Inclusion Criteria

In patients with solid tumours
1.confirmed diagnosis of advanced unresectable and/or metastatic, malignant solid tumour, which failed conventional treatment or with no therapy of proven efficacy, or not amenable to standard therapies
2.Age = adult legal age for the given country when signature of informed consent (ICF). For NC patients = 15 years when ICF (only adults in Germany and South Korea)
3.Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0 or 1 at the time of screening (up to 2 in NC)
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
6.both genders. Women of childbearing potential ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3(R2)
7.Written ICF. For adolescent NC patients aged 15 to legal adult age, assent and ICF of the parents or legal guardian
8.Optional 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 NC
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 an EGFR inhibitor in RAS WT mCRC.
11.Have a measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 (for NC 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 (not needed for NC patients) 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 NC 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 bone scan plus a rising PSA as descr
