Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to test the experimental drug, MSC2015103B at different dose levels and on different treatment schedules, to see whether it is safe and can be tolerated when given to subjects once a day one day per week over a 21-day period or once a day three times per week over a 21-day period. The investigators would also like to find out how MSC2015103B is broken down by the body.

Additional purposes of the trial are to assess side effects of MSC2015103B and to find out whether MSC2015103B has anti-cancer effects. In addition, the investigators would like to explore pharmacokinetics.

DLT was defined as any of the following AEs occurring during Cycle 1 that are not related to progressive disease (PD) at any dose level: Any Grade 3 or more non-hematological toxicity excluding: Grade 3 diarrhea or associated electrolyte abnormalities that were controlled with adequate and optimal therapies, Grade 3 liver function abnormalities which resolved within 7 days, vomiting. Grade 4 neutropenia of greater than (\>) 5 days duration or Grade 3 febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, any severe or life threatening AE or any AE or abnormality which impairs daily normal physiological functions, any treatment delay for 2 weeks or more due to adverse effects not related to PD. All events judged to be related by the Investigator to PD were excluded from the DLT definition.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects Who Experienced Any Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Death and TEAEs Leading to DiscontinuationFrom the initiation of the trial till the data cut-off date 15 July 2013

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE (Serious adverse event) is defined as any AE that resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was a medically important condition.. TEAEs are events between first dose of study drug up to the cut-off date (15 July 2013) and were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)Schedule 1 : 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1 and Week 3; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Days 1 and 17.
Apparent Terminal Half Life (T1/2)Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1 and Week 3; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1 and 17.

The apparent terminal half-life was defined as the time required for the plasma concentration of drug to decrease 50% in the final stage of its elimination.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUC[0-inf])Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1 and Week 3; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1 and 17.

The AUC(0-inf) was estimated by determining the total area under the curve of the concentration versus time curve extrapolated to infinity.

AUC Versus Time Curve Within One Dosing Interval (AUC0-tau)Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1 and Week 3; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1 and 17.
Apparent Oral Clearance of the Drug From Plasma (CL/f)Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1.

Clearance of a drug was a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. CL/f was influenced by the fraction absorbed.

Apparent Volume of Distribution Associated to the Terminal Phase (Vz/f)Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1.

Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/f) was influenced by the fraction absorbed.

Percentage of Subjects With Overall ResponseEvery 6 Weeks until complete response or till data cut-off date 15 July 2013

Overall response was to be confirmed by complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using response evaluation criteria in solid tumours Version 1.0 (RECIST) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline.

Percentage of Subjects With Clinical BenefitEvery 6 Weeks until complete response or till data cut-off date 15 July 2013

Clinical benefit was to be confirmed by CR, PR or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 6 weeks (using RECIST v1.0) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since treatment started.
