Inclusion Criteria

1. Patient with confirmed multiple myeloma requiring systemic therapy. All three criteria must be met: • Clonal bone marrow plasma cells > 10% • Presence of serum and/or urinary monoclonal protein • Evidence of end-organ damage that can be attributed to the underlying plasma cell proliferative disorder, specifically: o Hypercalcemia: serum calcium > 11.5 mg/100 ml or o Renal insufficiency: serum creatinine > 173 µmol/l o Anemia: normochromic, normocytic with a hemoglobin value of > 2g/100 ml below the lower limit of normal or a hemoglobin value < 10g/100 ml o Bone lesions: lytic lesions, severe osteopenia or pathologic fractures 2. Patient with multiple myeloma relapsing according to the International uniform response criteria for multiple myeloma (IMWG 2009/ revised Bladé criteria) (defined in Table 1) to one previous line of treatment (defined in Table 2). Patients previously treated, with Bortezomib, for multiple myeloma can be included if and only if : o they have shown minimal, partial or complete response to this treatment o they have not been refractory to this treatment (to be considered as bortezomib refractory patient, any patient who didn’t show any response to previous bortezomib treatment or whose disease progressed during or within 60 days of bortezomib treatment) 3. Patient candidate for receiving the standard therapy (bortezomib and dexamethazone) 4. Patient with measurable progressive disease defined by at least one of the following two measurements: • Serum M-protein 1 g/dL • Urine M-protein ³ 200 mg/24h 5. Patient with ECOG 2 6. Patient with adequate organ function • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1.5 giga/L • Platelets (PTL) 75 x 109/L • AST/ALT 2.5 ULN • Creatinin clearance > 30 mL/min • Bilirubin 1.5 ULN • Albumin 1 x LLN • Urea 2 x ULN • Albuminuria 300 mg/day 7. Patient with life expectancy > 6 months 8. Man or non-pregnant non-lactating woman, age >18 years and weight > 40 Kg and BMI > 18 kg/m² 9. Man and woman of childbearing potential, (entering the study after a menstrual period and who have a negative pregnancy test) must agree to use two methods (one for the patient and one for the partner) of medically acceptable forms of contraception during the study and for 3 months after the last treatment intake. 10. Patient able and willing to comply with study procedures as per protocol 11. Patient able to understand, sign, and date the written informed consent form at screening visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures

Patient who received bortezomib within 6 months of randomisation to this study 5. Past discontinuation of bortezomib due to associated grade 3 or higher adverse event 6. Patient with contra-indication to high dose of steroids (including ongoing active infection, use of live vaccines, virosis such as hepatitis, herpes, varicella, herpes zoster) 7. Patient with acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary and pericardial disease 8.

Patient with history of poor compliance or history of drug/alcohol abuse, or excessive alcohol beverage consumption that would interfere with the ability to comply with the study protocol, or current or past psychiatric disease that might interfere with the ability to comply with the study protocol or give informed consent Previous treatments 12. High dose of corticosteroids and/or local irradiation should be stopped at least 2 weeks prior to Baseline 13. Administration of any other treatment for multiple myeloma should be stopped at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline. Patients who received bortezomib within 6 months prior to Baseline are excluded 14.
