We aim to develop human bone extracts mixed with commercially available bone putty and prepare customized 3D print materials, both of which are infused with anti-cancer drugs. These bone substitutes could be used to fill and stabilize the large empty spaces and to locally deliver anti-cancer drugs that kills any remaining tumor cells and promote bone healing following tumor resection in patients with bone metastasis. We also aim to establish a 3D bone metastasis-like model that will be used to test the drug delivery from bone substitutes. J & J could adopt and manufacture these new treatment modalities and commercialize them for hospitals to treat patients with bone metastasis.
