Experimental: Auto- then Allo-HCT
Auto-HCT mobilization is cyclophosphamide 4 g/m2 + filgrastim 10 µg/kg/day for peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) collection by apheresis. Transplant conditioning is high-dose melphalan 200 mg/m2, followed by PBPC infusion as melphalan rescue [ie, autologous hematopoietic cells transplant (Auto-HCT)]. Post-infusion support is filgrastim 5 µg/kg/day, starting 6 days after melphalan. Stable/responsive disease at 4 weeks continues to allogenic HCT (Allo-HCT) from sibling donor fully-matched for human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Allo-HCT conditioning is total body irradiation (TBI) 200 centigray (cGy) + cyclosporine (CSP) 6.25 mg/kg + mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 15 mg/kg. Donor mobilization is filgrastim 16 µg/kg/day on day -4 to Day 0; apheresis collections on Day -1 & Day 0, to a target of > 5 x 10e6 CD34 cells/kg. Allo-HCT is infused to participant on Day 0, with premedication hydrocortisone 100 mg IV & diphenhydramine 50 mg IV. CSP tapering on Day 56 to Day 180, adjusted as needed.

Procedure: Autologous hematopoietic cell transplant (Auto-HCT)
The target cell dose is 2.6 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg Procedure: Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (Allo-HCT) The target cell dose is 5 x 10e6 CD34 cells/kg Drug: Cyclophosphamide Cyclophosphamide administered intravenously (IV) at 4 mg /m² mobilize peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) for autologous re-infusion

- Event-free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Event-free survival (EFS) as determined for all participants who received the initial Auto-HCT treatment. "Event" was defined as any of the following within 3 years of the participant's last infusion of Auto-HCT or Allo-HCT: relapse; death; or last follow-up if there is no data to document the participant remained alive at 3 years.
- Relapse Rate [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Relapse rate as determined for all participants who received the initial Auto-HCT treatment. Relapse was protocol-specified as progressive disease, indicated by an increase as compared to pre-Auto-HCT baseline, of serum or urine monoclonal protein >25%; bone marrow plasmacytosis >25%; or bone lesions on skeletal survey (any increase).
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Overall Survival (OS) as determined for all participants who received the initial Auto-HCT treatment, as assessed from the date of the last transplant.
- Acute Graft-vs-Host-Disease (aGvHD) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Development of acute graft-vs-host-disease (aGvHD) within 6 months, for participants receiving Allo-HCT.
- Chronic Graft-vs-Host-Disease (cGvHD) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]Development of chronic graft versus host disease (cGvHD) within 3 years, for participants receiving Allo-HCT. Reported as "Extensive cGvHD;" "cGvHD, Not Extensive;" or "No cGvHD," as determined by investigator judgement (no protocol-specified criteria).
