[0003] Multiple myeloma is a neoplasm of plasma cells that is aggressive. Multiple myeloma is considered to be a B-cell neoplasm that proliferates uncontrollably in the bone marrow. Symptoms include one or more of hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, anemia, bony lesions, bacterial infections, hyperviscosity and amyloidosis. Multiple myeloma is still considered to be an almost incurable disease, despite availability of new therapies that include proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory drugs, and monoclonal antibodies that have significantly improved patient outcomes. Because most patients will either relapse or become refractory to treatment, there is an ongoing need for new therapies for multiple myeloma. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of the invention, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise embodiments shown in the drawings. -10- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0042] FIGS.1A and 1B show the treatment pathways across two cohorts in the clinical trial, starting with apheresis and varying cycles of ciltacabtagene autoleucel and talquetamab, leading to primary endpoints assessing safety and efficacy, and secondary endpoints, followed by a long-term follow-up.

[0043] FIG.2 shows the expression of BCMA antigen on the surface of GC, memory and plasmablast cells in the lymph node, long-lived plasma cells in the bone marrow LN and MALT, and on multiple myeloma cells. BAFF-R antigen is not expressed on plasmablast cells, long-lived plasma cells, or multiple myeloma cells. TACI is expressed on memory and plasmablast cells, long-lived plasma cells, and multiple myeloma cells. CD138 is expressed only on long-lived plasma cells and multiple myeloma cells.

[0044] FIG.3 shows the design of the ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel comprises two VHH domains, as opposed to a single VL domain and a single VH domain found on various other CARs. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel comprises intracellular CD137 and human CD3 zeta domains.

[0045] FIG.4 shows a schematic for preparing virus encoding ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR, transduction of the virus into a T cell from the patient, and then preparation of CAR T cells expressing ciltacabtagene autoleucel.

[0046] FIG.5 shows bar graphs comparing the expression levels of CD28 and the distribution of T cell memory subtypes in CD3+ T cells from multiple myeloma patients, following in vitro exposure to bispecific T cell engagers talquetamab and teclistamab. The upper graphs show the percentage of CD28+ cells across different days, while the lower graphs detail the percentage of T cell subtypes, including naïve (CCR7+CD45RA+), central memory (CM, CCR7+CD45RA-), effector memory (EM, CCR7-CD45RA-), and terminally differentiated effector memory (TEMRA, CCR7-CD45RA+) cells.

[0047] FIG.6 shows scatter plots demonstrating the fold expansion and the percentage of CAR-positive T cells after ciltacabtagene autoleucel manufacturing from T cells pre-exposed to bispecific T cell engagers. Data from three donors show that previous exposure to bispecifics appears to negatively affect both the expansion capacity of CAR-T cells and the proportion of CAR-positive cells in the resulting drug product, suggesting compromised CAR-T cell manufacturing efficiency.

In some cases, terms with commonly understood meanings are defined herein for clarity and / or for ready reference, and the inclusion of such definitions herein should not necessarily be construed to represent a substantial difference over what is generally understood in the art. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and / or as otherwise defined herein. Definitions

[0074] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects or embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the indefinite articles “a”, “an” and “the” should be understood to include plural reference unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0075] The term “about” or “approximately” includes being within a statistically meaningful range of a value. Such a range can be within an order of magnitude, preferably within 50%, more preferably within 20%, still more preferably within 10%, and even more preferably within 5% of a given value or range. The allowable variation encompassed by the term “about” or “approximately” depends on the particular system under study, and can be readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0076] Unless otherwise stated, any numerical value, such as a concentration or a concentration range described herein, are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about.” Thus, a numerical value typically includes ± 10% of the recited value. For example, a dosage of 10 mg includes 9 mg to 11 mg. As used herein, the use of a numerical range expressly includes all possible subranges, all individual numerical values within that range, including integers within such ranges and fractions of the values unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0077] The term “antibody” includes monoclonal antibodies (including full length 4-chain antibodies or full length heavy-chain only antibodies which have an immunoglobulin Fc region), antibody compositions with polyepitopic specificity, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies, diabodies, and single-chain molecules), as well as antibody fragments (e.g., Fab, F(ab’)2, and Fv). The term “immunoglobulin” (Ig) is used interchangeably with -16- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) “antibody” herein. Antibodies contemplated herein include single-domain antibodies, such as heavy chain only antibodies. The terms “antibody” and “antibodies” refer to monoclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies, human antibodies, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, single-chain Fvs (scFv), single chain antibodies, Fab fragments, F(ab′) fragments, disulfide-linked Fvs (sdFv), intrabodies, minibodies, diabodies and anti-idiotype (anti-Id) antibodies (including, e.g., anti-Id antibodies to antigen specific TCR), and epitope-binding fragments of any of the above. The terms “antibody” and “antibodies” also refer to covalent diabodies such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Appl. Pub.2007 / 0004909 and Ig-DARTS such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Appl. Pub.2009 / 0060910. Immunoglobulin molecules can be of any type (e.g., IgG, IgE, IgM, IgD, IgA and IgY), class (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM1, IgM2, IgA1 and IgA2) or subclass. “Full length antibodies” are comprised of two heavy chains (HC) and two light chains (LC) inter-connected by disulfide bonds as well as multimers thereof (e.g., IgM). Each heavy chain is comprised of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (comprised of domains CH1, hinge, CH2 and CH3). Each light chain is comprised of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The VH and the VL regions may be further subdivided into regions of hypervariability, termed complementarity determining regions (CDR), interspersed with framework regions (FR). Each VH and VL is composed of three CDRs and four FR segments, arranged from amino-to-carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3 and FR4. Antibody light chains of any vertebrate species may be assigned to one of two clearly distinct types, namely kappa (κ) and lambda (λ), based on the amino acid sequences of their constant domains.

[0078] “Antigen binding fragment” or “antigen binding domain” refers to a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule that binds an antigen. Antigen binding fragments may be synthetic, enzymatically obtainable or genetically engineered polypeptides and include the VH, the VL, the VH and the VL, Fab, F(ab’)2, Fd and Fv fragments, domain antibodies (dAb) consisting of one VH domain or one VL domain, shark variable IgNAR domains, VH domains modified to function without a corresponding VL domain, minimal recognition units consisting of the amino acid residues that mimic the CDRs of an antibody, such as FR3- CDR3-FR4 portions, the HCDR1, the HCDR2 and / or the HCDR3 and the LCDR1, the LCDR2 and / or the LCDR3. VH and VL domains may be linked together via a synthetic linker to form various types of single chain antibody designs where the VH / VL domains may pair intramolecularly, or intermolecularly in those cases when the VH and VL domains are -17- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) expressed by separate single chain antibody constructs, to form a monovalent antigen binding site, such as single chain Fv (scFv) or diabody; described for example in Int. Patent Publ. Nos. WO1998 / 44001, WO1988 / 01649, WO1994 / 13804 and WO1992 / 01047.

Immunol., 5, 511-519 (1976), Harlow and Lane (eds.), Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, CSH Press (1988), and C. A. Janeway et al. (eds.), Immunobiology, 5thEd., Garland Publishing, New York, N.Y. (2001)). Alternatively, other methods, such as EBV-hybridoma methods (Haskard and Archer, J. Immunol. Methods, 74(2), 361-67 (1984), and 18pher et al., Methods Enzymol., 121, 140-67 (1986)), and bacteriophage vector expression systems (see, e.g., Huse et al., Science, 246, 1275-81 (1989)) are known in the art. Further, methods of producing antibodies in non-human animals are described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos.5,545,806, 5,569,825, and 5,714,352, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No.2002 / 0197266 A1).

[0080] Phage display can also be used to generate an antibody. In this regard, phage libraries encoding antigen-binding variable (V) domains of antibodies can be generated using standard molecular biology and recombinant DNA techniques (see, e.g., Sambrook et al., supra, and Ausubel et al., supra). Phage encoding a variable region with the desired specificity are selected for specific binding to the desired antigen, and a complete or partial antibody is reconstituted comprising the selected variable domain. Nucleic acid sequences encoding the reconstituted antibody are introduced into a suitable cell line, such as a myeloma cell used for hybridoma production, such that antibodies having the characteristics of monoclonal antibodies are secreted by the cell (see, e.g., Janeway et al., supra, Huse et al., supra, and U.S. Pat. No.6,265,150).

[0081] The antibodies, polypeptides, and proteins of embodiments of the disclosure (including functional portions and functional variants) can be subject to post-translational modifications. They can be glycosylated, esterified, N-acylated, amidated, carboxylated, phosphorylated, esterified, cyclized via, e.g., a disulfide bridge, or converted into an acid addition salt. In some embodiments, they are dimerized or polymerized, or conjugated.

[0082] The antibodies, polypeptides, and / or proteins of embodiments of the disclosure (including functional portions and functional variants thereof) can be obtained by methods known in the art. Suitable methods of de novo synthesizing polypeptides and proteins are described in references, such as Chan et al., Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, Oxford University Press, Oxford, United Kingdom, 2000; Peptide and Protein Drug Analysis, ed. -18- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) Reid, R., Marcel Dekker, inc., 2000; and Epitope Mapping, ed. Westwood et al., Oxford University Press, Oxford, United Kingdom, 2001. Also, polypeptides and proteins can be recombinantly produced using the nucleic acids described herein using standard recombinant methods. See, for instance, Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 3rded., Cold Spring Harbor Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.2001; and Ausubel et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Greene Publishing Associates and John Wiley & Sons, NY, 1994. Further, some of the antibodies, polypeptides, and proteins of the disclosure (including functional portions and functional variants thereof) can be isolated and / or purified from a source, such as a plant, a bacterium, an insect, a mammal, etc. Methods of isolation and purification are known in the art. Alternatively, the antibodies, polypeptides, and / or proteins described herein (including functional portions and functional variants thereof) can be commercially synthesized. In this respect, the antibodies, polypeptides, and proteins can be synthetic, recombinant, isolated, and / or purified.

[0083] The terms “B-cell maturation antigen” and “BCMA” as used herein include human B cell maturation antigen, also known as BCMA, CD269, and TNFRSF17 (UniProt Q02223), which is a member of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily that is preferentially expressed in differentiated plasma cells. The extracellular domain of human BCMA consists, according to UniProt of amino acids 1-54 (or 5-51).

[0084] “Bispecific” refers to an antibody that specifically binds two distinct antigens or two distinct epitopes within the same antigen. The bispecific antibody may have cross- reactivity to other related antigens, for example to the same antigen from other species (homologs), such as human or monkey, for example Macaca cynomolgus (cynomolgus, cyno) or Pan troglodytes, or may bind an epitope that is shared between two or more distinct antigens.

[0085] “Cancer” refers to a broad group of various diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. Unregulated cell division and growth results in the formation of malignant tumors that invade neighboring tissues and may also metastasize to distant parts of the body through the lymphatic system or bloodstream. A “cancer” or “cancer tissue” can include a tumor.

[0086] “CD3” refers to a human antigen which is expressed on T cells as part of the multimolecular T cell receptor (TCR) complex and which consists of a homodimer or heterodimer formed from the association of two or four receptor chains: CD3 epsilon, CD3 -19- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) delta, CD3 zeta and CD3 gamma. Human CD3 epsilon comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 122. SEQ ID NO: 123 shows the extracellular domain of CD3 epsilon.

[0087] “CD38” refers to the human CD38 protein (UniProt accession no. P28907) (synonyms: ADP-ribosyl cyclase 1, cADPr hydrolase 1, cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase 1). CD38 is a single pass type II transmembrane protein with amino acid residues 1-21 representing the cytosolic domain, amino acid residues 22-42 representing the transmembrane domain, and residues 43-300 representing the extracellular domain.

