  • Participant has relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma with documented evidence of progression that occurred during or after the participant's last treatment regimen based on investigator's determination of International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria.
  • Measurable disease confirmed by central lab at Screening, defined by at least 1 of the following: Serum M-protein >= 1.0 g/dL (>= 10 g/L), OR Urine M-protein >= 200 mg/24 hours, OR Serum free light chain (FLC) >= 10 mg/dL, provided serum FLC ratio is abnormal in participants who do not have measurable disease by Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) or Urine Protein Electrophoresis (UPEP) criteria.
  • Participant has received previous multiple myeloma treatment as defined in the protocol.
  • Bone marrow aspirate samples have been collected.
  • To qualify for Part 1 and 3, the participant must be t(11;14) positive as determined by an analytically validated Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) assay per central laboratory testing.
