Consent is to be obtained prior to the initiation of any study-related tests or procedures that are not part of standard-of-care for the participant's disease

You may not qualify if:

• Prior treatment with any B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) targeted therapy
• Prior antitumor therapy as follows, before the first dose of study drug: Targeted therapy, epigenetic therapy, or treatment with an investigational drug or used an invasive investigational medical device within 21 days or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is less; Monoclonal antibody treatment for multiple myeloma within 21 days; Cytotoxic therapy within 21 days; Proteasome inhibitor therapy within 14 days; Immunomodulatory agent therapy within 7 days; Gene modified adoptive cell therapy (example, chimeric antigen receptor modified T cells, natural killer \[NK\] cells) within 3 months; Radiotherapy within 14 days or focal radiation within 7 days
• Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies that have not resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 or less except for alopecia or peripheral neuropathy
• Received a cumulative dose of corticosteroids equivalent to \>= 140 milligram (mg) of prednisone within the 14-day period before the first dose of study drug (does not include pretreatment medication)
• Known active central nervous system (CNS) involvement or exhibits clinical signs of meningeal involvement of multiple myeloma