[0088] “CH3 region” or “CH3 domain” refers to the CH3 region of an immunoglobulin. The CH3 region of human IgG1 antibody corresponds to amino acid residues 341-446. However, the CH3 region may also be any of the other antibody isotypes as described herein. The substitutions in the CH3 region are expressed as modified position(s) in the first CH3 domain of the first heavy chain / modified position(s) in the second CH3 domain of the second heavy chain. For example, F405L / K409R refers to a F405L mutation in the first CH3 region and K09R mutation in the second CH3 region. L351Y_F405A_Y407V / T394W refers to L351Y, F40FA and Y407V mutations in the first CH3 region and T394W mutation in the second CH3 region. D399FHKRQ / K409AGRH refers to mutation in which D399 may be replaced by F, H, K R or Q, and K409 may be replaced by A, G, R or H.

[0089] “Ciltacabtagene autoleucel” (“cilta-cel”) is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy comprising two B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting VHH domains designed to confer avidity for BCMA. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel can comprise T lymphocytes transduced with the ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR, a CAR encoded by a lentiviral vector. The CAR targets the human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR). A diagram of the lentiviral vector encoding ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR is provided in FIG.3. The amino acid sequence of the ciltacabtagene autoleucel CAR is the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 17.

[0090] A “chimeric antigen receptor” or “CAR” is an artificially constructed hybrid protein or polypeptide containing the antigen binding domains of at least one antibody (or antibody fragment) linked to T-cell signaling domains. Characteristics of CARs can include their ability to redirect T-cell specificity and reactivity toward a selected target in a non- MHC-restricted manner, exploiting the antigen-binding properties of monoclonal antibodies. The non-MHC-restricted antigen recognition gives T cells expressing CARs the ability to recognize antigens independent of antigen processing, thus bypassing a major mechanism of tumor evasion. Moreover, when expressed in T-cells, advantageously, CARs do not dimerize -20- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) with endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) α- and β-chains. T cells expressing a CAR are referred to herein as CAR T cells, CAR-T cells or CAR modified T cells, and these terms are used interchangeably herein. The cell can be genetically modified to stably express at least one antigen-binding domain on its surface, conferring novel antigen specificity that is MHC independent. “BCMA CAR” refers to a CAR having an extracellular binding domain specific for BCMA. “Bi-epitope CAR” refers to a CAR having an extracellular binding domain specific for two different epitopes of an antigen, such as BCMA.

[0091] “Combination” means that two or more therapeutics are administered to a subject together in a mixture, concurrently as single agents or sequentially as single agents in any order.

[0092] “Complementarity determining regions” (CDR) are antibody regions that bind an antigen. CDRs may be defined using various delineations such as Kabat (Wu et al. J Exp Med 132: 211-50, 1970) (Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5th Ed. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., 1991), Chothia (Chothia et al. J Mol Biol 196: 901-17, 1987), IMGT (Lefranc et al. Dev Comp Immunol 27: 55-77, 2003) and AbM (Martin and Thornton J Bmol Biol 263: 800-15, 1996). The correspondence between the various delineations and variable region numbering are described (see e.g., Lefranc et al. Dev Comp Immunol 27: 55-77, 2003; Honegger and Pluckthun, J Mol Biol 309:657-70, 2001; International ImMunoGeneTics (IMGT) database; Web resources, http: / / www_imgt_org). Available programs such as abYsis by UCL Business PLC may be used to delineate CDRs. The term “CDR”, “HCDR1”, “HCDR2”, “HCDR3”, “LCDR1”, “LCDR2” and “LCDR3” as used herein includes CDRs defined by any of the methods described supra, Kabat, Chothia, IMGT or AbM, unless otherwise explicitly stated in the specification. Correspondence between the numbering system, including, for example, the Kabat numbering and the IMGT unique numbering system, is well known to one skilled in the art (see, e.g., Kabat; Chothia; Martin; Lefranc et al.).

[0097] The term “effective” applied to dose or amount refers to that quantity of a compound or pharmaceutical composition that is sufficient to result in a desired activity upon administration to a subject in need thereof. Note that when a combination of active ingredients is administered, the effective amount of the combination may or may not include amounts of each ingredient that would have been effective if administered individually. The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the condition being treated, the particular drug or drugs employed, the mode of administration, and the like. -22- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0098] By “enhance” or “promote,” or “increase” or “expand” or “improve” refers generally to the ability of a composition contemplated herein to produce, elicit, or cause a greater physiological response (i.e., downstream effects) compared to the response caused by either vehicle or a control molecule / composition. A measurable physiological response may include an increase in T cell expansion, activation, effector function, persistence, and / or an increase in cancer cell death killing ability, among others apparent from the understanding in the art and the description herein. In some embodiments, an “increased” or “enhanced” amount can be a “statistically significant” amount, and may include an increase that is 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, or more times (e.g., 500, 1000 times) (including all integers and decimal points in-between and above 1, e.g., 1.5, 1.6, 1.7.1.8, etc.) the response produced by vehicle or a control composition. “Enhance” or “enhanced” also refers to enhancement in one or more functions of a test molecule when compared to a control molecule or a combination of test molecules when compared to one or more control molecules. Exemplary functions that can be measured are tumor cell killing, T cell activation, relative or absolute T cell number, Fc-mediated effector function (e.g., ADCC, CDC and / or ADCP) or binding to an Fc^ receptor (FcγR) or FcRn. “Enhanced” may be an enhancement of about 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% or more, or a statistically significant enhancement.

[0099] The terms “express” and “expression” mean allowing for or causing the information in a gene or DNA sequence to become produced. For example, expression can take the form of producing a protein by activating the cellular functions involved in transcription and translation of a corresponding gene or DNA sequence. A DNA sequence is expressed in or by a cell to form an “expression product” such as a protein. The expression product itself, e.g., the resulting protein, may also be said to be “expressed” by the cell. An expression product can be characterized as intracellular, extracellular or transmembrane.

[0100] “Fc gamma receptor” (Fc^R) refers to well-known Fc^RI, Fc^RIIa, Fc^RIIb or Fc^RIII. Activating Fc^R includes Fc^RI, Fc^RIIa and Fc^RIII.

[0101] The terms “fragment of an antibody”, “antibody fragment”, “functional fragment of an antibody”, and “antigen-binding portion” are used interchangeably herein to mean one or more fragments or portions of an antibody that retain the ability to specifically bind to an antigen (see, generally, Holliger et al., Nat. Biotech., 23(9): 1126-1129 (2005)). The antigen recognition moiety of the CAR encoded by the nucleic acid sequence disclosed herein can contain any BCMA-binding antibody fragment. The antibody fragment desirably comprises, -23- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) for example, one or more CDRs, the variable region (or portions thereof), the constant region (or portions thereof), or combinations thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, (i) a Fab fragment, which is a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CHI domains; (ii) a F(ab’)2 fragment, which is a bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region; (iii) a Fv fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody; (iv) a single chain Fv (scFv), which is a monovalent molecule consisting of the two domains of the Fv fragment (i.e., VL and VH) joined by a synthetic linker which enables the two domains to be synthesized as a single polypeptide chain (see, e.g., Bird et al., Science, 242: 423-426 (1988); Huston et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 85: 5879-5883 (1988); and Osbourn et al., Nat. Biotechnol, 16: 778 (1998)) and (v) a diabody, which is a dimer of polypeptide chains, wherein each polypeptide chain comprises a VH connected to a VL by a peptide linker that is too short to allow pairing between the VH and VL on the same polypeptide chain, thereby driving the pairing between the complementary domains on different VH -VL polypeptide chains to generate a dimeric molecule having two functional antigen binding sites. Antibody fragments are known in the art and are described in more detail in, e.g., U.S. Patent Application Publication 2009 / 0093024 A1. Antigen binding fragments may be synthetic, enzymatically obtainable or genetically engineered polypeptides and include portions of an immunoglobulin that bind an antigen, such as the VH, the VL, the VH and the VL, Fab, Fab’, F(ab’)2, Fd and Fv fragments, domain antibodies (dAb) consisting of one VH domain or one VL domain, shark variable IgNAR domains, VH domains modified to function without a corresponding VL domain ns, VHH domains, minimal recognition units consisting of the amino acid residues that mimic the CDRs of an antibody, such as FR3-CDR3-FR4 portions, the HCDR1, the HCDR2 and / or the HCDR3 and the LCDR1, the LCDR2 and / or the LCDR3, alternative scaffolds that bind an antigen, and multispecific proteins comprising the antigen binding fragments. Antigen binding fragments (such as VH and VL) may be linked together via a synthetic linker to form various types of single antibody designs where the VH / VL domains may pair intramolecularly, or intermolecularly in those cases when the VH and VL domains are expressed by separate single chains, to form a monovalent antigen binding domain, such as single chain Fv (scFv) or diabody. Antigen binding fragments may also be conjugated to other antibodies, proteins, antigen binding fragments or alternative scaffolds which may be monospecific or multispecific to engineer bispecific and multispecific proteins. -24- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

This dual / multi-target binding ability recruit T cells to the target cell or tissue leading to the eradication of the target cell or tissue.

[0105] The phrase “hazard ratio” refers to a measure of the relative rate of progression to an endpoint as compared to a control group. In outcome-based clinical trials, a reduction in the hazard ratio for a test arm as compared to the control indicates the treatment used in the test arm reduces the risk of the endpoint, in the case of the studies described herein, disease progression or death. Preferably hazard ratio is calculated per a stratified constant piecewise weighted log-rank test.

[0106] The term “heavy chain-only antibody” or “HCAb” refers to a functional antibody, which comprises heavy chains, but lacks the light chains usually found in 4-chain antibodies. Camelid animals (such as camels, llamas, or alpacas) are known to produce HCAbs.

[0107] “Human antibody” refers to an antibody that is optimized to have minimal immune response when administered to a human subject. Variable regions of human antibody are derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. If human antibody contains a constant region or a portion of the constant region, the constant region is also derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. Human antibody comprises heavy and light chain variable regions that are “derived from” sequences of human origin if the variable regions of the -25- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) human antibody are obtained from a system that uses human germline immunoglobulin or rearranged immunoglobulin genes. Such exemplary systems are human immunoglobulin gene libraries displayed on phage, and transgenic non-human animals such as mice or rats carrying human immunoglobulin loci. “Human antibody” typically contains amino acid differences when compared to the immunoglobulins expressed in humans due to differences between the systems used to obtain the human antibody and human immunoglobulin loci, introduction of somatic mutations or intentional introduction of substitutions into the frameworks or CDRs, or both. Typically, “human antibody” is at least about 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identical in amino acid sequence to an amino acid sequence encoded by human germline immunoglobulin or rearranged immunoglobulin genes. In some cases, “human antibody” may contain consensus framework sequences derived from human framework sequence analyses, for example as described in Knappik et al., (2000) J Mol Biol 296:57-86, or synthetic HCDR3 incorporated into human immunoglobulin gene libraries displayed on phage, for example as described in Shi et al., (2010) J Mol Biol 397:385-96, and in Int. Patent Publ. No. WO2009 / 085462. Antibodies in which at least one CDR is derived from a non-human species are not included in the definition of “human antibody”.

[0108] “Humanized antibody” refers to an antibody in which at least one CDR is derived from non-human species and at least one framework is derived from human immunoglobulin sequences. Humanized antibody may include substitutions in the frameworks so that the frameworks may not be exact copies of expressed human immunoglobulin or human immunoglobulin germline gene sequences.

