An ADC wearing a mask that only comes off inside the tumour, so it ignores the same protein on healthy tissue.
Probody platform (CytomX; praluzatamab ravtansine CD166, CX-2051 EpCAM with TOP1 payload showing responses in colorectal cancer in 2025) and protease-activated designs allow targeting of antigens that are also expressed at high levels on normal tissue (EGFR, EpCAM, CD71). Also 'tumour microenvironment-activated' linkers cleaved by extracellular proteases.
Peptide mask blocks antigen binding until cleaved by tumour-enriched proteases (MMPs, uPA, legumain).
