Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received multiple lines of prior therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active central nervous system involvement or those who have received prior therapies targeting GPRC5D may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of Arlocabtagene Autoleucel (BMS-986393), a CAR T cell therapy targeting GPRC5D, in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Participants must have a documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma and have undergone at least three prior lines of therapy. The study aims to assess how well this innovative treatment can manage the disease in patients who have not responded to previous treatments.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this therapy could provide a new treatment option for patients with difficult-to-treat multiple myeloma.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using CAR T cell therapies have shown promising results in treating multiple myeloma, indicating potential for success with this approach.

Inclusion Criteria * Documented diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) as per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria. * Received at least 4 classes of MM treatment \[including immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), proteasome inhibitor (PI), anti CD38 mAb, anti-BCMA therapy, and at least 3 prior lines of therapy (LOT). * Documented disease progression during or after their last anti-myeloma regimen as per IMWG 2016 criteria. * Participants must have measurable disease during screening. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. Exclusion Criteria * Active or history of central nervous system involvement with MM. * Active systemic fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection despite appropriate anti-infective treatment at the time of leukapheresis. Participants with severe infection, severe sepsis or bacteremia in the last 28 days prior to leukapheresis are excluded. * Received any prior therapy directed at G protein-coupled receptor class C, group 5, member D (GPRC5D) or has received other prior treatment for MM without the required washout prior to leukapheresis. * Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
