- who present with recurrent/refractory disease after they received at least one prior standard treatment regimen and for whom no effective conventional therapy exists
- Dose finding part: patients with a diagnosis of HGG, DIPG, low grade astrocytoma, neuroblastoma, ependymoma, medulloblastoma/PNET, RMS, and/or solid tumours with known ErbB pathway deregulation regardless of tumour histology.
- MTD expansion cohorts/Phase II part: Patients with HGG, DIPG, EM and other solid tumours than aforementioned which fulfil at least two of the below criteria:
