Despite the rapid evolution of therapeutic antibodies, their clinical efficacy in the treatment of bone tumors is hampered due to the inadequate pharmacokinetics and poor bone tissue accessibility of these large macromolecules. Here, we show that engineering therapeutic antibodies with bone-homing peptide sequences dramatically enhances their concentrations in the bone metastatic niche, resulting in significantly reduced survival and progression of breast cancer bone metastases. To enhance the bone tumor-targeting ability of engineered antibodies, we introduced varying numbers of bone-homing peptides into permissive sites of the anti-HER2 antibody, trastuzumab. Compared to the unmodified antibody, the engineered antibodies have similar pharmacokinetics and in vitro cytotoxic activity, but exhibit improved bone tumor distribution in vivo. Accordingly, in xenograft models of breast cancer metastasis to bone sites, engineered antibodies with enhanced bone specificity exhibit increased inhibition of both initial bone metastases and secondary multiorgan metastases. Furthermore, this engineering strategy is also applied to prepare bone-targeting antibody–drug conjugates with enhanced therapeutic efficacy. These results demonstrate that adding bone-specific targeting to antibody therapy results in robust bone tumor delivery efficacy. This provides a powerful strategy to overcome the poor accessibility of antibodies to the bone tumors and the consequential resistance to the therapy.
