Translational priorities include coupling barrier priming with a single well-characterized switching event, favoring moderated or activatable affinity to avoid perivascular trapping, and validating spatial gains using standardized intratumoral distribution metrics linked to therapeutic endpoints.
We conclude with translational priorities: couple barrier priming with a single well-characterized switching event, favor moderated or activatable affinity to avoid perivascular trapping, and validate spatial gains using standardized intratumoral distribution metrics linked to therapeutic endpoints.
Representative systems show recurring failure modes including stimulus heterogeneity, premature or off-target activation, and escalating chemistry-manufacturing-controls burdens with added components.

In solid tumors, therapeutics that reach tumors often remain near vessels and fail to distribute uniformly into tumor cores.

The review summarizes five strategy families for deepening and homogenizing intratumoral transport: stimuli-responsive size/charge switching, microenvironment remodeling, ligand-guided transcytosis and CendR pathway engagement, cell-based and biomimetic vectors, and multistage designs.
