Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) play important roles in tumor therapy. However, traditional ADCs are limited by the extremely large molecular weight of the antibody molecules, which results in low permeability into solid tumors. The use of small ADCs may be expected to alleviate this problem, but this switch brings the new limitation of a greatly shortened blood circulation half-life. Here, we propose a new cleavable ADC design with excellent tumor tissue permeability and a long circulation half-life by fusing the small ADC Z-MMAE with the Fc domain of the antibody for circulation half-life extension, and inserting a digestion sequence between them to release the small ADC inside tumors for better tumor penetration. The experimental results showed that the designed molecule Fc-U-Z-MMAE has a significantly increased blood circulation half-life (7.1 h, 59-fold longer) compared to the small ADC Z-MMAE, and significantly improved drug accumulation ability at tumor sites compared to the conventional full-length antibody-coupled ADC Herceptin-MMAE. These combined effects led to Fc-U-Z-MMAE having significantly enhanced tumor treatment ability, as shown in mouse models of NCI-N87 gastric cancer and SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer, where Fc-U-Z-MMAE treatment achieved complete regression of tumors in all or a portion of animals with no obvious side effects and an MTD exceeding 90 mg/kg. These data demonstrate the therapeutic advantages of this cleavable ADC strategy, which could provide a new approach for ADC design.
