Treatment: Drugs - Bortezomib
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone
Treatment: Drugs - Lenalidomide
Treatment: Drugs - Cilta-cel
Treatment: Drugs - Cyclophosphamide
Treatment: Drugs - Fludarabine

Experimental: Arm A: VRd+Rd (Standard Therapy) - Participants will receive bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) regimen for 6 cycles before randomization. Following randomization, participants in Arm A will receive 2 more cycles of VRd. In VRd treatment, participants will receive bortezomib 1.3 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) subcutaneously (SC) on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of each cycle (Cycles 1 to 8), oral lenalidomide 25 mg on Days 1 to 14 of each cycle (Cycles 1 to 8) and oral dexamethasone 20 mg on Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 of each cycle (Cycles 1 to 8). Each cycle will consist of 21 days. After 8 cycles of VRd, treatment will continue with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) maintenance therapy. In Rd treatment, participants will receive oral lenalidomide 25 mg on Days 1 to 21 of each cycle and oral dexamethasone 40 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each cycle. Each cycle will consist of 28 days. Participants will continue to receive Rd until confirmed progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Arm B: VRd+Ciltacabtagene Autoleucel (Cilta-cel) - Participants will receive VRd regimen for 6 cycles before randomization. Following randomization, participants in Arm B will undergo apheresis and receive two more cycles of VRd as bridging therapy. In VRd treatment, participants will receive bortezomib 1.3 mg/m\^2 SC on Days 1, 4, 8 and 11 of each cycle for Cycles 1 to 8; oral lenalidomide 25 mg on days 1 to 14 of each cycle for Cycles 1 to 8 and oral dexamethasone 20 mg on days 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of each cycle for Cycles 1 to 8. Each cycle will consist of 21 days. After 8 cycles of VRd, participants will receive a conditioning regimen (cyclophosphamide 300 mg/m\^2 intravenous \[IV\] and fludarabine 30 mg/m\^2 IV daily for 3 days) and Cilta-cel infusion 0.75\*10\^6 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-positive viable T cells/kilogram (kg).

Bortezomib will be administered SC.

Treatment: Drugs: Dexamethasone
Dexamethasone will be administered orally.

Treatment: Drugs: Lenalidomide
