• The patient must, in the opinion of the investigator, be capable of complying with all requirements of the trial.
• Have signed the informed consent form
• Be between 18 and 67 years of age
• Have an ECOG Performance Status \<= 2 (or 3 if the ECOG is due to myeloma, e.g. pathological fracture)
• Multiple myeloma patient who was included in the GEM2012MENOS65 trial, and who is found to have, at a minimum, minimal response after consolidation
• Life expectancy > 3 months

• The patient must have the following laboratory values in the 21 days prior to initiation of treatment (day 1, cycle 1):

  1. Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L and absolute neutrophil count of ≥ 1.0 x 109/L. - Platelet transfusions to help patients meet eligibility criteria are not allowed.
  2. Corrected serum calcium \< 14 mg/dL.
  3. Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
  4. Total bilirubin within normal range
  5. Calculated creatinine clearance > 30 mL/min

• Female patients who:

  1. Are postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit, OR
  2. Are surgically sterile, OR
  3. If they are of childbearing potential, agree to practice 2 effective methods of contraception, at the same time, from the time of signing the informed consent form through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, AND
  4. Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR
  5. Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence [eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)

• Male patients, even if surgically sterilized (ie, status post-vasectomy), must agree to one of the following:

  1. Agree to practice effective barrier contraception during the entire study treatment period and through 90 days after the last dose of study drug, OR
  2. Must also adhere to the guidelines of any treatment-specific pregnancy prevention program, if applicable, OR 30 Agree to practice true abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. (Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.)
