Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lenalidomide and bb2121Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients complete apheresis and proceed to lymphodepleting chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 and fludarabine 30mg/m2 for 3 consecutive days followed by the infusion of BCMA CAR T-cells at a target dose of 450 x106 cells. Maintenance lenalidomide, starting at 10mg a day for 21 days of a 28-day cycle will be initiated at a minimum of at least 30 days, but no later than 180 days after the CAR T-cell infusion and will continue until the patient reaches 12 months post CAR T-cell infusion and continue free of progression.