[0110] The term “line of therapy,” as used in connection with methods of treatment herein, refers to one or more cycles of a planned treatment program, which may have consisted of one or more planned cycles of single-agent therapy or combination therapy, as well as a -26- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) sequence of treatments administered in a planned manner. For example, a planned treatment approach of induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation followed by maintenance is one line of therapy. A new line of therapy is considered to have started when a planned course of therapy has been modified to include other treatment agents or medicaments (alone or in combination) as a result of disease progression, relapse, or toxicity. A new line of therapy is also considered to have started when a planned period of observation off therapy had been interrupted by a need for additional treatment for the disease.

[0111] “Monoclonal antibody” refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogenous population of antibody molecules, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible well-known alterations such as removal of C- terminal lysine from the antibody heavy chain or post-translational modifications such as amino acid isomerization or deamidation, methionine oxidation or asparagine or glutamine deamidation. Monoclonal antibodies typically bind one antigenic epitope. A bispecific monoclonal antibody binds two distinct antigenic epitopes. Monoclonal antibodies may have heterogeneous glycosylation within the antibody population. Monoclonal antibody may be monospecific or multispecific such as bispecific, monovalent, bivalent or multivalent.

[0112] “Multispecific” refers to an antibody that specifically binds at least two distinct antigens or at least two distinct epitopes within the same antigen. Multispecific antibody may bind for example two, three, four or five distinct antigens or distinct epitopes within the same antigen.

In some embodiments, multiple myeloma is defined as clonal bone marrow plasma cells ≥10% or biopsy-proven bony or extramedullary plasmacytoma and any one or more of the following myeloma-defining events, as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria: ^ Evidence of end organ damage that can be attributed to the underlying plasma cell proliferative disorder, specifically: -27- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) o C: Hypercalcemia: serum calcium >0.25 mmol / L (>1 mg / dL) higher than the ULN or >2.75 mmol / L (>11 mg / dL) o R: Renal insufficiency: CrCl <40 mL / min (measured or estimated by validated equations) or serum creatinine >177 μmol / L (>2 mg / dL) o A: Anemia: hemoglobin value >20 g / L below the lower limit of normal, or hemoglobin value <100 g / L o B: Bone lesions: ≥1 osteolytic lesions on skeletal radiography, CT, or PET / CT (If bone marrow has less than 10% clonal plasma cells, more than one bone lesion is required to distinguish from solitary plasmacytoma with minimal marrow involvement; PET / CT=18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET with CT) ^ Any one or more of the following biomarkers of malignancy: o Clonal bone marrow plasma cell percentage0≥60% (these values are based on the serum Freelite assay [The Binding Site Group, Birmingham, United Kingdom]; the involved FLC must be ≥100 mg / L) o Involved:uninvolved serum FLC ratio ≥100 (each focal lesion must be ≥5 mm in size) o >1 focal lesion on MRI studies (Rajkumar 2014) Clonality should be established by showing κ / λ-light chain restriction on flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, or IHC. Bone marrow plasma cell percentage should preferably be estimated from a biopsy specimen; in case of a disparity between the aspirate and biopsy, the highest value should be used.

[0115] The term “apheresis”as used herein refers to the art-recognized extracorporeal process by which the blood of a donor or patient is removed from the donor or patient and passed through an apparatus that separates out selected particular constituent(s) and returns the remainder to the circulation of the donor or patient, e.g., by retransfusion. Thus, in the context of “an 28pheresis material” refers to material obtained using apheresis.

[0116] “Non-fixed combination” refers to separate pharmaceutical compositions of the T cell redirecting therapeutic and the anti-CD38 antibody administered as separate entities either simultaneously, concurrently or sequentially with no specific intervening time limits, wherein such administration provides effective levels of the two compounds in the body of the subject.

[0118] The terms “nucleic acid”, “nucleotide”, and “polynucleotide” encompass both DNA and RNA unless specified otherwise. By a “nucleic acid sequence” or “nucleotide sequence” is meant the nucleic acid sequence encoding an amino acid; these terms may also refer to the nucleic acid sequence including the portion coding for any amino acids added as an artifact of cloning, including any amino acids coded for by linkers.

[0119] As used herein, the term “operatively linked,” and similar phrases, when used in reference to nucleic acids or amino acids, refer to the operational linkage of nucleic acid sequences or amino acid sequence, respectively, placed in functional relationships with each other. For example, an operatively linked promoter, enhancer elements, open reading frame, 5’ and 3’ UTR, and terminator sequences result in the accurate production of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., RNA). In some embodiments, operatively linked nucleic acid elements result in the transcription of an open reading frame and ultimately the production of a polypeptide (i.e., expression of the open reading frame). As another example, an operatively linked peptide is one in which the functional domains are placed with appropriate distance from each other to impart the intended function of each domain.

[0120] “Pomalidomide” also termed “POMALYST®” refers to an analog of thalidomide, which is a third generation ImiD (immunomodulatory drug) with antineoplastic activity. ImiDs, such as lenalidomide and pomalidomide, form the backbone of several current multiple myeloma treatment regimens. Their exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but ImiDs have an immunomodulatory effect on the multiple myeloma tumor microenvironment and may affect expression of tumor suppressor genes, promote apoptosis of myeloma cells, and enhance NK mediated myeloma cell lysis. The combination of daratumumab with ImiDs has been evaluated in multiple studies and demonstrated significant improvement in efficacy.

[0121] “Pharmaceutical composition” refers to composition that comprises an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0122] The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable”, as used in connection with compositions described herein, refers to molecular entities and other ingredients of such compositions that are physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce untoward reactions when administered to a mammal (e.g., a human). Preferably, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in mammals, and more particularly in humans. -29- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0123] “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “excipient” refers to an ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition, other than the active ingredient, which is nontoxic to a subject.

[0124] “Philadelphia chromosome” or “Ph” refers to a well-known chromosomal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22, resulting in the oncogenic BCR-ABL gene fusion with constitutively active tyrosine kinase activity. The translocation results in a portion of the BCR gene from chromosome 22q11 becoming fused with a portion of the ABL gene from chromosome 9q34, and is designated as t(9;22)(q34;q11) under the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN). Depending on the precise location of the fusion, the molecular weight of the resulting fusion protein can range from 185 to 210 kDa. “Philadelphia chromosome” refers to all BCR-ABL fusion proteins formed due the (9;22)(q34;q11) translocation.

[0125] The term “protein” or “polypeptide” is used herein encompasses all kinds of naturally occurring and synthetic proteins, including protein fragments of all lengths, fusion proteins and modified proteins, including without limitation, glycoproteins, as well as all other types of modified proteins (e.g., proteins resulting from phosphorylation, acetylation, myristoylation, palmitoylation, glycosylation, oxidation, formylation, amidation, polyglutamylation, ADP-ribosylation, pegylation, biotinylation, etc.).

[0129] “Relapsed” refers to a cancer that responded to treatment but then returns.

[0130] The term “single-domain antibody” or “sdAb” refers to a single antigen-binding polypeptide having three complementary determining regions (CDRs). The sdAb alone is capable of binding to the antigen without pairing with a corresponding CDR-containing polypeptide. In some cases, single-domain antibodies are engineered from camelid HCAbs, and their heavy chain variable domains are referred herein as “VHHs”. Some VHHs may also be known as “Nanobodies”. A camelid sdAb is one of the smallest known antigen-binding antibody fragments (see, e.g., Hamers-Casterman et al., Nature 363:446-8 (1993); Greenberg et al., Nature 374:168-73 (1995); Hassanzadeh-Ghassabeh et al., Nanomedicine (Lond), 8:1013-26 (2013)). A basic VHH has the following structure from the N-terminus to the C- terminus: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4, in which FR1 to FR4 refer to framework regions 1 to 4, respectively, and in which CDR1 to CDR3 refer to the complementarity determining regions 1 to 3.

[0131] As used herein, the terms “specifically binds”, “specifically recognizes”, or “specific for” refer to measurable and reproducible interactions such as binding between a target and an antigen binding protein (such as a CAR or a VHH), which is determinative of the presence of the target in the presence of a heterogeneous population of molecules including biological molecules.

[0132] The term “specificity” refers to selective recognition of an antigen binding protein (such as a CAR or a VHH) for a particular epitope of an antigen. Natural antibodies, for example, are monospecific. The term “multispecific” denotes that an antigen binding protein (such as a CAR or antibody) has two or more antigen-binding sites of which at least two bind different antigen-binding specificities. “Bispecific” as used herein denotes that an antigen binding protein (such as a CAR or antibody) has two different antigen-binding specificities.

[0133] As used herein, the term “subject” refers to an animal. The terms “subject” and “patient” may be used interchangeably herein in reference to a subject. As such, a “subject” includes a human that is being treated for a disease, or prevention of a disease, as a patient. The methods described herein may be used to treat an animal subject belonging to any classification. Examples of such animals include mammals. Mammals, include, but are not limited to, mammals of the order Rodentia, such as mice and hamsters, and mammals of the order Logomorpha, such as rabbits. The mammals may be of the order Carnivora, including -31- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) felines (cats) and canines (dogs). The mammals may be of the order Artiodactyla, including bovines (cows) and swines (pigs) or of the order Perssodactyla, including equines (horses). The mammals may be of the order Primates, Ceboids, or Simoids (monkeys) or of the order Anthropoids (humans and apes). In some embodiments, the mammal is a human.

[0134] The terms “T cell” and “T lymphocyte” are interchangeable and used synonymously herein. As used herein, T cell includes thymocytes, naive T lymphocytes, immature T lymphocytes, mature T lymphocytes, resting T lymphocytes, or activated T lymphocytes. A T cell can be a T helper (Th) cell, for example a T helper 1 (Th1) or a T helper 2 (Th2) cell. The T cell can be a helper T cell (HTL; CD4+ T cell) CD4+ T cell, a cytotoxic T cell (CTL; CD8+ T cell), a tumor infiltrating cytotoxic T cell (TIL; CD8+ T cell), CD4+CD8+ T cell, or any other subset of T cells. Other illustrative populations of T cells suitable for use in particular embodiments include naive T cells and memory T cells. Also included are “NKT cells”, which refer to a specialized population of T cells that express a semi-invariant αβ T-cell receptor, but also express a variety of molecular markers that are typically associated with NK cells, such as NK1.1. NKT cells include NK1.1+ and NK1.1-, as well as CD4+, CD4-, CD8+ and CD8- cells. The TCR on NKT cells is unique in that it recognizes glycolipid antigens presented by the MHC I-like molecule CD1d. NKT cells can have either protective or deleterious effects due to their abilities to produce cytokines that promote either inflammation or immune tolerance. Also included are “gamma-delta T cells (γδ T cells),” which refer to a specialized population that to a small subset of T cells possessing a distinct TCR on their surface, and unlike the majority of T cells in which the TCR is composed of two glycoprotein chains designated α- and β-TCR chains, the TCR in γδ T cells is made up of a γ-chain and a δ-chain. Γδ T cells can play a role in immunosurveillance and immunoregulation, and were found to be an important source of IL- 17 and to induce robust CD8+ cytotoxic T cell response. Also included are “regulatory T cells” or “Tregs”, which refer to T cells that suppress an abnormal or excessive immune response and play a role in immune tolerance. Tregs are typically transcription factor Foxp3- positive CD4+T cells and can also include transcription factor Foxp3-negative regulatory T cells that are IL-10-producing CD4+T cells.

[0135] “Therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, at doses and for periods of time necessary, to achieve a desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of a therapeutic or a combination of therapeutics to elicit a desired -32- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) response in the individual. Exemplary indicators of an effective therapeutic or combination of therapeutics that include, for example, improved well-being of the patient.

[0136] “Transplant-ineligible” means patients who, due to older age, high comorbid burden, or poor performance status, are at an increased risk of treatment-related toxicities. Grant, Shakira J et al., Journal of Geriatric Oncology, vol.12,4 (2021).

