Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well (efficacy) cilta-cel works when given with a fludarabine-free lymphodepletion regimen (a process of reducing the number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell in the body, typically through chemotherapy), or an alternative administration of cilta-cel infusion following a cyclophosphamide and fludarabine lymphodepletion regimen.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria

- Not considered a candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation due to: (a) Advanced age; or (b) Presence of comorbid condition(s) likely to have a negative impact on tolerability of high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation; or (c) Participant refusal of high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation as initial treatment
