Assessment

Primary outcomes

The proportion of patients experiencing skeletal-related events (SRE, defined as a pathologic fracture, radiation therapy to bone, surgery to bone, spinal cord compression, hypercalcemia) for 48 weeks.

Key secondary outcomes

1) The proportion of patients experiencing SRE for 104 weeks
2) Response rate (CR+PR) of the combination of MP and zoledronic acid at 48 weeks
3) The changes in serum markers of bone turnover (serum NTX and BSAP)
4) The changes in lumber spine BMD (L2-L4)
5) Frequency of adverse events

Interventions/Control_1

Melphalan (6mg/m2) and prednisone (40mg/m2) are given orally for 4 days. MP therapy will be given continuously every 4 weeks unless serious adverse events occur, or the patients meet the criteria as follows;
1) If CR, PR or MR and plateau-phase are achieved, and plateau phase continue for 3 months, MP therapy will be stopped. After discontinuation of MP therapy, MP therapy will be given again, if M-protein increase.
2) The efficacy at 12 week is NC or PD, MP therapy will be discontinued and changed to appropriate chemotherapy.

Zoledronic acid is administered intravenously over 15 minutes at the dose of 4mg or an adjusted dose based on renal function every 4 weeks for 2 years.( 26 times infusion for 100 weeks )
