The nature of the linker is known to affect the efficacy of antibody–drug conjugate (ADC). Here the authors show cetuximab-guided Avidin-Nucleic-Acid-Nanoassemblies to be superior to cetuximab-doxorubicin conjugate, and show its efficacy in KRAS mutant breast cancer, allowing for therapeutic expansion of anti-EGFR therapy.
