An ADC that carries a gene-silencing strand instead of a chemotherapy, so it can switch a protein off rather than poison the cell.
Conjugating siRNA or antisense oligonucleotides to an antibody is the leading attempt to solve delivery of nucleic-acid drugs beyond the liver. Programmes in muscle disease are furthest along; in oncology the approach would allow tumour-selective silencing of undruggable drivers. Endosomal escape, where only a small fraction of internalised payload reaches the cytosol, is the unsolved problem.
An internalising antibody delivers a conjugated oligonucleotide into the endosome; a fraction escapes to the cytosol and engages RISC or RNase H.
