A Phase 1/2A Dose Escalation Study of LAM561 in Adult Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours Including Malignant Glioma

This is an open label, non-randomized study in patients with advanced solid tumours including malignant glioma. The study will be performed in two phases - a dose escalation phase following a standard "3+3" design to establish dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and a safe dose of LAM561 followed by two expanded safety cohorts (approximately 10 of whom have malignant glioma and approximately 10 of whom have other advanced solid tumours that are suitable for biopsy) treated at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). If the MTD is well tolerated in the expanded safety cohorts, that dose becomes the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). During each dose cohort, at least one week must elapse between the first and subsequent patients receiving treatment with LAM561. Patients may receive palliative localized radiotherapy, if needed (however, this lesion cannot be a target lesion for evaluation of the treatment response). Safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and efficacy will be evaluated during the study at pre-defined timepoints
