Description	Median time to progression of disease is assessed according to International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) criteria or death from any cause. IMWG criteria: increase of >=25% from lowest level in Serum M-component or (the absolute increase must be >=0.5 gram per deciliter [g/dL]); Urine M component or (the absolute increase must be >=200 milligram per 24 hour. Only in participants without measurable serum and urine M-protein levels: the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain levels. The absolute increase >10 mg/dL. Bone marrow plasma cell percentage >=10%. Definite development of new bone lesions or soft tissue plasmacytomas or definite increase in the size of existing. Development of hypercalcemia. Participants who died or dropped out due to any reason without progression will be censored with the day of death or drop-out, respectively and who are alive at the end of the study without any progression was censored with the last available date.
Time Frame	Up to 1 year and 4 months (From date of first participant randomization [20 December 2004] up to interim analysis cut-off date [28 April 2006])
