1 mAb into serum and retention in the tumor resulted in increased levels of CD4 and CD8 T cells while redudng regulatory Tcells in the spleen tumor draining lymph node, and tumor.

Microneedle (MN)- mediated sustained and local mAb release Wang et al. 2016 [60] Glucose triggered pH- reductions release mAb from MN-delivered nanopartides MN administration of nanopartides encapsulating anti-PD-1 mAb improved anti-tumor immuraty via enhanced tumor retention of mAb causing local inflfration of CD8+ T cells as well as improved survival and tumor reduction
Ye et al. [59] Hyaiuronidase triggered degradation of MN- delivered nanopartides By improving the retention and sustained release of mAb within the tumor, a single administration of mAb loaded nanopartides via a MN patch improved anti-PD-1 mAb therapy, induoing enhanced tumor infiltration of CD8+ Tcells and prolonged animal survival

Therapeutic mAb “hitehhidng” for tumor- targeted delivery Wang et al. 2017 [64] Platelet based Carrier Decorating platelets with anti-PD-L1 mAb enabled its “hitchhikkig” to the tumor and triggered release following platelet actiesion with in tumors, resulting in enhanced accumulation of mAb with in the tumor and an increased CD8+to Treg ratio compared to i.v. administration which prolonged animal survival
