4. Not eligible for high-dose melphalan conditioned autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) due to age and/or co-morbidities.
5. No contraindication to the use of any of the study drugs.
6. Adequate liver function (total bilirubin less than 2.0x ULN, ALT less than 5.0x ULN) unless considered secondary to MM.
7. Adequate haematological parameters - Hb equal to or greater 80g/L (RBC transfusions as per institutional protocol are allowed); absolute neutrophil count equal to or greater 1.0 x 109/L; and, platelet count equal to or greater 50 x 109/L (equal to or greater 30 x 109/L if MM involvement in the marrow is greater than 50%) without platelet transfusion within 7 days of the screening platelet count.
8. Has provided written informed consent.
9. Women of childbearing potential must have a medically supervised pregnancy test with a minimum sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL performed before, during and after treatment.
10. Women of childbearing potential and male subjects who are sexually active with WOCP must agree to use 2 highly effective methods of contraception during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study treatment including a male condom.
Exclusion
1. Prior treatment for MM apart from localised radiotherapy and/or a short course of steroids (dexamethasone 160mg or equivalent) for emergency management of MM related symptoms.
2. Patients who have had myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrolment, or NYHA (New York Hospital Association) Class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities.
3. Creatinine clearance <30ml/min that persists after correction of recognisable reversible factors e.g. hypercalcaemia, dehydration, sepsis etc.
4. Any other serious or uncontrolled medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigators opinion, potentially interfere with the completion of treatment according to this protocol.

b. Adequately treated stage 1 cancer from which the subject is currently in remission from and has been in remission for > 2 years.
c. Stage 1 prostate cancer that does not require treatment.
d. Any other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for > 2 years.
9. Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule. This condition must be discussed with the patient prior to signing consent and registration in the trial.
