Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of bb2121 versus standard regimens in subjects with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). The study is anticipated to randomize approximately 381 subjects with RRMM. Approximately 254 subjects will be randomized to Treatment Arm A and approximately 127 subjects will be randomized to Treatment Arm B.

Study Arms (2)
Arm A - Administration of bb2121
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
Arm B- standard regimens as per Investigator's discretion
EXPERIMENTALThe participants will receive one of following regimens dependent on the subject's most recent anti-myeloma treatment regimen: * Daratumumab (DARA) in combination with pomalidomide (POM) and low-dose dexamethasone (dex) (DPd) OR * DARA in combination with bortezomib (BTZ) and low-dose dex (DVd) OR * Ixazomib (IXA) in combination with lenalidomide (LEN) and low-dose dex (IRd) OR * Carfilzomib (CFZ) in combination with low-dose dexamethasone (Kd) OR * Elotuzumab (ELO) in combination with POM and low-dose dexamethasone (EPd)

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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).
- Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted.
- Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements within this protocol and for a subject randomized to Treatment Arm A, subject agrees to continued follow-up for up to 15 years as mandated by the regulatory guidelines for gene therapy trials.
