• Of the plasma cell population ≥95% abnormal plasma cells (presence or absence of CD38, CD56, CD19 and/or CD45)

• Immunoparesis, a reduction (below the lower normal limit) in the levels of 1 or 2 of the uninvolved immunoglobulins (Ig)

• Measurable disease defined by any one of the following:

• Serum monoclonal protein ≥ 1.0 g/dl

• Written informed consent

• Patient is capable of giving informed consent

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with symptomatic multiple myeloma (i.e. having myeloma defining events)

• Amyloid Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis

• Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.

• Concurrent systemic treatment or prior therapy within 4 weeks for SMM (if a patient has received any previous SMM therapy this must be discussed with the Principal Investigator before inclusion in the trial).

Treatment with corticosteroids for other indications is permitted

• Contraindication to any concomitant medication, including antivirals, anticoagulation prophylaxis, tumor lysis prophylaxis, or hydration given prior to therapy

• History of allergic reactions attributed to immunomodulatory agents and proteasome inhibitors.

• Uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes

• Pre-existing pulmonary, cardiac or renal impairement that prevents hydration measures as described at paragraph 9.1.4

• Any psychological, familial, sociological and geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
