wherein,
A is an antibody or its binding fragments thereof;
B consists of a double-stranded siRNA consisting of a passenger strand and a guide strand;
C consists of a polymer; and
X and Y are each independently a linker selected from the group consisting of a heterobifunctional linker, a homobifunctional linker, a maleimide group, a dipeptide moiety, a benzoic acid group or derivatives thereof, a C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, and a combination thereof; and
a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient;
wherein:
the double-stranded siRNA comprises at least one 2′ modified nucleotide, at least one modified internucleotide linkage, or at least one inverted abasic moiety;
A and C are attached in the same strand, but not at the same terminus; and
A-X and Y—C are conjugated to the passenger strand.
