AMVs

Subcutaneous patient-derived bladder tumor tissue sample in nude mice

Combination of AIE-active sonosensitizer and patient-derived MVs

The superior tumor targeting ability and efficient personalized SDT therapy on PDX models

[81]

CAT-TCPP/FCS NPs

Orthotopic MB49 in C57BL/6 mice

CAT loading to alleviate tumor hypoxia; FCS as an effective transmucosal delivery carrier

Orthotopic bladder tumors under US without systemic toxicity

[71]

MVSN-IR825

Subcutaneous and orthotopic PC-3 in nude mice

Combination of virus‐mimic surface topology and MB‐assisted LFUS; Combination of PAI, FI, and MRI; combination with PDT and PTT

A successful combined anticancer effect with trimodal imaging to determine the optimal therapeutic timing

[82]

CS-ss-IR806 (CSR)

Subcutaneous PC-3 in nude mice

Redox- and hyaluronidase-responsive drug delivery; combination with PDT and PTT

Superior trimodal anticancer efficacy after dual-irradiation compared with either monoirradiation strategy

[80]

HPNPs

Subcutaneous LNCaP in nude mice

pH- and cathepsin B- responsive drug delivery

SDT-mediated tumor elimination with no adverse effects

[79]

HHSN-C/P-mAb

Subcutaneous PC-3 in nude mice

PSCA monoclonal antibody conjugation; pH-responsiveness; combination of US imaging and MRI; combination with chemotherapy

High-effective synergistic therapy

[164]

TiO2: Gd@DOX/FA

Subcutaneous LNCaP in nude mice

pH-responsive drug delivery; MRI; combination with chemotherapy

Smaller tumor sizes of all the nanomedicine groups than free dox (v:v0 = 4.2)
