Inclusion Criteria

In patients with solid tumours
1.confirmed diagnosis of an advanced unresectable and/or metastatic,
malignant solid tumour, which failed conventional treatment or for
which no therapy of proven efficacy exists, or not amenable to standard
therapies
2.Age = 18 years when signature of the informed consent(ICF). For NMC patients = 15 years when ICF (for Germany only = 18)
3.Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0 or 1 at the time of
screening (2 allowed in NMC)
4.Recovery of therapy-related toxicities from previous chemotherapy,
tyrosine kinase inhibitors, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, antibodies,
vaccine therapy, or radiotherapy to CTCAE = grade 1 (except for
alopecia, peripheral sensory neuropathy grade 2)
5.Life expectancy = 12 weeks after the start of the treatment
6.Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3(R2)
7.Written ICF. For adolescent NMC patients aged 15 to < 18 years assent and ICF of the parents or legal guardian
8.Optional written ICF for tumour biopsies in the escalation phase Ia In addition, all patients included in the expansion Phase Ib must:
9.Have one of the four diagnoses: SCLC, mCRPC, CRC or NMC
10.Have failed conventional treatments or who are not amenable to standard therapies (per criterion 1) that specifically include for:
a.SCLC: a platinum-based therapy, (previous treatment with topotecan is not mandatory)
b.mCRPC: a hormonal agent (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide)
and a taxane (docetaxel or cabazitaxel)
c.CRC: fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, bevacizumab when applicable and EGFR inhibitor in RAS WT mCRC
11.Have a measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 (for NMC patients
non-measurable disease only is acceptable) or according to PCWG3 for
the mCRPC cohort (see point 5 below, specific to mCRPC patients)
12.Have progressive disease within the last 6 months, according to
RECIST 1.1 or according to PCWG3 (R17-3377) for the mCRPC cohort
(see point 5 below, specific to mCRPC patients)
13.Have a tumour lesion accessible for biopsies (pre- and at steady state
under treatment in Cycle 1, ideally from the same anatomic lesion)
(except for mCRPC patients having only bone metastases or patients with therapeutic INR). Biopsies are optional for NMC patients
14.Give written ICF for two tumour biopsies, one at screening and one
after start of treatment, between Day 8 and Day 11 of Cycle 1 (when
applicable)
In addition, all patients in the mCRPC expansion cohort of Phase Ib must
have:
1.Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the
prostate
2.Radiographic evidence of metastatic prostate cancer (stage M1 or D2).
Distant metastases evaluable by bone scan, CT scan, or MRI within 28
days before the start of study treatment
3.PSA = 5 ng/mL (if no measurable disease by RECIST 1.1)
4.Prior surgical or chemical castration with a serum testosterone of <50
ng/dL (< 1.7 nmol/L) by luteinizing hormone releasing level hormone
(LHRH) agonist or antagonist or by abiraterone or by enzalutamide or
apalutamide. If the actual method of castration is LHRH agonist or
antagonist, the patient must be willing to continue its use during
protocol treatment
5.Progressive disease defined as at least one of the following:
a.Progressive measurable disease: using conventional solid tumour
criteria RECIST 1.1
b.Bone scan progression: at least two new lesions on bo
