Overview
Brief Summary
This study is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or the relevant biological dose (RBD) in the absence if a MTD of a new drug BI 836845 which blocks the insulin-like 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
Part 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) 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
In the absence of MTD, the relevant biological dose (RBD) of BI 836845 during the first treatment course of the dose escalation phase was reported. The MTD was defined as the highest dose level of BI 836845 at which no more than 1 out of 6 patients experienced a drug related dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first course of treatment. Starting dose of 10 milligrams (mg) BI 836845, administered thrice every 3 weeks. Dose levels evaluated were: 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, 135 mg, 200 mg, 300 mg, 450 mg, 600 mg, 800 mg, 1050 mg, 1400 mg and 1800 mg. The BI 836845 dose which could achieve a plateau in total Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) plasma concentrations was considered the RBD.
Part 1: Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) During the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Evaluation Period
Time Frame: During the first course of treatment, up to 21 days
Number of participants with DLTs occurring during the first treatment course of the dose escalation part. DLT was defined as drug-related adverse events meeting the criteria summarized below: * Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) grade 4 neutropenia for ≥ 7 days (d) * Febrile neutropenia with single temperature of \> 38.3°C/ ≥ 38°C more than 1 hour (h) * Documented infection with high neutrophile count * CTCAE grade 4 thrombocytopenia/CTCAE grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding requiring transfusion * AST (Aspartate Amino Transferase)/ALT (Alanine Amino Transferase) \> 5x normal * CTCAE grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicity * CTCAE grade ≥2 infusion reaction * CTCAE grade ≥2 nausea and/or vomiting for ≥7 d * CTCAE grade ≥3 skin toxicity * CTCAE grade ≥3 hyperglycemia * Any electrolyte grade 3 AE * No recovery from non-DLT CTCAE grade \>2 * Sustained fatigue/asthenia grade 3 for longer than 96 h * Other event qualified as DLT by the investigator
