Inclusion Criteria:

Major criteria:

1. Plasmacytomas on tissue biopsy.

2. Bone marrow plasmacytosis (> 30% plasma cells).

3. Monoclonal immunoglobulin spike on serum electrophoresis immunoglobulin G (IgG) > 3.5
g/dL or immunoglobulin A (IgA) > 2.0 g/dL; kappa or lambda light chain excretion > 1
g/day on 24 hour urine protein electrophoresis.

Minor criteria:

1. Bone marrow plasmacytosis (10 to 30% plasma cells)

2. Monoclonal immunoglobulin present but of lesser magnitude than given under major
criteria

3. Lytic bone lesions

4. Normal immunoglobulin M (IgM) < 50 mg/dL, IgA < 100 mg/dL or IgG < 600 mg/dL.

Any of the following sets of criteria will confirm the diagnosis of multiple myeloma:

1. Any two of the major criteria.

2. Major criterion 1 plus minor criterion b, c or d.

3. Major criterion 3 plus minor criterion a or c.

4. Minor criteria a, b and c or a, b and d.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Renal insufficiency (serum creatinine levels > 3 mg/dL).

2. Patients who present with either ALT or AST ≥ 2.5 X upper limit of normal.

3. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic
composition to perifosine (miltefosine or edelfosine).

4. Concomitant therapy medications that include corticosteroids (except as indicated for
other medical conditions, or up to 100 mgs of hydrocortisone as premedication for
administration of certain medications or blood products) or other chemotherapy that
is or may be active against myeloma, or therapy with chemotherapy within 3 weeks
prior to Day 1. Nitrosoureas must be discontinued 6 weeks prior to Day 1.

5. Subjects with a hemoglobin < 8.0 g/dL.

6. Any condition, including laboratory abnormalities, that in the opinion of the
Investigator, places the subject at unacceptable risk if he/she were to participate
in the study.
