Title: A PHASE 3, MULTICENTRE, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED STUDY TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF LENALIDOMIDE, MELPHALAN AND PREDNISONE (MPR) Versus MELPHALAN (200 mg/m2) FOLLOWED BY STEM CELL TRANSPLANT IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED MULTIPLE MYELOMA SUBJECTS

2. Written informed consent

Exclusion criteria:

1. Younger then 18 years of age
2. Indication for VKA other than DVT and/or PE

4. Active liver disease or liver disease decreasing survival (e.g. acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or ALAT \> 3 x ULN
5. Creatinine clearance \< 30 ml/min
6. Acute bacterial endocarditis
7. Active bleeding or high risk for bleeding.
8. Uncontrolled hypertension (investigators judgement)

10. Life expectancy \<6 months
11. Childbearing potential without proper contraceptive measures\*, pregnancy or breast feeding

* Male or female subjects older than the minimum legal adult age (country specific);
* Acute symptomatic proximal DVT and/or symptomatic PE confirmed at the site by appropriate diagnostic imaging;
* Able to provide written informed consent

* More than 48 hours pre-treatment with anticoagulant therapy prior to randomization;
* Calculated Creatinine clearance (CrCL) \< 30 mL/min;
* significant liver disease (e.g., acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or alanine transaminase (ALT) \>\\= 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin (TBL) x 1.5 times the ULN;
* patients with active cancer for whom long term treatment with (LMW) heparin is anticipated;
* active bleeding or high risk for bleeding contraindicating treatment with (LMW) heparin or warfarin;

* treatment with aspirin in a dosage of more than 100 mg/per day or dual antiplatelet therapy;
* concurrent treatment with potent P-gp inhibitors;
* subjects with any condition that, as judged by the investigator, would place the subject at increased risk of harm if he/she participated in the study
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Confirmed acute symptomatic proximal PE with or without symptomatic DVT

Exclusion Criteria:

* Legal lower age limitations (country specific)
* Thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent to treat the current episode of DVT and/or PE
* Other indication for VKA than DVT and/or PE
* The pre-randomization anti-coagulant treatment (Criteria # 4) has been prolonged from 36 hours to a maximum of 48 hours.
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patient is, in the investigator(s) opinion, willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements.
* Patient has given voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to their future medical care.
* Patient is 65 years old or younger at the time of signing the informed consent
* Female patient is either post-menopausal or surgically sterilized or willing to use an acceptable double method of birth control (i.e., a hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study.
* Negative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin ( β-HCG) pregnancy test both 24 hours prior to beginning of therapy and then at 4 weeks intervals in women with regular menstrual cycles or every 2 weeks in women with irregular menstrual cycles during study treatment for subjects of childbearing potential
* Male patient agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception (i.e., condom or abstinence) during study drug therapy (including dose interruption) and for 4 weeks after discontinuation of lenalidomide therapy.
* Patient was diagnosed with symptomatic multiple myeloma based on standard criteria (9), and has measurable disease, defined as follows: any quantifiable serum monoclonal protein value (generally, but not necessarily, greater than 1 g/dL of IgG M-Protein and greater than 0.5 g/dL of IgA M-Protein) and, where applicable, urine light-chain excretion of \>200 mg/24 hours; measurable plasmacytoma \> 2 cm as determined by clinical examination or applicable radiographs (i.e. MRI, CT-Scan); bone marrow plasma cells\>10%.
* Patient has a Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60%.
* Patient has a life-expectancy \> 6 months
* Patient has not active infectious hepatitis type B or C, and has HIV negative test
* Patients must have an ejection fraction by ECHO or MUGA \> 50% performed within 60 days prior to registration
* Patients must have adequate pulmonary function studies \> 50% of predicted on mechanical aspects (FEV1, FVC, etc) and diffusion capacity (DLCO) \> 50% of predicted. Patients unable to complete pulmonary function tests because of myeloma-related chest pain, must have a high resolution CT scan of the chest and must also have acceptable arterial blood gases defined as P02 greater than 70.
* Patient has the following laboratory values within 14 days before Baseline (day 1 of the Cycle 1):

  * Platelet count ≥ 75 x 109/L without transfusion support within 7 days before the test.
  * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L without the use of growth factors.
  * Corrected serum calcium ≤ 14 mg/dL (3.5 mmol/L).
  * Aspartate transaminase (AST): ≤ 2.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN).
  * Alanine transaminase (ALT): ≤ 2.5 x the ULN.
  * Total bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 x the ULN.
  * Calculated or measured creatinine clearance: ≥ 30 mL/minute
* Patient has a baseline bone marrow sample available for cytogenetics, that will be processed and eventually centralized within each country.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous treatment with anti-myeloma therapy (does not include radiotherapy, bisphosphonates, or a single short course of steroid; \< to the equivalent of dexamethasone 40 mg/day for 4 days).
