  • Calculated creatinine clearance \>= 45 ml/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula (obtained =\< 14 days prior to registration)
  • Negative pregnancy test done =\< 7 days prior to registration, for persons of childbearing potential only. NOTE: If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
  • Provide written informed consent

  • Nursing persons
  • Persons of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm
  • Another active malignancy requiring therapy such as radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. NOTE: Patients on hormonal therapy for treated breast or prostate cancer are permitted if they meet other eligibility criteria

  • Known allergy to any of the study medications, their analogues or excipients in the various formulations
  • Subjects must not have conditions associated with increased risk of metformin associated lactic acidosis, including New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure, history of acidosis of any type, alcoholic liver disease, or habitual intake of 3 or more alcoholic beverages per day
  • Clinical history of type I or type II diabetes
  • Currently on either metformin or a HIV-PI or both
  • Elevated baseline lactate level \> ULN (2.3 mmol/L)
  • Any of the following recent prior anti-myeloma therapy:
  • Alkylators (e.g. melphalan, cyclophosphamide) and anthracyclines =\< 14 days prior to registration
  • High dose corticosteroids (equivalent to \> 10 mg of prednisone/day) and immunomodulatory drugs (thalidomide or lenalidomide) =\< 7 days prior to registration