[0137] The terms “treat” or “treatment” refer to therapeutic treatment wherein the object is to slow down or lessen an undesired physiological change or disease, or provide a beneficial or desired clinical outcome during treatment. Beneficial or desired clinical outcomes include alleviation of symptoms, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilization (i.e., a cessation in the worsening) of the state of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and / or remission (whether partial or total and whether detectable or undetectable). “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if a subject was not receiving treatment. Those in need of treatment include those subjects already with the undesired physiological change or disease as well as those subjects prone to having the physiological change or disease. Treatment may involve a treatment agent, also referred to herein as a “medicament” or “medication,” that may be intended to help achieve the beneficial or desired clinical outcome of interest by its action. Treatment agents or medicaments may be administered to a subject by many routes, including at least intravenous and oral routes. The term “intravenous,” in connection to the administration of treatment agents or medicaments, refers to the administration of said treatment agents or medicaments within one or more veins. The term “oral,” in connection to the administration of treatment agents or medicaments, refers to the administration of said treatment agents or medicaments via an oral passage such as the mouth.

[0138] “Tumor cell” or a “cancer cell” refers to a cancerous, pre-cancerous or transformed cell, either in vivo, ex vivo, or in tissue culture, that has spontaneous or induced phenotypic changes. These changes do not necessarily involve the uptake of new genetic material. Although transformation may arise from infection with a transforming virus and incorporation of new genomic nucleic acid, uptake of exogenous nucleic acid or it can also arise spontaneously or following exposure to a carcinogen, thereby mutating an endogenous gene. Transformation / cancer is exemplified by morphological changes, immortalization of cells, aberrant growth control, foci formation, proliferation, malignancy, modulation of tumor specific marker levels, invasiveness, tumor growth in suitable animal hosts such as nude mice, and the like, in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo. -33- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0139] The term “variable” refers to the fact that certain segments of the variable domains differ extensively in sequence among antibodies. The V domain (i.e., variable domain) mediates antigen binding and defines the specificity of a particular antibody for its particular antigen. However, the variability is not evenly distributed across the entire span of the variable domains. Instead, it is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (HVRs) both in the light-chain and the heavy-chain variable domains. The more highly conserved portions of variable domains are called the framework regions (FR). The variable domains of native heavy and light chains each comprise four FR regions, largely adopting a β-sheet configuration, connected by three HVRs, which form loops connecting, and in some cases forming part of, the β-sheet structure. The HVRs in each chain are held together in close proximity by the FR regions and contribute to the formation of the antigen binding site of antibodies (with the HVRs from the other chain, if the antibody is not a sdAb or HCAb) (see Kabat et al., Sequences of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, Md. (1991)). The constant domains are not involved directly in the binding of antibody to an antigen, but exhibit various effector functions, such as participation of the antibody in antibody-dependent cellular toxicity.

[0140] The “variable region” or “variable domain” of an antibody refers to the amino- terminal domains of the heavy or light chain of the antibody. The variable domains of the heavy chain and light chain may be referred to as “VH” and “VL”, respectively. These domains are generally the most variable parts of the antibody (relative to other antibodies of the same class) and contain the antigen binding sites. Heavy-chain only antibodies from the Camelid species have a single heavy chain variable region, which is referred to as “VHH” domain. VHH is thus a special type of variable region.

[0141] The dosing frequencies provided for herein are understood to be synonymous with standard terms in the art. For example, “weekly” dosing is understood to be synonymous with “QW”. For example, “biweekly” dosing is understood to be synonymous with “Q2W”. For example, “once every four weeks” is understood to be synonymous with “Q4W”. Unless explicitly stated to the contrary, “once every four weeks” and “monthly” are used interchangeably in the context of dosing frequencies. Accordingly, “monthly” or “once a month” is also understood to be synonymous with “Q4W” unless explicitly stated otherwise.

[0142] When referring to a dosage amount, “µg / kg” or “mg / kg” refers to the amount of an active agent, such as a bispecific antibody or antibody, in microgram (µg) or milligram (mg) administered to a subject per kilogram (kg) body weight of the subject. -34- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0143] Additionally, throughout this disclosure, various aspects and embodiments of the disclosure can be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 2.7, 3, 4, 5, 5.3, and 6. As another example, a range such as 95-99 % identity, includes something with 95 %, 96 %, 97 %, 98 % or 99 % identity, and includes subranges such as 96-99 %, 96-98 %, 96-97 %, 97-99 %, 97-98 % and 98-99 % identity. This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.

[0144] The numbering of amino acid residues in the antibody constant region throughout the specification is according to the EU index as described in Kabat et al., Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, 5thEd. Public Health Service, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD. (1991), unless otherwise explicitly stated. Antibody constant chain numbering can be found for example at ImMunoGeneTics website, at IMGT Web resources at IMGT Scientific charts.

[0145] The substitutions in the CH3 region are expressed as modified position(s) in the first CH3 domain of the first heavy chain / modified position(s) in the second CH3 domain of the second heavy chain. For example, F405L / K409R refers to a F405L mutation in the first CH3 region and K09R mutation in the second CH3 region. L351Y_F405A_Y407V / T394W refers to L351Y, F40FA and Y407V mutations in the first CH3 region and T394W mutation in the second CH3 region. D399FHKRQ / K409AGRH refers to mutation in which D399 may be replaced by F, H, K R or Q, and K409 may be replaced by A, G, R or H.

[0162] Without wishing to be bound by theory, the CARs that are multivalent, or those CARs comprising an extracellular antigen binding domain comprising a first BCMA binding moiety and a second BCMA binding moiety, may be specially suitable for targeting multimeric antigens via synergistic binding by the different antigen binding sites, or for enhancing binding affinity or avidity to the antigen. Improved avidity may allow for a substantial reduction in the dose of CAR-T cells needed to achieve a therapeutic effect, such as a dose ranging from 4.0 x 104 to 1.0 x 106 CAR-T cells per kilogram of the mass of the subject, or 3.0 x 106 to 1.0 x 108 total CAR-T expressing cells. Monovalent CARs, such as bb2121, may need to be dosed at 5 to 10 times these amounts to achieve a comparable effect. In various embodiments, reduced dosage ranges may provide for substantial reduction in cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and other potentially dangerous side-effects of CAR-T therapy.

The peptide linkers connecting different binding moieties (such as VHHs) may be the same or different. Different domains of the CARs may also be connected to each other via peptide linkers. In some embodiments, the binding moieties (such as VHHs) are directly connected to each other without any peptide linkers.

[0164] The peptide linker in the CARs described herein can be of any suitable length. In some embodiments, the peptide linker is at least about any of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75, 100 or more amino acids long.

In one embodiment, for example, the T-cell activation moiety comprises a transmembrane domain. The transmembrane domain can be any transmembrane domain derived or obtained from any molecule known in the art. For example, the transmembrane domain can be obtained or derived from a CD8α molecule or a CD28 molecule. Without wishing to be bound by theory, CD8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein that serves as a co-receptor for the T- cell receptor (TCR) and is expressed primarily on the surface of cytotoxic T-cells. The most common form of CD8 exists as a dimer composed of a CD8 alpha (CD8α) and CD8 beta (CD8β) chain. CD28 is expressed on T-cells and provides co-stimulatory signals required for T-cell activation. CD28 is the receptor for CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2). In a preferred embodiment, the CD8α and CD28 are human.

Without wishing to be bound by theory: (1) CD28 is a T-cell marker important in T- cell co- stimulation; (2) CD3ζ associates with TCRs to produce a signal and contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs); and (3) 4-1BB, also known as CD137, transmits a potent costimulatory signal to T-cells, promoting differentiation and enhancing long-term survival of T lymphocytes. In a preferred embodiment, the CD28, CD3 zeta, 4- IBB, OX40, and CD27 are human.

[0168] The T-cell activation domain of the CAR encoded by the nucleic acid sequence disclosed herein can comprise any one of aforementioned transmembrane domains and any one or more of the aforementioned intercellular T-cell signaling domains in any combination.

The choice of carrier will be determined in part by the particular nucleic acid sequence, vector, or host cells expressing the CAR disclosed herein, as well as by the particular method used to administer the nucleic acid sequence, vector, or host cells expressing the CAR disclosed herein. Accordingly, there are a variety of suitable formulations of the pharmaceutical composition of the disclosure.

[0184] For example, the pharmaceutical composition can contain preservatives. Suitable preservatives may include, for example, methylparaben, propylparaben, sodium benzoate, and benzalkonium chloride. A mixture of two or more preservatives optionally may be used. -45- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) The preservative or mixtures thereof are typically present in an amount of about 0.0001% to about 2% by weight of the total composition.

[0185] In addition, buffering agents may be used in the composition. Suitable buffering agents include, for example, citric acid, sodium citrate, phosphoric acid, potassium phosphate, and various other acids and salts.

[0188] G Protein-Coupled Receptor Class C Group 5 Member D (GPRC5D) is a 7 transmembrane receptor protein that is classified as a type C G protein-coupled receptor -46- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) based on the sequence homology score, and is an orphan receptor whose ligand and signaling mechanisms are yet to be identified. GPRC5D messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is predominantly expressed in cells with a plasma cell phenotype and also expressed in all malignant plasma cells from patients with multiple myeloma. The expression of GPRC5D on the plasma cell lineage makes it a target for T cell mediated therapy to treat plasma cell disorders like multiple myeloma. A GPRC5D xCD3 bispecific antibody targets the CD3 receptor complex on T cells and GPRC5D on plasma cells. The dual binding sites allow the GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody to draw CD3+ T cells in close proximity to myeloma cells, without regard to T cell receptor specificity or reliance on MHC Class 1 molecules on the surface of antigen presenting cells for activation, leading to cell death of the GPRC5D- positive cells.

[0189] Any suitable GPRC5D xCD3 bispecific antibody can be used in a method of the application. Exemplary multispecific and / or bispecific formats include dual targeting molecules include Dual Targeting (DT)-Ig (GSK / Domantis), Two-in-one Antibody (Genentech) and mAb2 (F-Star), Dual Variable Domain (DVD)-Ig (Abbott), Ts2Ab (MedImmune / AZ) and BsAb (Zymogenetics), HERCULES (Biogen Idec) and TvAb (Roche), ScFv / Fc Fusions (Academic Institution), SCORPION (Emergent BioSolutions / Trubion, Zymogenetics / BMS) and Dual Affinity Retargeting Technology (Fc- DART) (MacroGenics), F(ab)2 (Medarex / AMGEN), Dual-Action or Bis-Fab (Genentech), Dock-and-Lock (DNL) (ImmunoMedics), Bivalent Bispecific (Biotecnol) and Fab-Fv (UCB- Celltech), Bispecific T Cell Engager (BITE) (Micromet), Tandem Diabody (Tandab) (Affimed), Dual Affinity Retargeting Technology (DART) (MacroGenics), Single-chain Diabody (Academic), TCR-like Antibodies (AIT, ReceptorLogics), Human Serum Albumin ScFv Fusion (Merrimack) and COMBODY (Epigen Biotech), dual targeting nanobodies (Ablynx), dual targeting heavy chain only domain antibodies. Various formats of bispecific antibodies have been described, for example in Chames and Baty (2009) Curr Opin Drug Disc Dev 12: 276 and in Nunez-Prado et al., (2015) Drug Discovery Today 20(5):588-594.

[0190] In some embodiments, the GPRC5D xCD3 bispecific antibody and the anti-CD38 antibody are antigen binding fragments. Exemplary antigen binding fragments are Fab, F(ab’)2, Fd and Fv fragments.

