3. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound is a pharmaceutically acceptable stereoisomer.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the stereoisomer is an enantiomerically pure R isomer.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the stereoisomer is an enantiomerically pure S isomer.

7. The method of claim 1, which further comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of an additional active agent.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the additional active agent is melphalan, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, cyclophosphamide, biaxin, or a combination thereof.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the additional active agent is doxorubicin.

10. The method of claim 1, which further comprises autologous stem cell transplantation.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the multiple myeloma is newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the multiple myeloma is refractory multiple myeloma.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the multiple myeloma is relapsed multiple myeloma.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound is administered in the form of a capsule or tablet.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the compound is administered in a capsule of 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg or 25 mg.
