Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response or a Partial ResponseBaseline to the end of the study (up to 1 year)

A complete response was defined as the disappearance of the original monoclonal protein from the blood and urine on at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; \< 5% plasma cells in the bone marrow on at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; if a skeletal survey is available, no increase in the size or number of lytic bone lesions; and the disappearance of soft tissue plasmacytomas for at least 6 weeks. A partial response was defined as a ≥ 50% reduction of monoclonal protein in the blood on at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; if present, reduction in 24-hour urinary light chain excretion by either ≥ 90% or to \< 200 mg for at least 2 determinations 6 weeks apart; ≥ 50% reduction in the size of tissue plasmacytomas for at least 6 weeks; and if a skeletal survey is available, no increase in the size or number of lytic bone lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalBaseline to the end of the study (up to 1 year)

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to disease progression or death due to progression.

Overall SurvivalBaseline to the end of the study (up to 1 year)