[0191] In some embodiments, the GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody is chimeric, humanized or human. -47- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0208] In some embodiments, the GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody is an IgG4 isotype.

[0209] The GPRC5DxCD3 bispecific antibody can be of any allotype. Immunogenicity of therapeutic antibodies is associated with increased risk of infusion reactions and decreased duration of therapeutic response (Baert et al., (2003) N Engl J Med 348:602-08). The extent to which therapeutic antibodies induce an immune response in the host may be determined in part by the allotype of the antibody (Stickler et al., (2011) Genes and Immunity 12:213-21). Antibody allotype is related to amino acid sequence variations at specific locations in the constant region sequences of the antibody. Table 8 shows select IgG1, IgG2 and IgG4 allotypes. Table 8.

[0246] T cell redirecting bispecific antibodies may be generated in vitro in a cell-free environment by introducing asymmetrical mutations in the CH3 regions of two monospecific homodimeric antibodies and forming the bispecific heterodimeric antibody from two parent monospecific homodimeric antibodies in reducing conditions to allow disulfide bond isomerization according to methods described in Intl. Pat. Publ. No. WO2011 / 131746. In the methods, two monospecific bivalent antibodies are engineered to have certain substitutions at the CH3 domain that promote heterodimer stability; the antibodies are incubated together under reducing conditions sufficient to allow the cysteines in the hinge region to undergo disulfide bond isomerization; thereby generating the bispecific antibody by Fab arm exchange.

[0260] “Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity”, “antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity” or “ADCC” is a mechanism for inducing cell death that depends upon the interaction of antibody-coated target cells with effector cells possessing lytic activity, such as natural killer cells (NK), monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils via Fc gamma receptors (Fc^R) expressed on effector cells. For example, NK cells express Fc^RIIIa, whereas monocytes express Fc^RI, Fc^RII and Fc^RIIIa. ADCC activity of the antibodies may be assessed using an in vitro assay using cells expressing the protein the antibody binds to as target cells and NK cells as effector cells. Cytolysis may be detected by the release of label (e.g., radioactive substrates, fluorescent dyes or natural intracellular proteins) from the lysed cells. In an exemplary assay, target cells are used with a ratio of 1 target cell to 4 effector cells. Target cells are pre-labeled with BATDA and combined with effector cells and the test antibody. The samples are incubated for 2 hours and cell lysis measured by measuring released BATDA into the supernatant. Data is normalized to maximal cytotoxicity with 0.67% Triton X-100 (Sigma Aldrich) and minimal control determined by spontaneous release of BATDA from target cells in the absence of any antibody.

[0261] “Antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis” (“ADCP”) refers to a mechanism of elimination of antibody-coated target cells by internalization by phagocytic cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. ADCP may be evaluated by using monocyte-derived macrophages as effector cells and cells that express the protein the antibody binds to as target cells also engineered to express GFP or another labeled molecule. In an exemplary assay, effector:target cell ratio may be for example 4:1. Effector cells may be incubated with target -60- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) cells for 4 hours with or without the antibody of the invention. After incubation, cells may be detached using accutase. Macrophages may be identified with anti-CD11b and anti-CD14 antibodies coupled to a fluorescent label, and percent phagocytosis may be determined based on % GFP fluorescence in the CD11+CD14+macrophages using standard methods.

[0262] “Complement-dependent cytotoxicity”, or “CDC”, refers to a mechanism for inducing cell death in which the Fc effector domain of a target-bound antibody binds and activates complement component C1q which in turn activates the complement cascade leading to target cell death. Activation of complement may also result in deposition of complement components on the target cell surface that facilitate CDC by binding complement receptors (e.g., CR3) on leukocytes. CDC of cells may be measured for example by plating Daudi cells at 1×105cells / well (50 μL / well) in RPMI-B (RPMI supplemented with 1% BSA), adding 50 μL of test antibodies to the wells at final concentration between 0-100 μg / mL, incubating the reaction for 15 min at room temperature, adding 11 μL of pooled human serum to the wells, and incubation the reaction for 45 min at 37° C. Percentage (%) lysed cells may be detected as % propidium iodide stained cells in FACS assay using standard methods.

[0263] Binding of the antibody to Fc^R or FcRn may be assessed on cells engineered to express each receptor using flow cytometry. In an exemplary binding assay, 2x105cells per well are seeded in 96-well plate and blocked in BSA Stain Buffer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, USA) for 30 min at 4°C. Cells are incubated with a test antibody on ice for 1.5 hour at 4°C. After being washed twice with BSA stain buffer, the cells are incubated with R-PE labeled anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories) for 45 min at 4°C. The cells are washed twice in stain buffer and then resuspended in 150 μL of Stain Buffer containing 1:200 diluted DRAQ7 live / dead stain (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA). PE and DRAQ7 signals of the stained cells are detected by Miltenyi MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, USA) using B2 and B4 channel, respectively. Live cells are gated on DRAQ7 exclusion and the geometric mean fluorescence signals are determined for at least 10,000 live events collected. FlowJo software (Tree Star) is used for analysis. Data is plotted as the logarithm of antibody concentration versus mean fluorescence signals. Nonlinear regression analysis is performed.

[0333] In some embodiments, prior to the administration of CAR-T cells, subjects may be administered a conditioning regimen.

[0334] Patients undergoing a CAR-T cell therapy may be prepared with a so- called conditioning regimen that can suppress the patient’s immune system and improve the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy (Blood (2019) 133 (17): 1799–1800).

[0335] The intensity of conventional conditioning regimens can vary significantly. Description of the regimens can refer to genotoxic or non-genotoxic regimens, which may overlap with reference to myeloablative or non-myeloablative regimens. See, for example, Bacigalupo et al. (2009) Biol Blood Marrow Transplant.15(12):1628-1633, herein specifically incorporated by reference.

[0336] Myeloablative conditioning regimens are combination of agents expected to produce profound pancytopenia and myeloablation within 1-3 weeks from administration; pancytopenia is long lasting, usually irreversible and in most instances fatal, unless hematopoiesis is restored by hemopoietic stem cell infusion. Examples include total body irradiation and / or administration of high doses of alkylating agents; busulfan, melphalan, cyclophosphamide; etc.

[0337] Non-myeloablative conditioning regiments typically cause minimal cytopenia, and little early toxicity, but are immunosuppressive to the extent that, when followed by administration of an effective dose of HSPC, will result in engraftment of donor lympho- hemopoietic stem cells.

[0338] In certain embodiments the conditioning regimens provided herein are non- myeloablative. -77- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0384] In some embodiments, extramedullary plasmacytomas may be documented by clinical examination or MRI. In some embodiments, if there was no contraindication to the use of IV contrast, extramedullary plasmacytomas may be documented by CT scan. In some embodiments, extramedullary plasmacytomas may be documented by a fusion of positron emission tomography (PET) and CT scans if the CT component is of sufficient diagnostic quality. In some embodiments, assessment of measurable sites of extramedullary disease may be performed, measured, or evaluated locally every 4 weeks for subjects until development of confirmed CR or confirmed disease progression. In some embodiments, evaluation of extramedullary plasmacytomas may be done every 12 weeks.

[0385] In some embodiments, to qualify for VGPR or PR or MR, the sum of products of the perpendicular diameters of the existing extramedullary plasmacytomas may have decreased by over 90% or at least 50%, respectively. In some embodiments, to qualify for disease progression, either the sum of products of the perpendicular diameters of the existing extramedullary plasmacytomas must have increased by at least 50%, or the longest diameter of previous lesion >1 cm in short axis must have increased at least 50%, or a new -86- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) plasmacytoma must have developed. In some embodiments, to qualify for disease progression when not all existing extramedullary plasmacytomas are reported, the sum of products of the perpendicular diameters of the reported plasmacytomas had increased by at least 50%. In some embodiments, if the study treatment interferes with the immunofixation assay, CR may be defined as the disappearance of the original M-protein associated with multiple myeloma on immunofixation.

[0386] In some embodiments, a subject’s response to the method of treatment is assessed in terms of change in disease burden or tumor burden. Disease burden or tumor burden represents the type of measurable disease in the subject. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden may be assessed in terms of paraprotein level changes upon treatment. In some embodiments, the paraprotein is an M-protein in the serum. In some embodiments, the paraprotein is an M-protein in the serum. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed in terms of the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (dFLC). In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed in terms of the maximum paraprotein reduction from baseline, i.e., from prior to the administration of the CAR-T cells. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed at a median follow-up time of greater than or equal to 28 days following the administration of CAR-T cells. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed at a median follow-up time of greater than or equal to 1 month following the administration of CAR-T cells. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed at a median follow-up time of greater than or equal to 3 months following the administration of CAR-T cells. In some embodiments, the change in tumor burden is assessed at a median follow-up time of greater than or equal to 6 months following the administration of CAR-T cells.

EXAMPLES

[0392] The following examples are provided to further describe some of the aspects and embodiments disclosed herein. The examples are intended to illustrate, not to limit, the disclosed aspects or embodiments. Example 1: Ciltacabtagene and Teclistamab

[0393] B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA, also known as CD269 and TNFRSF17) is a 20 kilodalton, type III membrane protein that is part of the tumor necrosis receptor superfamily. BCMA is a cell surface antigen that is predominantly expressed in B-lineage cells at high levels. FIG.2 shows the expression of BCMA on various immune-derived cells. Comparative -107- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) studies have shown a lack of BCMA in most normal tissues and absence of expression on CD34-positive hematopoietic stem cells. BCMA binds 2 ligands that induce B cell proliferation and plays a critical role in B cell maturation and subsequent differentiation into plasma cells. The selective expression and the biological importance for the proliferation and survival of myeloma cells makes BCMA a promising target for CAR-T based immunotherapy.

[0394] Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (also known as cilta-cel) is an autologous chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy that targets BCMA. The ciltacabtagene autoleucel chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprises to BCMA-targeting VHH domains designed to confer avidity. A map of the construct is depicted in FIG.3 and a schematic of the CAR-T cell production is shown in FIG.4. Ciltacabtagene autoleucel includes a VHH domain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 102 and a VHH domain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 104.

[0395] Anti-BCMA / anti-CD3 antibody JNJ-64007957 (referred to as teclistamab or JNJ- 957) (described in WO2017031104A1) and daratumumab were made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals. CNTO7008 (CD3xnull), BC3B4 (BCMAxnull) and 3930 (IgG isotype control), all made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, were used as control antibodies.

[0396] Talquetamab is a novel, humanized IgG4 bispecific antibody designed to target the CD3 receptor complex on T-cells and GPRC5D-expressing multiple myeloma cells, resulting in T-cell activation and subsequent lysis of GPRC5D-expressing cells. As a stable bispecific IgG molecule generated through controlled fragment antigen binding arm exchange following the method reported by Labrijn et al (2013), talquetamab is able to draw T-cells in close proximity to myeloma cells, without regard to T-cell receptor specificity or reliance on major histocompatibility complex Class 1 molecules on the surface of antigen presenting cells for activation, leading to activation of T-cells and subsequent lysis of GPRC5D-expressing cells. Multiple studies are ongoing and planned to evaluate talquetamab in combinations and to evaluate it in earlier lines of therapy. Talquetamab comprises a CD3 binding arm CD3B219 and a GPRC5d binding arm GC5B596, the amino acid sequences of which are shown in Table 7A and Table 7B, respectively.

