• Participant has had radiation therapy within 14 days of randomization
• Participant has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition or disease (example active systemic infection, uncontrolled diabetes, acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease) that is likely to interfere with the study procedures or results, or that in the opinion of the investigator, would constitute a hazard for participating in this study

Más betegség

• Participant has peripheral neuropathy or neuropathic pain Grade 2 or higher, as defined by the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4
• Participant has a history of malignancy (other than multiple myeloma) within 3 years before the date of randomization (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or malignancy 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)
• Participant has known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (defined as a forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] <50% of predicted normal), known moderate or severe persistent asthma within the last 2 years or currently has uncontrolled asthma of any classification (controlled intermittent asthma or controlled mild persistent asthma is allowed)
• Participant is known to be seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), known to have hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, or history of to have a history of hepatitis C

Egyéb

• Participant has had plasmapheresis within 28 days of randomization
• Participants with known or suspected COPD must have a FEV1 test during screening

• Participant must have documented multiple myeloma satisfying the calcium elevation, renal insufficiency, anemia, and bone abnormalities (CRAB) diagnostic criteria, monoclonal plasma cells in the bone marrow greater than or equal to 10 percent (%) or presence of a biopsy proven plasmacytoma, and measurable secretory disease, as assessed by the central laboratory, and defined in protocol
• Participants who are newly diagnosed and not considered candidate for high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation (SCT) due to: being age >=65 years, or in participants <65 years: presence of important comorbid conditions likely to have a negative impact on tolerability of high dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplantation
• Participant must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1, or 2
• Meet the clinical laboratory criteria as specified in the protocol
• A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening within 14 days prior to randomization
• Women of childbearing potential must commit to either abstain continuously from heterosexual sexual intercourse or to use 2 methods of reliable birth control simultaneously. This includes one highly effective form of contraception (tubal ligation, intrauterine device, hormonal [birth control pills, injections, hormonal patches, vaginal rings or implants] or partner's vasectomy) and one additional effective contraceptive method (male latex or synthetic condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap).
