Prior treatment
- Prior therapy for multiple myeloma other than a short course of corticosteroids (not to exceed 40 mg of dexamethasone, or equivalent per day, total of 160 mg dexamethasone or equivalent)
- Prior or concurrent invasive malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) within 5 years of date of randomization (exceptions are adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast, or other non-invasive lesion that in the opinion of the investigator, with concurrence with the sponsor's medical monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years)
- Focal radiation therapy within 14 days of randomization with the exception of palliative radiotherapy for symptomatic pain management. Radiotherapy within 14 days prior to randomization on measurable extramedullary plasmacytoma is not permitted even in the setting of palliation for symptomatic management
Other illness

Other
- Frailty index of \>=2 according to Myeloma Geriatric Assessment score
Who the study is looking for
- \- Diagnosis of multiple myeloma as documented per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria Monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow greater than or equal to (\>=)10 percentage (%) or presence of a biopsy proven plasmacytoma and documented multiple myeloma satisfying at least one of the calcium, renal, anemia, bone (CRAB) criteria or biomarkers of malignancy criteria. CRAB criteria: Hypercalcemia: serum calcium greater than (\>) 0.25 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (\>1 milligram per deciliter \[mg/dL\]) higher than upper limit of normal (ULN) or \>2.75 mmol/L (\>11 mg/dL); Renal insufficiency: creatinine clearance less than (\<) 40 milliliter per minute (mL/min) or serum creatinine \>177 micro millimoles per liter (umol/L) (\>2 mg/dL); Anemia: hemoglobin \>2 g/dL below the lower limit of normal or hemoglobin \<10 g/dL; Bone lesions: one or more osteolytic lesions on skeletal radiography, computed tomography (CT), or positron emission tomography (PET)-CT.
- Biomarkers of Malignancy: Clonal bone marrow plasma cell percentage \>=60%; Involved: uninvolved serum free light chain (FLC) ratio \>=100; \>1 focal lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies
- Must have measurable disease, as assessed by central laboratory
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2
- A woman of childbearing potential must have 2 negative serum or urine pregnancy tests at Screening, first within 10 to 14 days prior to dosing and the second within 24 hours prior to dosing