[0397] Teclistamab is a full-size, IgG4-PAA bispecific antibody that targets the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and BCMA, which is expressed on the surface of malignant multiple myeloma B lineage cells, as well as late-stage B cells and plasma cells. With its dual binding sites, teclistamab is able to draw CD3+ T-cells in close proximity to -108- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) BCMA+ cells, resulting in T-cell activation and subsequent lysis of BCMA+ cells which is mediated by secreted perforin and various granzymes stored in the secretory vesicles of cytotoxic T-cells. This effect occurs without regard to T-cell receptor specificity or reliance on MHC Class 1 molecules on the surface of antigen presenting cells for activation, leading to cell death of the BCMA+ cells. Multiple studies are ongoing and planned to evaluate teclistamab in combinations and to evaluate it in earlier lines of therapy. Teclistamab comprises a BCMA binding arm BCMB69 and a CD3 binding arm CD3B219, the amino acid sequences of which are shown in Table 13A and Table 13B, respectively.

[0398] Daratumumab is a first-in-class, human IgG1ĸ mAb that binds with high affinity to CD38-expressing cells, inducing tumor cell death through diverse mechanisms of immune- mediated actions CDC, ADCC, and ADCP, as well as induction of apoptosis and modulation of CD38 enzyme activities. CD38 is overexpressed on myeloma cells but is expressed at relatively low levels on normal lymphoid and myeloid cells and in some tissues of non- hematopoietic origin, making it a relevant target for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). Example 2: Considerations for optimal sequencing and / or combination of CAR-T and CD3 Bispecifics

[0399] Recent advancements in multiple myeloma therapy have shown significant clinical responses in their respective trials. Carvykti™ (cilta-cel) was approved in February 2022 with a 97.9% response rate as observed in CARTITUDE-1 and a median duration of response about 21.8 months. Tecvayli® (teclistamab) was approved in October 2022, with a 63% overall response rate (ORR) registered in the MajesTEC-1 trial and a median response duration of approximately 22 months. Talvey™ (talquetamab) was approved in August 2022 and saw a response rate of 73% in the MonumenTAL-1 trial with the median response duration for the .4mg / kg group measuring at 9.5 months.

[0400] These drugs show a similarity in their mode of action (MOA), functioning through direct cytotoxicity (examples include perforin, granzyme, Fas / FasL) and cytokine production (which include agents like IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2, etc.). This group of drugs, as a franchise, addresses various multiple myeloma therapy lines and patient segments.

[0401] To optimize patient outcomes with ciltacabtagene autoleucel, it is hypothesized that T cell fitness and CAR-T outcomes are influenced by previous exposure to bispecific T cell redirectors. This informs an intervention strategy that may involve therapy sequencing -109- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) (for instance, administering ciltacabtagene autoleucel earlier and / or performing aphaeresis prior to Tec / Tal and suchlike), screening patients for T cell fitness and addressing this prior to aphaeresis, and potentially aiming for synergy through adjuvant / combination therapies as opposed to rudimentary sequential therapies. Still, the sequencing and / or combination of CAR-T and CD3 bispecifics, specifically ciltacabtagene autoleucel, teclistamab, and talquetamab, calls for careful considerations. One of the most crucial aspects to consider is whether treating with one or more of these drugs affects the potential for subsequent treatment with another. To decide an optimal course of action, considerations of safety, efficacy, and timing need to be factored into whether these drugs are treated together or in close succession. This involves seeking ways to enhance efficacy by combining or sequencing these drugs without compromising safety.

[0402] Clinical data, based on the CARTITUDE-1 study, indicates that ciltacabtagene autoleucel patients previously treated with BCMA targeted bispecifics show responses far below expectations. T-cell analyses from these patients exhibit a decreased CD4:CD8 ratio and increase in CD38 expression, potentially indicating a lower level of “fitness”. Preclinical data, too, suggests that exposure to bispecifics may reduce T cell “fitness.” However, preclinical data also suggests that CAR-T can enhance bispecific responses. Thus, it is vital to take a closer look at how prior exposure to bispecific antibodies influences CAR-T cell manufacturing and function. The following section offers an examination of in vitro assessments regarding this interplay, to elucidate the potential effects and thus, enhance therapeutic strategies in multiple myeloma treatment. Example 3: Effect of Prior Exposure of Bispecific Antibodies to CAR-T Cell Manufacturing and Function

[0403] Target cell-mediated T cell bispecific activation influences T cell fitness. As an explanation of this effect, it was hypothesized that extended activation could potentially lead to alterations in T cell fitness within the apheresis material, resulting in sub-optimum CAR-T manufacturing and compromised efficacy. To study this, the effects of prior exposure to T cell redirectors, or bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) on CAR-T manufacturing and functionality were examined through in vitro assessments.

[0404] An experiment was performed to assess the impact of prior exposure to T cell redirectors on the manufacturing and functionality of CAR-T cells. T cells from multiple myeloma patients were exposed to bispecific T cell engagers, either talquetamab or -110- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) teclistamab, for 12 days in vitro. Results depicted in FIG.5 indicate that T cells pre-exposed to bispecifics saw a decrease in CD28+ cells, while also leading to an increase in the proportion of effector memory population. These T cells were subsequently processed through ciltacabtagene autoleucel manufacturing. Results depicted in FIG.6 indicate that such pre-exposure also negatively impacted CAR-T production, reducing the amount of CAR-T drug product that could be manufactured, subsequently decreasing the level of CAR positivity within said drug product. Finally, the resulting CAR-T cells were subjected to functional analysis to evaluate their effectiveness. FIGS.7A-7B depict that CAR-T cells derived from these pre-exposed cells yielded reduced cytotoxicity and cytokine production when compared to control groups.

[0405] Collectively, these results indicate that T cells with prior exposure to teclistamab / talquetamab bispecifics show decreased CD28 expression as well as an enriched fraction of Effector memory cells. This means that teclistamab or talquetamab pretreatment decreases CAR-T manufacturing efficacy. Further, the noted reduction in cytokine production and killing efficacy, as well as the reduced CAR+ expansion indicates that CAR-T made from teclistamab and / or talquetamab pre-treated T cells exhibit decreased functionality. Overall, treatment with bispecifics before ciltacabtagene autoleucel may hinder T cell fitness, reduce CAR-T production, and limit CAR-T functionality. Thus, these results indicate that it may be best to perform apheresis before administering bispecific treatment to achieve optimal CAR-T production and functionality.

[0406] The CARTITUDE-2 study (MMY2003), specifically with respect to Cohort C, focused on T cell fitness in patients who had previous exposure to BCMA targeted therapy. Patients were monitored for a median duration of 18 months, ranging from 0.6 to 22.7 months. Among these, 13 patients had previously undergone BCMA antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) therapy and seven had undergone bispecific antibody (BsAb) therapy. One patient from the ADC group had prior exposure to BsAb therapy. Approximately 3% of the patients (comprising six individuals) had anti-BCMA therapy as their last line of therapy (LOT), which included four patients from the ADC group and two from the BsAb group.

[0407] Baseline patient characteristics were first assessed: the median age was 62.5 years (range 44-81 years); 15% had high-risk cytogenetics (all del17p); 25% had extramedullary -111- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) disease; patients had previously received a median of 8 LOTs (ranging between 4 and 13); and 90% were diagnosed as anti-BCMA refractory. The median time from the last anti- BCMA treatment to ciltacabtagene autoleucel infusion was 180 days (range, 62-749 days) for ADC-exposed patients and 227 days (range, 84-329 days) for BsAb-exposed patients. The median ciltacabtagene autoleucel dose that was administered was 0.61 x 10^6 CAR viable T cells / kg (range between 0.21 x 10^6 – 0.83 x 10^6). Notably, one patient received a dose below the target level. Patients treated with BCMA ADC and BsAbs demonstrated comparable baseline demographics and disease characteristics.

[0408] The data from MMY2003 (cohort C) was compared against data from patients enrolled in the CARTITUDE-1 (MMY2001) study. The levels of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils in peripheral blood were found to be comparable between the ADC and BsAb groups, as indicated in the MMY2001 and MMY2003 (Cohort C) studies (FIG.8). Patients with prior BsAb exposure displayed a lower CD4:CD8 ratio at apheresis (FIG.9). These patients also exhibited lower CD4+ T cell count in the peripheral blood, while CD8+ T cell counts remained similar to patients without BsAb exposure (FIG.9). Patients from the MMY2001 study showed similar CD4 and CD8 counts as compared to the ADC group. The observed decrease in CD4+ cells and the CD4:CD8 ratio points toward potentially suboptimal T cell fitness. Patients with prior BsAb exposure had higher levels of circulating natural killer (NK) compared to the ADC and MMY2001 groups, while showing a comparable T cell count (FIG.10). The expression of CD38 in CD4+ / CD8+ T cells was shown to be associated with a decrease in CD4+ T cells in cellular immunity; this expression was found to negatively correlate with treatment-free survival in male chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients (FIG.11). These results align with the observed increase in CD38+ T cells following teclistamab treatment (MajesTEC-1 study). See Deeksha et al., ASH 2003. While the ADC group also showed elevated CD38+ T cells, it remains unclear whether this effect is a consequence of BCMA targeting therapies due to a lack of specific reports on the issue. Finally, there was no substantial difference in baseline tumor burden and effector-to- target (E:T) ratio between the ADC and BsAb groups, according to (FIG.12).

[0409] To summarize, patients previously exposed to BsAb exhibited higher levels of NK cells, lower levels of CD4+ T cells, and a lower CD4:CD8 ratio, potentially pointing towards suboptimal T cell fitness. No difference was found in lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils in peripheral blood between patients with prior exposure to targeted ADC vs. BsAb or none of the two before ciltacabtagene autoleucel administration. Furthermore, these -112- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) patients showed similar levels of CD25+, CD28+ T cells, and T cell memory subsets but higher levels of CD38+ T cells compared to those in the ADC group. Comparing ADC and BsAb groups, no significant difference was found in baseline tumor burden (sBCMA) or E:T ratio (Cmax(CAR-T) / sBCMA), and no substantial difference was detected in baseline pro- inflammatory cytokines. Generally, the results, as depicted in FIG.13, demonstrated that the efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel was compromised in patients previously treated with BCMA bispecific antibodies (BsAb), compared to those exposed to BCMA antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) therapies.

[0410] Overall, efficacy of ciltacabtagene autoleucel in patients with prior BCMA BsAb is compromised compared to prior BCMA ADC therapies or no BCMA directed therapy. These results support the preclinical data presented in Example 3 and further suggest that clinical efficacy may be compromised in ciltacabtagene autoleucel patients previously treated with bispecifics. Example 5: Preclinical Data Supporting Combinations of Ciltacabtagene autoleucel with Talquetamab

[0411] Preclinical research was conducted to study the effects of administering teclistamab or talquetamab simultaneously with or after the administration of ciltacabtagene autoleucel, assessing whether their application in this order augments or diminishes the therapeutic efficacy of the individual treatments. Methodologically, the study involved conducting cytotoxicity assays and cytokine profiling on ciltacabtagene autoleucel, both in isolation and in conjunction with teclistamab and talquetamab. The primary aim of these assays was to evaluate the relative efficacy of the different treatment combinations and to ascertain the survival rates of T cells under varying conditions. These approaches aimed to help elucidate the therapeutic viability of the combination, specifically focused on addressing treatment scenarios envisioned in the aMMbition study design, as presented in Example 7, below.

[0412] Suboptimal Quantity of CAR-T can Medicate Enhanced Killing via Bispecific Engagement

[0413] First, an assay was designed to utilize Incucyte-based spheroid formation to provide real-time kinetic data on the cytotoxic effects of CAR-T cell therapy. This assay began on Day 0 with the seeding of Incucyte® NucLight Green H929 cells into uncoated round-bottom wells. During the initial three days, these cells proliferated and coalesced to -113- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) form spheroid structures. On Day 3, bispecific antibodies were introduced into the wells. This was followed by the addition of T cells, which were genetically modified to express CARs, enabling the targeted destruction of the cancer cell spheroids. MOCK cells were used as a comparator and as effectors in the bispecific killing assay; these cells were activated and expanded according to the manufacturing protocol with the exception that lentiviral transduction was not performed.

