Agonist CD40 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) is a promising immunotherapeutic agent for cold‐to‐hot tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) conversion. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer known as an immune desert, and therefore urgently needs more effective treatment. Conventional systemic treatment fails to effectively penetrate the characteristic dense tumor stroma. Here, it is shown that sustained low‐dose intratumoral delivery of CD40 mAb via the nanofluidic drug‐eluting seed (NDES) can modulate the TIME to reduce tumor burden in murine models. NDES achieves tumor reduction at a fourfold lower dosage than systemic treatment while avoiding treatment‐related adverse events. Further, abscopal responses are shown where intratumoral treatment yields growth inhibition in distant untreated tumors. Overall, the NDES is presented as a viable approach to penetrate the PDAC immune barrier in a minimally invasive and effective manner, for the overarching goal of transforming treatment. Nanofluidic drug‐eluting seed (NDES) enables long‐term intratumoral immunotherapeutic treatment. Sustained low‐dose agonist CD40 monoclonal antibody delivered via NDES effectively triggers anti‐tumor immune response in immunosuppressive pancreatic tumor microenvironment without treatment‐related adverse events. Overall, the NDES presents an effective low‐dose tumor‐targeted drug delivery approach for enhanced treatment efficacy and survival.
