Experimental: LCAR-B38M Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Participants will receive LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells as a single infusion which consists of autologous T lymphocytes transduced with LCAR-B38M, a lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR). In addition, participants will enroll in additional cohort to further characterize the safety profile and accumulate efficacy data of LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells. |
Biological: LCAR-B38M CAR-T Cell
Participants will receive LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells as a single infusion which consists of autologous T lymphocytes transduced with LCAR-B38M, a lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor targeting the human B cell maturation antigen (anti-BCMA CAR).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) infusion (Day 1)]
The ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve at least a partial response (PR) or better according to international myeloma working group (IMWG) criteria.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
An adverse event is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.

The VGPR or better rate, defined as the percentage of participants achieving VGPR and complete response (CR) (including stringent complete response [sCR]) according to IMWG criteria during or after the study treatment. IMWG criteria for VGPR: Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis, or greater than or equal to (>=) 90 percent (%) reduction in serum Mprotein plus urine M-protein less than (<) 100 milligram (mg)/24 hours, CR: Negative immunofixation on the serum and urine, disappearance of any soft tissue plasmacytomas and <5% plasma cells (PCs) in bone marrow. sCR: CR plus normal free light chain (FLC) ratio, and absence of clonal PCs by immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence for 2 to 4 color flow cytometry.
- Percentage of Participants with Complete Response (CR) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Complete response is based on serum M-Protein and bone marrow assessments as per IMWG criteria.
- Percentage of Participants with Negative Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Minimal residual disease negative rate is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve MRD negative status by the respective time point. MRD will be assessed by bone marrow 8-colored flow cytometry.
- Percentage of Participants who Achieve Clinical Benefit [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Clinical Benefit Rate is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve ORR (sCR + CR + VGPR + PR) and minimal response (MR) as per IMWG criteria.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Duration of response (DOR) will be calculated among responders (with a PR or better response) from the date of initial documentation of a response (PR or better) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease, as defined in the IMWG criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Time to Response (TTR) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Time to response (TTR) is defined as the time between date of the initial infusion of LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells and the first efficacy evaluation that the participant has met all criteria for PR or better.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
PFS defined as time from date of initial infusion of LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells to date of first documented disease progression, defined in the IMWG criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Overall survival (OS) [Mnimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Overall survival (OS) is measured from the date of infusion of the LCAR-B38M CAR-T cells to the date of the participant's death.
- Levels of CAR-T cell Activation Markers [Minimum 2 years after LCAR-B38M CART infusion (Day 1)]
Levels of CAR-T cell Activation Markers like CD4+, CD8+, and CD25+ will be assessed. An evaluation of cell populations may be performed by flow cytometry.

Stringent Complete Response (sCR) is based on serum M-Protein and bone marrow assessments as per IMWG criteria for complete response(CR) plus normal free light chain (FLC) ratio, and absence of clonal PCs by immunohistochemistry(IHC), or 2 to 4 color flow cytometry.
