• Symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM) patient at the time of diagnosis (but not necessarily at the time of relapse)
• Patient having received conventional chemotherapy in 1st line treatment because of age 65 years or over, or younger than 65 years and ineligible to high-dose therapy plus stem cell transplantation.
• Measurable disease (>10g/L monoclonal gammapathy or > 200 mg/24h proteinuria)
• Patient in 1st relapse or refractory to 1st line therapy.
Relapse is defined by M-component increase of =25% from baseline, in serum and/or urine (the absolute increase in serum must be = 5 g/l - the absolute increase of BJ proteins in urine must be =200 mg/24 h).
• Life expectancy of at least 3 months
• ECOG performance status < or = 2 at study entry
• Laboratory test results within these ranges:
- Absolute neutrophil count >or= 1.5 x 109/L
- Platelet count >or= 100 x 109/L
- Serum creatinine - AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) • Disease free of prior malignancies for >or= 5 years, with exception of curatively treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ” of the cervix or breast
• Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
• Using effective contraceptive methods during and for 6 months after study treatment (for fertile men, women of childbearing potential).
• Provision of informed consent.
