Safety and Efficacy of bb2121 (Ide-cel) Combinations in Multiple Myeloma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of bb2121 (Ide-Cel) combinations in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. It also aims to evaluate different agents and their doses/schedules to improve clinical effectiveness in combination with bb2121.
