Inclusion Criteria: * Subject aged ≥ 18 years. * History of histologically confirmed multiple myeloma and/or Plasma Cell Leukemia diagnosis undergoing ASCT who are determined to be fit by the investigator to undergo ASCT with melphalan 200 mg/m2 or melphalan 140 mg/m2 as conditioning. * Able to provide informed consent and willing to sign an approved consent form that conforms to federal and institutional guidelines. * Adequate organ function as defined as: --Hepatic: * Total Bilirubin ≤ 2 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). * AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 5 × institutional ULN * For female subjects who have not undergone surgical sterilization: Negative pregnancy test or evidence of post-menopausal status.
