Brief summary

This is a Phase I, non-randomized, uncontrolled, open-label, dose escalating study of BI 836880 administered intravenously. The eligible patient population will be patients with advanced solid tumours. At any time during the trial, it will not be permitted to escalate to a dose which does not fulfil the escalation with overdose control (EWOC) criterion

Inclusion criteria

* Age \>= 18 years * Histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy which is locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor, and either refractory after standard therapy for the disease or for which standard therapy is not reliably effective, e.g. they do not tolerate or have contraindications to otherwise available standard therapy and tumour lesions evaluable for Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI at MTD. * ECOG performance status \<= 2 * Adequate hepatic, renal and bone marrow functions * Signed written informed consent. * Life expectancy min. 3 months in the opinion of the investigator * Recovery from all reversible adverse events of previous anti-cancer therapies to baseline or CTCAE grade 1, except for alopecia (any grade) sensory peripheral neuropathy CTCAE grade \<= 2 or considered not clinically significant. * adequate contraception by male and female patient during the trial and for at least 6 months after end of treatment.

Exclusion criteria

* Known hypersensitivity to the trial drugs or their excipients * Current or prior treatment with any systemic anti-cancer therapy either within 28 days or a minimum of 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter of trial onset. * Serious concomitant disease, especially those affecting compliance with trial requirements or which are considered relevant for the evaluation of the endpoints of the trial drug * Major injuries and/or surgery or bone fracture within 4 weeks of start of treatment, or planned surgical procedures during the trial period. * patients with personal or family history of QT prolongation and/or long QT syndrome, or prolonged QTcF at baseline (\> 470 ms). QTcF will be calculated by Investigator as the mean of the 3 ECGs taken at screening. * Significant cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases (i.e. uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, history of infarction within past 6 months, congestive heart failure \> NYHA II). Uncontrolled hypertension defined as: blood pressure in rested and relaxed condition \>=140 mmHg systolic, or \>=90 mmHg diastolic (with or without medication), measured according to protocol. * History of severe haemorrhagic or thromboembolic event in the past 12 months (excluding central venous catheter thrombosis and peripheral deep vein thrombosis). * Known inherited predisposition to bleeding or to thrombosis in the opinion of the investigator. * Patient with brain metastases that are symptomatic and/or require therapy. * Patients who require full-dose anticoagulation (according to local guidelines). * Active alcohol or drug abuse in the opinion of the investigator. * Patients who are under judicial protection and patients who are legally institutionalized. * Patients unable or unwilling to comply with protocol * Women who are pregnant, nursing, or who plan to become pregnant while in the trial

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)Up to 3 weeks after the first administration of trial medication.Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the highest dose with less than 25% risk of the true dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate being above 0.33 during the MTD evaluation period, defined as 3 weeks after first administration of trial medication (i.e. cycle 1). Patients who did not complete the MTD evaluation period for reasons other than DLT were excluded from the analysis of the primary endpoint.
Number of Patients With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) in the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) PeriodUp to 3 weeks after the first administration of trial medication.DTLs are defined as followed: * Drug-related Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥3 non-haematological toxicity * CTCAE Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>7 days or complicated by infection (please note that in case of grade 4 neutropenia a more frequent follow up of patient was necessary * Febrile neutropenia of CTCAE Grade ≥3 * CTCAE Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or CTCAE Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding * Treatment delay for \>2 weeks due to unresolved drug-related AEs, which started within 3 weeks after the first treatment * Hypertension: increase of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 15 millimetre of mercury (mmHg) confirmed by a second measurement or by ambulatory blood pressure measurement (when indicated, e.g. white coat effect) which could not be controlled by hypertensive medication and required a dose reduction of BI 836880 for further treatment cycle * Proteinuria: urinary protein ≥3.5 gram/day (CTCAE Grade 3)

Recruitment details

A non-randomized, open-label, multi-center dose escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose of BI 836880 in patients with advanced or metastatic/refractory solid tumours.

Pre-assignment details

All subjects were screened for eligibility prior to participation in the trial. Subjects attended a specialist site which ensured that they (the subjects) strictly met all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Subjects were not to be allocated to a treatment group if any of the entry criteria were violated.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the highest dose with less than 25% risk of the true dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rate being above 0.33 during the MTD evaluation period, defined as 3 weeks after first administration of trial medication (i.e. cycle 1). Patients who did not complete the MTD evaluation period for reasons other than DLT were excluded from the analysis of the primary endpoint.
