 Summary: 
 A multicenter, double arms, prospective randomized controlled phase 4 study.
Approximately 50 previously untreated subjects with multiple myeloma will be enrolled.
The study will consist of 6 phases, screening, treatment and follow-up. 
 Detailed description: 
 Screening
At the screening visit, informed consent will be obtained from all subjects who are
deemed potentially eligible for enrollment in the study, according to the
protocol-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Treatment
Eligible patients are randomly assigned to receive either treatment PAD or VCD. All
eligible subjects will be evaluated after 4 cycles treatment. According to the assessment
of researchers and the willingness of patients to decide whether to autologous stem-cell
transplantation (ASCT). Suitable for transplant patients will accept hematopoietic stem
cell transplantation. Not suitable for transplant patients will continue accept treatment
for 8 cycles. The patients who accept more than 4 cycles treatment will receive efficacy
evaluation.
Follow-up
All patients will receive 12 months of follow-up after the treatment period. Follow-up at
4, 6, 8 and 12 month after the treatment period respectively. Subjects who have disease
progression or accept other resistance myeloma therapy during the 12 months of follow-up
phase will stop assessed about the study and start followed up only for survival status
every 6 months through telephone interviews or to research center follow-up. All patients
will accept the follow-up for survival until last case patient who complete follow-up.
Safety will be evaluated throughout the study by assessment of adverse events (AEs),
physical examination, vital signs and clinical laboratory findings. 
 Criteria for eligibility: 
 Criteria: 
  
 Inclusion Criteria:
  1. Men or women aged <65 years.
  2. Previously untreated subjects with multiple myeloma.
  3. No clinically significant cardiac amyloidosis (Echocardiography septal≤10mm, brain
     natriuretic peptide (BNP) < 500).
  4. Pulmonary infection (if any) must be controlled effectively.
  5. Chronic viral hepatitis (if any) must be controlled effectively.(Subjects with HBs
     Ag positive need to monitor hepatitis B virus-DNA (HBV-DNA )quantitative test
     regularly);
  6. Liver function (aminotransferase, bilirubin)?2 x the upper limit of normal (ULN).
  7. Expected lifetime More than 3 months.
  8. Be able to read and sign (or their legally-acceptable representatives must sign) an
     informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and
     procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
  1. Patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
  2. Need to change the program according to the researchers' evaluated patients with
     disease progression during treatment.
  3. Had uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease. Had a myocardial infarction
     within 6 months of enrolment, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV
     heart failure, uncontrolled angina, clinically significant pericardial disease, or
     cardiac amyloidosis.
  4. Has a history of allergic reaction to compounds containing boron or mannitol.
  5. Severe neuropathy may affect the treatment, according to the researchers to
     determine.
  6. According to the program or the investigator's judgment, the patient is suffering
     from a serious physical illness or mental illness may interfere with participation
     in this clinical study.
  7. Concurrent treatment with another investigational agent.
  8. Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
