          -  Measurable myeloma paraprotein levels in serum (≥ 0.5 g/dL) or urine (≥ 0.2 g excreted
             in a 24-hour urine collection sample).

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-2

          -  Performance status of 3 will be allowed if related to bony disease.

          -  Prior steroid therapy for up to 4 weeks will not exclude the patient from entering the
             study.

          -  Bilirubin < 3.0

          -  Liver enzymes: alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase (ALT or AST) < 3 x upper
             limit of normal (ULN)

          -  Must have adequate bone marrow function:

          -  Absolute neutrophil count > 1,000 cells/mm³ (1.0 x 10^9/L). Patients with bone marrow
             >50% plasma cells are permitted to have a neutrophil count of < 1,000 cells/mm³.

          -  Platelets ≥ 50,000 cells/mm³. Patients with bone marrow >50% plasma cells are
             permitted to have a Platelet count < 50, 000 cells/mm³.

          -  Hemoglobin > 8 g/dL (transfusion allowed to increase the Hgb)

          -  Must have adequate renal function: Creatinine ≤ 2.5 mg/dL

          -  Must have a 2-d echocardiogram indicating left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥
             50% within 42 days prior to first dose of study drug

          -  Able to tolerate aspirin, low molecular weight heparin or coumadin

          -  Must be registered into the mandatory RevAssist® program, and be willing and able to
             comply with the requirements of RevAssist®

          -  Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy
             test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 to 14 days prior to and again
             within 24 hours of prescribing lenalidomide (prescriptions must be filled within 7
             days) and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or
             begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control AT THE SAME TIME, at least 4 weeks
             before taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men
             must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with a female of child bearing
             potential even if they have had a successful vasectomy.

             cancer, in-situ cervical cancer, or other cancer from which the subject has been
             disease-free for at least 5 years. Concurrent prostate cancer for which the patient is
             receiving therapy will not be considered an exclusion if the prostatic specific
             antigen (PSA) has been stable for three years.
