- stringent complete response (sCR) after consolidation therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months ]sCR is defined by achieving CR (complete response) in addition to having a normal serum FLC (Free Light Chain) ratio and absence of clonal cells in bone marrow
- Progression free survival after maintenance therapy [ Time Frame: up to 60 months ]Time from the date of second randomization to either progressive disease (PD) or death
- PFS (Progression-Free Survival) (from first randomization) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]time from the initial randomization to either confirmed progressive disease (PD) or death
- Time to Progression (TTP) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]Time from the initial randomization to confirmed progressive disease (PD) or death due to progressive disease
- proportion of Post ASCT (Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation) / consolidation CR rate [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months ]Proportion of participants who have achieved CR or sCR by the end of consolidation treatment
- proportion of Post ASCT/consolidation MRD (Minimal Residual Disease) negativation [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months ]proportion of participants who have achieved MRD (minimal residual disease) negative status by the end of consolidation
- proportion of Post induction sCR [ Time Frame: Up to 4 months ]proportion of participants who have achieved sCR (stringent complete response) prior to high-dose therapy/ASCT (autologous stem cell transplantation)
- PFS 2 (from first randomization) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]time from initial randomization to subsequent progression on next-line of therapy after disease progression on study treatment
- OS (overall survival) (from first randomization) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]time from initial randomization to death

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of previously untreated multiple myeloma (MM)
- Have a confirmed diagnosis and eligible for high dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0,1 or 2
Exclusion Criteria:

- Primary amyloidosis, Plasma Cell Leukemia or Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
- Prior or concurrent exposure to systemic therapy or SCT (Stem Cell Transplantation) for any plasma cell dyscrasia, with the exception of an emergency use of a short course (equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for a maximum 4 days) of corticosteroids before treatment, or received an investigational drug or used an invasive investigational medical device within 4 weeks before Cycle 1, Day 1