[0414] Comparisons were then made between untreated spheroids and those treated with the combination of CAR-T cells and bispecific antibodies. FIGS.14A-14B depict the change in relative spheroid size over time following T cell addition, at varying concentrations of talquetamab, with FIG.14A comparing the responses of MOCK cells and FIG.14B comparing the responses of CAR-T cells. FIG.14C depicts an Area Under the Curve (AUC) analysis, depicting the responses of MOCK cells against CAR-T cells over a log-transformed range of bispecific antibody concentrations. The findings indicate a marked difference in the potency of bispecific engagement in the presence of CAR-T cells (EC50 = 0.0014) as compared to MOCK cells (EC50 = 0.050), underscoring an enhanced effect of the bispecific antibodies when used in tandem with CAR-T cells.

[0415] Overall, these results show that even relatively low quantities of CAR-T cells can significantly bolster the killing of cancer cells when combined with bispecific antibodies. Further, coculturing ciltacabtagene autoleucel with teclistamab or talquetamab results in greater in vitro killing capacity, such that maximal killing can be achieved via a combination of doses that provide no monotherapeutic efficacy. This observation implies a synergistic interaction between these therapeutic agents, potentially enabling a greater efficacy of CAR- T cell therapy. Similar results were observed, though not depicted in the figures, with teclistamab.

[0416] Next, experiments were performed to determine the minimum threshold of CAR positivity required for achieving the desired therapeutic effect in CAR-T cell treatments. Flow cytometry was performed to differentiate between various T cell populations: MOCK cells, double positive (DP) T cells expressing both CD4 and CD8, and T cells enriched used biotinylated BCMA and anti-biotin magnetic beads.

[0417] FIG.15A depicts flow cytometry plots, illustrating the proportion of CAR-positive cells in relation to the total T cell population. FIG.15B presents the percentage of CAR- positive cells and the absolute numbers of both T cells and CAR-positive T cells at different dilution levels. Overall, the results indicate that even a diluted presence of CAR-positive T -114- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) cells within a population of non-modified cells can amplify the cytotoxic effect when engaged by bispecific antibodies. This supports the emerging understanding that bispecific antibodies can lower the threshold of CAR-T cells needed to observe a therapeutic effect. FIG.16 depicts the relationship between the log concentration of talquetamab and the AUC, which is indicative of the overall effect of the drug over time. Each curve on the graph corresponds to a different dilution of CAR positive T cells, showing that as the proportion of CAR-positive T cells decreases, the AUC generally decreases, indicating a lesser effect. FIG. 17A compares the half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values for each dilution level of CAR-positive T cells while FIG.17B compares the fold reduction in EC50 for each dilution level. The results indicate that although the magnitude of the cytotoxic effect decreases with lower levels of CAR-positive T cells, even as few as 1% of remaining CAR- positive cells can significantly enhance the killing effect when engaged by talquetamab, further suggesting that talquetamab retain substantial therapeutic efficacy across a range of CAR-T cell concentrations.

[0418] Activation of CAR- Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment

[0419] CAR-T cell therapy has been shown to exert a wider therapeutic impact beyond their direct cytolytic activity by recruiting and activating a diverse array of immune effector cells. Evidence from post-infusion biopsies of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel, a CAR-T cell therapy, supports the hypothesis that CAR-T cells, upon engagement with the target antigen on DLBCL cells, can trigger an activation cascade. See JCI Insight, June 18, 5(12), 3134612. Latent T cells recognize the CD19 antigen on DLBCL cells, leading to their transformation into CAR-T cells. Once activated, these CAR-T cells release interferon gamma (IFN-γ). This release activates macrophages and induces activation of non-CAR T cells, which subsequently exhibit markers such as PD1, Ki67, and Granzyme B (GsmB), signaling their readiness to participate in the immune response. In sum, this upregulation implies that CAR-cell cell infusion not only directly targets cancer cells but also broadly primes the immune system, potentially enhancing the overall antitumor response.

[0420] Experiments were conducted to evaluate the activation and proliferation of CAR- negative (CAR-) T cells in the presence of CAR-positive (CAR+) T cells and the impact of talquetamab on the process. FIGS.18A-18B provide an analysis of CD25 Mean Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) on both CD4 and CD8 T cells after 48 hours, in relation to the log concentration of talquetamab. CD25 is a subunit of the IL-2 receptor, and its upregulation is a -115- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) marker of T cell activation. The graphs depict three curves each, representing MOCK cells (T cells without CAR construct), CAR- cells (T cells without the CAR construct in the drug product sample), and CAR+ cells (T cells with the CAR construct in the drug product sample). The MFI levels of CD25 increase with the concentration of talquetamab, indicating heightened T cell activation. FIG.18C depicts T cell expansion over five days, again in relation to the log concentration of talquetamab. These results indicate that the presence of talquetamab facilitates the early activation and expansion of CAR- T cells. This finding is significant as it indicates a bispecific antibody-mediated cross-talk between CAR+ and CAR- T cells, leading to an amplified immune response against the tumor cells. Moreover, while both CAR- and CAR+ cells expand, the presence of the bispecific antibody appears necessary for the expansion of CAR- cells in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that talquetamab may play a crucial role in the broader activation of the immune system, beyond the direct effects of CAR-T cell therapy.

[0421] Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of bispecific antibodies on the expression of inflammatory cytokines. FIGS.19A-19B depict the concentration of interferon- gamma (IFN-γ), a mediator in the immune response against tumors, against the logarithmic concentration of talquetamab. FIG.19A, representing the 48-hour time point, demonstrates a clear dose-response relationship, with increasing talquetamab levels correlating to a higher expression of IFN-γ, notably more pronounced in the sample containing the CAR-T drug product. At the 120-hour mark, as depicted in FIG.19B, the IFN-γ levels remained elevated in the presence of talquetamab, with the CAR-T drug product continuing to exhibit a higher cytokine expression compared to the MOCK T cells. These results indicate the potential of bispecific antibodies to enhance cytokine responses beyond the levels typically observed with single-agent therapy, suggesting that bispecific antibodies like talquetamab not only engage tumor cells directly but also amplify the release of cytokines, further stimulating the immune system. Additional results not depicted indicate that similar trends were observed with other cytokines, such as IL-2, TNF-α, and IL-13, pointing to a more extensive influence of bispecific antibody treatment on the cytokine environment within the tumor microenvironment.

[0422] There exist two primary pathways by which BCMA CAR-T cells mediate the destruction of cancer cells: 1) directing targeting, or redirected lysis of Tumor-Associated Antigen (TAA) positive target cells and 2) indirect effects, or bystander lysis of TAA- negative cells. See pLoS One.2017; 12(8): e1083390. Concerning the direct targeting -116- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) pathway, CAR-T cells, engineered to target specific Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) on the surface of cancer cells, bind to these antigens via their CARs. Upon engagement, the CAR-T cells become activated and release cytotoxic molecules, such as IFN-γ and TNF-α. These molecules induce apoptosis in the target cells. Furthermore, the interaction between the CAR-T cell and the cancer cell upregulates certain molecules on the T cell surface, specifically the Fas ligand, which is involved in the strengthening the cell-to-cell interaction and enhancing the cytotoxic response. CAR-T cells can also indirectly cause the death of neighboring cancer cells that do not express the targeted antigen (TAA-negative). This occurs through the interaction of adhesion molecules, specifically ICAM-1 on the cancer cells and LFA-1 on the T cells, and the Fas / Fas Ligand pathway, which can trigger pseudo-synapse, referring to the formation of an immune synapse-like structure that facilitates cell killing without the TAA being present on the bystander cell.

[0423] In vitro experiments were conducted to study the impact of a suboptimal dose of anti-BCMA CAR-T cells on the expression of cell adhesion molecules and cell death receptors in H929 cells. Incucyte ® NucLight Green H929 cells were plated in an uncoated round-bottom well until they formed into a spheroid structure on Day 3, at which time T cells were added to the culture. FIG.20 depicts expression levels of two specific markers at 24- and 48-hours post T cell addition: the Fas ligand and the CD54 molecule (also known as ICAM-1), an intercellular adhesion molecule. The graphs indicate that both Fas and CD54 expression levels were significantly higher in the presence of CAR-T cells compared to the MOCK and no treatment controls. These results indicate that the presence of CAR-T cells, even at suboptimal doses, leads to the upregulation of markers associated with cell susceptibility to killing and bystander T cell killing. This suggests that suboptimal doses of CAR-T cells can alter the tumor microenvironment in a manner that increases the susceptibility of cancer cells to immune-mediated killing, thereby potentially enhancing the overall efficacy of the therapy.

[0424] Summary

[0425] To summarize, these results indicate that both teclistamab and talquetamab have demonstrated an ability to enhance the cytotoxicity of the CAR-T cell drug product. The level of CAR-positive T cell necessary for effective monotherapy was found to be significantly lower than the threshold required to see notable increase in cytokine levels. This implies that even low concentrations of CAR+ cells can exert a substantial therapeutic impact. No notable adverse or beneficial effects were observed on the number or activation status of CAR- -117- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) positive cells when combined with the bispecific antibodies. Additionally, the presence of CAR-positive cells in the culture environment was shown to increase the vulnerability of tumor cells to killing by CAR-negative cells, suggesting a synergistic interaction. Finally, an increase in the activation of CAR-T cells and the upregulation of cell adhesion molecules like ICAM-1 and death receptors, such as Fas, on target cells were observed. Overall, bispecific antibodies demonstrate a potential to amplify the cytokine response beyond that typically seen with single-agent therapy, indicating that a combination of these agents with CAR-T cells could offer a more dynamic and potent therapeutic approach against multiple myeloma. Overall, these results indicate that bispecifics may synergistically enhance tumor cell killing, outpacing either monotherapy. Combining these modalities in patients with high disease burden and suboptimal drug product attributes could further enhance curative potential. Example 6: Preclinical Data Supporting Combinations of Ciltacabtagene autoleucel with Dara

[0426] The effect of a therapeutic combination of daratumumab and ciltacabtagene autoleucel on multiple myeloma (MM) therapy was investigated. Daratumumab is included in the standard of care (SOC) for MM treatment and is also being considered as a potential bridging and maintenance therapy in conjunction with ciltacabtagene autoleucel. Understanding the interactions between Daratumumab and ciltacabtagene autoleucel is critical for the design of effective treatment strategies.

[0427] To this end, a set of in vitro experiments were employed to evaluate the impact of the daratumumab / ciltacabtagene autoleucel combination on myeloma cells, as well as on chimeric antigen receptor-positive and negative (CAR+ / -) T cells. Flow cytometry was utilized as an analytical technique to discern the effects.

[0428] Three specific objectives formed the basis of this investigation:

[0429] Determination of any synergistic benefit of combining daratumumab with ciltacabtagene autoleucel.

[0430] Assessment of whether daratumumab exerts a direct cytotoxic effect on CAR T- cells.

[0431] Evaluation of the influence of daratumumab on the expansion of CAR+ T cells.

[0432] These objectives aimed to address whether the combination of daratumumab with ciltacabtagene autoleucel could enhance the current SOC for MM and inform the design of novel treatment regimens. -118- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1)

[0433] First, NK cells and T cells were purified from a selected pool of healthy donors. CAR-T cells were then generated through the process of LCAR lentivirus transduction in a controlled laboratory setting.

