Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to characterize safety of JNJ-68284528 and establish the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) (Phase 1b) and to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-68284528 (Phase 2).

Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial.   More info ...

Detailed Description:
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of JNJ-68284528. The study will include two phases. In Phase1b the study will enroll adults with multiple myeloma with interval assessments for potential dose escalation or de-escalation in subsequent participants. The dose selected at the completion of phase 1b will be used in Phase 2. Following consent, enrolled participants will undergo an apheresis procedure to collect cells for manufacture of investigational drug product (JNJ-68284528). Following manufacture of the drug product, participants will undergo lymphodepletion prior to infusion of JNJ-68284528. Participants will be followed for at least 2 years after study drug infusion, with long-term 15 year follow-up on a separate study. The study will evaluate safety, biomarkers, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic evaluations and efficacy.

    HRQoL will be assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) items. Subscale and single item scores are reported on a 0-100 scale with higher scores representing better global health status, better functioning, and worst symptoms.

A total utility score is reported based on the health status, ranging from 0 to 1, where higher values indicate better health utility. The visual analog scale ranges from 0 to 100 where higher values indicate better overall health status.

  17. Change from Baseline in Global Health Status Using PGIC Scale [ Time Frame: Baseline up to study completion (Minimum 2 years after JNJ-68284528 Infusion on Day 1) ]
    Global health status as measured by the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) scale in overall health. The PGIC is a single verbal rating scale ranging from 1 = a lot better now to 7 = a lot worse now.
