Here we describe a tumor-specific 3D cell culture platform where the human tumor microenvironment is reconstructed ex vivo. Our 3D tumor-specific models incorporate tissue-specific extracellular matrix(ces) (ECM) and tumor-specific medium supplements allowing for a true reconstruction of tumor microenvironment. Our approach is compatible with multiple classes of immuno-oncology agents from naked antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates, to bi- and tri-specific compounds, and CAR-T cells.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the capacity of the Reconstructed Bone (r-Bone) model to predict clinical outcomes in patients with multiple myeloma. r-Bone cultures correctly predicted the outcome of 19 out of 21 cases. This data demonstrate that the r-Bone system could be used for pipeline attrition management to select drug candidates with the highest probability of clinical success and can be developed into a prognostic tool for the selection of treatment regimen for patients with multiple myeloma.
