Therapies used for treatment of CAR T cell-related toxicities (e.g. steroids, cyclophosphamide) will not be a cause for exclusion, as long as washout period listed below (2 weeks) is met
Short course palliative radiation post-CAR T cell therapy (e.g. for severe bone pain, impending fracture) is allowed as long as completed at least 1 week prior to first dose of cevostamab.

Received systemic immunosuppressive medications (including, but not limited to, steroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, tocilizumab, siltuximab, anakinra, ruxolitinib, and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents), with the exception of corticosteroid treatment ≤ 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent, within 2 weeks prior to first dose of cevostamab a. Participants who received acute, low-dose, systemic immunosuppressant medications (e.g., single dose of dexamethasone for nausea) may be enrolled in the study.

i. The use of inhaled corticosteroids is permitted. ii. The use of mineralocorticoids for management of orthostatic hypotension is permitted.

iii. The use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids for management of adrenal insufficiency is permitted.

Autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) within 100 days prior to first cevostamab infusion
Prior allogeneic SCT within 12 months prior to first cevostamab infusion. Participants with prior allogeneic SCT must have no evidence for active graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) and be off all therapy for GVHD for at least 3 months prior to first cevostamab infusion.
Prior solid organ transplantation

History of autoimmune disease, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis

Participants with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone may be eligible for this study.
Participants with history of immune thromobocytopenic purpura (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia, or other immune-mediated conditions that solely affect blood counts, as long as these conditions are not active at the time of enrollment and subjects otherwise meet hematologic parameters for eligibility, may be eligible with approval from Sponsor Medical Director.
Participants with history of confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to monoclonal antibody therapy (or recombinant antibody-related fusion proteins)

History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results

Participants with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are allowed.
Participants with a malignancy that has been treated with curative intent will also be allowed if the malignancy has been in remission prior to first cevostamab infusion.

Current or past history of CNS disease, such as stroke, epilepsy, CNS vasculitis, neurodegenerative disease, or CNS involvement by MM

Participants with a history of stroke who have not experienced a stroke or transient ischemic attack in the past 2 years and have no residual neurologic deficits as judged by the investigator are allowed.

Symptomatic active pulmonary disease or requiring supplemental oxygen

Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, parasitic, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of nail beds) at study enrollment, or any major episode of infection requiring treatment with IV antibiotics within 14 days prior to first cevostamab infusion. Empiric or prophylactic antibiotics administered during neutropenia or neutropenic fever without microbiologic evidence of infection do not exclude subjects.

a. Participants with asymptomatic CMV reactivation (i.e. positive CMV PCR) found at screening may enroll after discussion with the Medical Director.

Positive serologic or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results for acute or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection

a. Participants whose HBV infection status cannot be determined by serologic test results must be negative for HBV by PCR to be eligible for study participation.

Acute or chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection

a. Participants who are positive for HCV antibody must be negative for HCV by PCR to be eligible for study participation.

Known history of HIV seropositivity

Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before first cevostamab infusion or anticipation that such a live attenuated vaccine will be required during the study

Influenza vaccination should be given during influenza season (approximately October to May in the Northern Hemisphere). Subjects must not receive live, attenuated influenza vaccine (e.g., FluMist®) at any time during the study treatment period.
SARS-CoV-2 vaccines may be given in accordance with the approved/authorized vaccine label and official/local immunization guidance. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines must not be administered within 1 week before first study treatment or during Cycle 1.
Investigators should review the vaccination status of potential study subjects being considered for this study and follow the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for adult vaccination with any other non-live vaccines intended to prevent infectious diseases prior to study.
Any medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the Medical Director's judgment, precludes the subject's safe participation in and completion of the study, or which could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results.
