Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter, open-label, phase 1, single arm study intended to determine the optimal target dose and safety of bb2121 in subjects with HR (R-ISS Stage III per IMWG criteria) NDMM. Subjects should have received 3 Cycles of standard induction therapy prior to undergoing leukapheresis procedure to collect autologous mononuclear cells for manufacture of the drug product (bb2121). Following manufacture of the drug product, subjects will receive fourth cycle of induction therapy followed by lymphodepleting therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide prior to bb2121 infusion. Maintenance therapy is recommended for all subjects who have received bb2121 infusion and should be initiated upon adequate bone marrow recovery or from 90-day post-bb2121 infusion, whichever is later.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rates	DLTs will be assessed during the DLT interval (ie, within 21 days immediately after bb2121 infusion). DLTs are defined as any bb2121 related Grade 3 to 5 toxicity.	Up to completion of DLT period after last subject bb2121 infused
Primary	Adverse Events (AEs)	An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) should be considered an AE.	Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused
Secondary	Proportion of subjects who achieved Complete Response (CR) Rate	Is defined as proportion of subjects who achieved CR or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma for multiple myeloma will be determined by an Investigator assessment.	Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Is defined as proportion of subjects who achieved PR or better according to IMWG Uniform Response Criteria for Multiple Myeloma as determined by an Investigator assessment	Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused
Secondary	Duration of Response (DoR)	Is defined as time from first documentation of response (PR or better) to first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, for responders.	Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused
Secondary	Time to Complete Response (TCR)	Is defined as time from bb2121 infusion date to first documentation of CR for responders (Complete Response (CR) or better).	Approximately 2 years after last subject bb2121 infused
