Abstract
The recent approval of Akalux® for antibody-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) in Japan (also known as photoimmunotherapy), and the recent approval of Cytalux® for folate-specific image guided surgery by the FDA have motivated the continued development of macromolecular targeted PDT for cancer management. This review spotlights some of the most recent advances in macromolecular targeted PDT since 2021, exploring the latest advances in protein engineering, adaptive macromolecular constructs and nanotechnology, adoption of immune checkpoint inhibitors, and targeting using biomimetic membranes. These strategies summarized here attempt to expand the functionality, benefit, and success of macromolecular targeting for PDT to advance the technology beyond what has already entered into the clinical realm.