[0434] Prior to initiation of the assay, the frequencies of CAR expression among T cells from the various donors were equalized to ensure consistency across the experimental conditions. The target myeloma cells were then co-cultured with either CAR-T cells alone or in conjunction with NK cells and daratumumab, which was administered at a concentration of 6.45 nM, equivalent to 1 µg / mL, representing a 320-fold higher dose than EC50. The co- cultures were sustained over durations of 7 or 14 days, with the effector to target cell ratio maintained at 5:0.4:1, correlating to NK cells, CAR+ T cells, and target myeloma cells respectively.

[0435] Flow cytometry was employed to evaluate the cytotoxic impact on myeloma cells and to conduct a detailed phenotypic characterization of both T and NK cells. The Cytokine Bead Array (CBA) method was utilized for an in-depth analysis of the secreted cytokines.

[0436] FIG.21A depicts the effect sizes for the Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cells and Daratumumab combination, with the direction of the effects and the maximum R p- values being highlighted in a color-coded fashion, utilizing a stratified null model for statistical analysis.

[0437] FIG.21B provides a quantitative assessment of myeloma cell counts over a period of 7 days. It was observed that the combination of CAR-T cells with daratumumab significantly enhanced the clearance of myeloma cells, with a noticeable effect on day 1 and day 2 post-treatment, as compared to the CAR-T cells alone. The myeloma cell counts are indicated by live CD38+CD138+ cells in the culture, with the number of viable myeloma cells decreasing in the presence of the combined therapy. The data underscore the enhanced efficacy of the combination therapy in the early stages of treatment, suggesting a potential for improved therapeutic outcomes in the context of myeloma management.

[0438] Next, CAR+ T cells were subjected to expansion in the presence of daratumumab. The data demonstrate that CAR+ T cells, inclusive of both CD4+ and CD8+ subpopulations, were capable of expansion when treated with daratumumab; however, a lower recovery rate was observed in comparison to the control group without daratumumab.

[0439] FIG.22 depicts bar graphs that compare the proliferation of CAR+CD4+ and CAR+CD8+ T cells over a 7-day period with and without daratumumab treatment. The graphs illustrate that while CAR+CD4+ and CAR+CD8+ T cells exhibited growth under both -119- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) conditions, the presence of Daratumumab was associated with reduced expansion rates of these T cells. Conversely, the CAR-negative CD8+ T cells (CAR-CD8+) experienced an increase in expansion following exposure to Daratumumab. This finding suggests a differential impact of Daratumumab on CAR+ and CAR- T cell subpopulations, with the latter showing a more robust expansion in response to the monoclonal antibody.

[0440] Additional data indicates that the combination of Daratumumab with CAR+ T cells results in a reduction of cells expressing the CD38 marker. Over a 7-day period, both CAR+CD4+CD38+ and CAR+CD8+CD38+ T cell populations were quantified to assess the effect of daratumumab on cell expansion. FIG.23 shows the counts of live CD38+ cells among both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets when cultured alone (denoted as CART) or in combination with daratumumab (denoted as CART+Dara). It is observed that the presence of daratumumab leads to a significant decrease in the expansion of CD38+ expressing CAR+ cells across both T cell subsets. This reduction in cell counts is noted to be specific to the CAR+ cells, as opposed to any reduction in the CAR-negative (CAR-) cells. This reduction is restricted to the cells expressing the CD38 antigen, which is a target of the daratumumab monoclonal antibody. The data suggest that daratumumab selectively impacts the expansion of CD38+ expressing CAR+ cells, potentially due to the antibody's mechanism of action which includes direct antitumor activity and immunomodulatory effects through the depletion of CD38+ immune cells.

[0441] A reduction in exhaustion marker expression on CAR+ T cells was observed upon the addition of daratumumab to a Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (CAR-T) treatment regimen. The interactions between co-stimulatory and inhibitory receptors, which are known to regulate T cell responses, were assessed by measuring the cell counts of exhausted CAR+ T cells across several exhaustion markers.

[0442] Exhaustion markers including PD-1, LAG3, and BTLA were quantified on both CD4+ and CD8+ CAR+ T cell populations over a time course. Bar graphs presented in FIG. 24 display the cell counts of CAR+ / CD4+ and CAR+ / CD8+ T cells expressing each of these exhaustion markers individually, as well as combinations thereof. The counts were measured when the CAR+ T cells were cultured alone (indicated as CART) and in combination with daratumumab (indicated as CART+Dara).

[0443] A reduction in the counts of exhausted cells was observed in the CAR+ populations treated with the combination of daratumumab and ciltacabtagene autoleucel when compared to treatment with CAR-T cells alone. This effect was specific to the CAR+ cells, as no -120- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) change was reported in the CAR- exhausted cells, although the data for the latter were not shown on the slide. This finding indicates that the addition of daratumumab to the ciltacabtagene autoleucel regimen has a modulatory effect on the exhaustion phenotype of CAR+ T cells, which could potentially improve the functional capacity and persistence of CAR-T cells in therapeutic applications.

[0444] The effects of daratumumab treatment on regulatory T cells (Tregs) expressing CD38 within a population of CAR+ cells were next evaluated. The experiment analyzed the frequency of Tregs exhibiting the CD38+ phenotype in the context of CAR+ cells over a period of seven days.

[0445] The data depicted in the box plots as presented in FIG.25 depict the percentage of CAR+ / CD4+ / CD127- / CD25+ / CD38+ Tregs on days 0, 1, 2, 4, and 7, comparing the frequencies between samples treated solely with CAR-T cells (CART) and those treated with a combination of CAR-T cells and daratumumab (CART+Dara). Similarly, the frequencies of CAR- / CD4+ / CD127- / CD25+ / CD38+ Tregs were measured to determine the influence of daratumumab on the non-genetically modified T cell subset within the same time frame. Results showed a reduction in the proportion of CD38+ Tregs in the CAR+ cell population by day 7 when daratumumab was added to the culture. This decrease was not observed in the CAR- T cell population, suggesting that the presence of daratumumab specifically influences the immunosuppressive phenotype within the genetically modified T cell subset. The findings imply that daratumumab, when combined with CAR-T cell therapy, may mitigate the immunosuppressive effects commonly attributed to Tregs in the tumor microenvironment, potentially enhancing the efficacy of CAR-T cell-mediated anti-tumor responses. By day 7, daratumumab treatment results in a decreased frequency of CD38+ Tregs-like phenotype within the CAR+ cell milieu.

[0446] Another experiment assessed whether a reduction in early NK cell counts would affect the cytotoxic activity when used in conjunction with the cilta+dara combination therapy. Additionally, the study evaluated changes in activation markers, particularly CD69, and the expression of exhaustion markers on NK cells. Quantitative analyses were carried out over a specified time course to measure the counts of early, mature, and terminal NK cell populations in samples treated with daratumumab alone and in combination with Ciltacabtagene autoleucel (CART+Dara). The results, as depicted in FIG.26, demonstrated that, although there was a decrease in NK cell counts with increasing exposure to daratumumab, this did not compromise the cytotoxic activity of the remaining cells. The -121- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) capability of the remaining peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) fraction to mediate Antibody-Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC), a mechanism of action for daratumumab, was retained.

[0447] This experiment provided evidence that the daratumumab and ciltacabtagene autoleucel combination therapy could reduce early NK cell numbers without affecting the cytotoxic potential of the remaining cells. This was accompanied by increased expression of the activation marker CD69 and reduced expression of exhaustion markers, suggesting sustained NK cell functionality despite the reduction in cell numbers.

[0448] Conclusion

[0449] In sum, the results presented in this Example highlight the enhanced cytotoxicity against myeloma cells when ciltacabtagene autoleucel and daratumumab are used in conjunction. It was observed that the concurrent administration of both agents resulted in increased lysis of myeloma cells, indicative of a synergistic effect.

[0450] The results also present an initial decrease in the number of CAR-positive (CAR+) T-cells after treatment with daratumumab, followed by a lower recovery rate of these cells post-treatment. Furthermore, a reduction was reported in the population of CAR T-cells expressing the CD38 marker as well as in the number of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) that express CD38.

[0451] Notably, despite these changes, there was no observed alteration in the activation profile of the remaining T-cells. However, there was a reduction in the exhausted phenotype among the T-cell population, which suggests an improved functional status of T-cells.

[0452] In terms of cytokine production, the study reported a decrease in B-cell stimulating and proinflammatory cytokines, while anti-inflammatory cytokine levels were increased. This alteration in cytokine profile could have implications for the overall inflammatory environment and immune response regulation in the context of CAR T-cell therapy. Example 7: Combination Approach to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Optimal Sequencing of Bispecific Antibody-Daratumumab Combinations and Ciltacabtagene autoleucel Following DVRd Induction

[0453] Treatment for multiple myeloma (MM) has substantially improved over time and varies depending on the aggressiveness of the disease, underlying prognostic factors, physical condition of the patient, and existing co-morbidities, however MM is still an incurable disease. Transplant has been the standard of care for the younger and more fit MM patient, -122- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) but novel therapies now offer the potential for greater survival benefit with improved quality of life. T-cell engaging (TCE) therapeutics directed at novel targets such as BCMA and GPRC5D demonstrate high response rates and durability of responses even in patients with relapsed and refractory MM (RRMM) who have received multiple lines of therapy. Furthermore, TCE therapies offer the potential to reprogram the immune microenvironment in the bone marrow niche to restore immune function. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies replace a dysfunctional T-cell compartment with highly activated effector cells designed to recognize a tumor-associated surface target, achieving unprecedented therapeutic outcomes in the RRMM population. Despite the efficacy of these novel agents, there is a lack of knowledge to guide design of optimal combinations of these agents to achieve superior or even curative potential. Developing highly effective treatment strategies combining and sequencing ciltacabtagene autoleucel, teclistamab, talquetamab and daratumumab in the newly diagnosed patient may be able to achieve the curative goal rarely attained with transplant. This addresses a significant and critical unmet need for incorporating novel therapeutic options directed at alternative mechanisms of action that can better control the disease, provide deeper, more sustained responses, and yield better long-term outcomes including maintenance of HRQoL (Usmani 2016).

[0454] With the availability of these novel drugs, cure for the younger and more fit, newly diagnosed, standard risk patients may be an achievable goal. These immunotherapeutic modalities engage and modulate the endogenous immune response to achieve therapeutic benefit (Friedrich 2023; van de Donk 2018). Sequential combinations offer the potential to condition the tumor immune microenvironment for optimal efficacy of a subsequent immune- directed therapeutic agent to attain a synergistic effect capable of translating into a curative combination. Furthermore, cure implies a permanent remission after a fixed duration of therapy not requiring indefinite maintenance treatment.

[0455] This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability as well as to generate early efficacy data for 2 fixed-duration sequential combinations developed for use in newly diagnosed myeloma participants. This study focuses on the standard-risk population where integration of multiple immune-directed therapies around ciltacabtagene autoleucel should improve upon therapeutic efficacy rates achieved with ciltacabtagene autoleucel alone. Following a standard induction regimen consisting of DVRd, patients will undergo consolidation with one of 2 treatment combinations. Participants in cohort A will receive 4 cycles of Tal-D prior to ciltacabtagene autoleucel infusion to assess whether brief exposure to -123- 313215418v1Docket No.258199.091802 (JBI6871WOPCT1) a non-BCMA-targeting TCE can condition a more permissive tumor microenvironment for the subsequent introduction of ciltacabtagene autoleucel. Participants in cohort B will receive a consolidation plan beginning with ciltacabtagene autoleucel infusion and followed by up to 2 years of treatment consisting of brief 1-month pulses of alternating Tal-D and Tec-D with intervening 2-month treatment-free intervals testing the hypothesis that short interval exposure to TCE agents can perpetuate the anti-myeloma activity of ciltacabtagene autoleucel.
