Brief Summary
This study is a multi-cohort, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bb2121 in participants with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) (Cohort 1), in participants with RRMM who receive bridging therapy with talquetamab (Cohort 1b), in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) having progressed within 18 months of initial treatment with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) (Cohort 2a) and without ASCT (Cohort 2b) or, in participants with inadequate response post ASCT during initial treatment (Cohort 2c) and the efficacy and safety of bb2121 used in combination with lenalidomide maintenance in participants with suboptimal response post ASCT (Cohort 3). Approximately 248 participants will be enrolled into one of three cohorts. Cohort 1 (including cohort 1b) will enroll approximately 126 RRMM subjects with ≥ 3 prior anti-myeloma treatment regimens. Cohort 2a will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects, with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2b will enroll approximately 39 MM subjects with 1 prior anti-myeloma therapy not including ASCT and with early relapse. Cohort 2c will enroll approximately 30 MM subjects with inadequate response to ASCT during their initial anti-myeloma therapy. The cohorts will start in parallel and independently. Cohort 3 will enroll approximately 30 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) participants with suboptimal response to ASCT.

Study Arms (6)
Cohort 1: BB2121 in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma participants
EXPERIMENTALbb2121 autologous CAR T cells will be infused at a dose ranging from 150 - 450 x 10\^6 CAR+ T cells after receiving lymphodepleting chemotherapy
Cohort 1b: BB2121 with talquetamab in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma participants
EXPERIMENTALCohort 2a: BB2121 in multiple myeloma with Autologous stem cell transplantation participants
EXPERIMENTALCohort 2b: BB2121 in multiple myeloma without Autologous stem cell transplantation participants
EXPERIMENTALCohort 2c: BB2121 in multiple myeloma participants with inadequate response post ASCT
EXPERIMENTALCohort 3: BB2121 with lenalidomide maintenance in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
bb2121 consists of autologous T lymphocytes transduced with an anti-BCMA CAR lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR)
