Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who have purely non-secretory multiple myeloma (i.e., the absence of a measurable protein in serum by electrophoresis and immunofixation and the absence of Bence-Jones protein in the urine defined by use of electrophoresis and immunofixation) * Prior evidence of disease progression * Patients who have other malignancy associated with a high risk of progression in the next 2 years.
