Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new drug BI 836845 which blocks the insulin growth factor (IGF) pathway believed to be involved in cancer growth. BI 836845 will be administered for the very first time into cancer patients.
The study will also look at the overall safety of the drug, and examine the drug levels in the body at specific timepoints during the trial (pharmacokinetic profile); the effect the drug may have on tumours will also be examined (pharmacodynamics).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Relevant Biological Dose (RBD) of BI 836845 During the First Treatment Course of the Dose Escalation Phase
Time Frame: During the first course of treatment, up to 21 days
To determine the MTD or relevant biological dose (RBD) of BI 836845 during the first treatment course of the dose escalation phase. The MTD was defined as the highest dose level of BI 836845 below the maximum dose administered at which no more than 1 out of 6 patients experienced a drug-related DLT during the first course of treatment. Starting dose of 10 mg BI 836845, administered once every 3 weeks. Dose levels evaluated were: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, 160 mg, 320 mg, 640 mg, 1280 mg, 1800 mg, 2400 mg, and 3600 mg. In the absence of the MTD, the RBD, where a plateau in total Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) level and total neutralisation of IGF activity is predicted, is reported.
Percentage of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During the First Treatment Course of the Dose Escalation Phase
Time Frame: During the first course of treatment, up to 21 days
DLTs defined as drug related: CTCAE Grade 4 neutropenia lasting ≥7 days; febrile neutropenia and/or documented infection with Absolute Neutrophil Count \<1.0x109/L; Grade 4 thrombocytopaenia or Grade 3 associated with bleeding needing platelet transfusion; Grade ≥3 increased hepatic enzymes; Grade 3 or 4 non-haematologic toxicity with exceptions; Grade ≥2 infusion reaction despite adequate pre-medication; Grade ≥2 nausea and/or vomiting persisting for ≥7 days despite antiemetic treatment; Grade ≥3 skin toxicity despite adequate supportive care measures for up to 2 weeks if it does not reach an improvement to grade ≤2; Grade ≥3 hyperglycaemia resistant to treatment with anti-diabetic agents; any electrolyte grade 3 AE refractory to optimal correction therapy; no recovery from a non-DLT grade \>2 toxicity to grade 1 within 14 days of administered dose; sustained fatigue/asthenia grade 3 for \>96 h associated with deterioration of Performance score (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group).
