Nowadays, personalized cancer therapy relies on small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, or antibody-drug conjugates (ADC). Many nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems are also actively investigated, but their advantage over ADCs has not been demonstrated yet. Here, using the Avidin-Nucleic-Acid-Nano-Assemblies (ANANAS), a class of polyavidins multifuctionalizable with stoichiometric control, we compare quantitatively anti-EGFR antibody(cetuximab)-targeted NPs to the corresponding ADC. We show that ANANAS tethering of cetuximab promotes a more efficient EGFR-dependent vesicle-mediated internalization. Cetuximab-guided ANANAS carrying doxorubicin are more cytotoxic in vitro and much more potent in vivo than the corresponding ADC, leading to 43% tumor reduction at low drug dosage (0.56 mg/kg). Advantage of cetuximab-guided ANANAS with respect to the ADC goes beyond the increase in drug-to-antibody ratio. Even if further studies are needed, we propose that NP tethering could expand application of the anti-EGFR antibody to a wider number of cancer patients including the KRAS-mutated ones, currently suffering from poor prognosis.
