Brief Summary
This is an open label, single-arm, multicenter, Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bb2121 in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. A leukapheresis procedure will be performed to manufacture bb2121 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells. Prior to bb2121 infusion subjects will receive lymphodepleting therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide.

Study Arms (1)
Administration of bb2121
EXPERIMENTALbb2121 autologous CAR T cells will be infused at a dose ranging from 15 - 450 x 10\^6 CAR+ T cells after receiving lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
Interventions
: bb2121 consists of autologous T lymphocytes transduced with an anti-BCMA02 CAR lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Eligibility is determined prior to leukapheresis. Subjects must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:
- Subject is ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
- Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma
- Must have received at least 3 prior MM treatment regimens. Note: induction with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplant and with or without maintenance therapy is considered a single regimen.
- Must have undergone at least 2 consecutive cycles of treatment for each regimen, unless PD was the best response to the regimen.
- Must have received a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 antibody.
- Must be refractory to the last treatment regimen.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
- Subjects must have measurable disease, including at least one of the criteria below:
- Serum M-protein greater or equal to 1.0 g/dL
- Urine M-protein greater or equal to 200 mg/24 h
- Serum free light chain (FLC) assay: involved FLC level greater or equal to 10 mg/dL (100 mg/L) provided serum FLC ratio is abnormal
- Recovery to Grade 1 or baseline of any non-hematologic toxicities due to prior treatments, excluding alopecia and Grade 2 neuropathy.
You may not qualify if:
- The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:
- Subjects with known central nervous system involvement with myeloma.
- History or presence of clinically relevant central nervous system (CNS) pathology.
- Subjects with active or history of plasma cell leukemia.
- Subjects with solitary plasmacytomas or non-secretory myeloma without other evidence of measurable disease
- Inadequate organ function
- Ongoing treatment with chronic immunosuppressants
- Previous history of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or treatment with any gene therapy-based therapeutic for cancer or investigational cellular therapy for cancer or BCMA targeted therapy
- Evidence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Seropositive for and with evidence of active viral infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV)
- Seropositive for and with evidence of active viral infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
- Subjects with a history of class III or IV congestive heart failure (CHF) or severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, history of stroke, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or ventricular arrhythmia within the previous 6 months.
- Subjects with second malignancies in addition to myeloma if the second malignancy has required therapy in the last 3 years or is not in complete remission
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Subject with known hypersensitivity to any component of bb2121 productThe presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:
