This is a phase 1/2A, open label, non-randomized study in 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

Patients will receive treatment cycles of 21 days, until any criterion for discontinuation (clinical or radiological progression of disease, clinically unacceptable toxicity, or another "general" discontinuation criterion) is met. Patients are expected to receive between one and 6 cycles of treatment. The treatment period may be extended if clinical benefit is shown. In the event of significant GI toxicity, the treatment schedule may be modified from continuous dosing to an intermittent regime In the case of toxicity, the dose of LAM561 may be reduced or delayed by up to 14 days at the discretion of the Investigator. A maximum of two dose reductions will be permitted per patient. Treatment "holidays" of no more than 14 days are also permitted for reasons other than toxicity. Intra-patient dose escalation may be permitted in certain specific circumstances.

Number of patients with adverse events
All adverse events will be recorded including clinically significant physical examinations and vital signs, laboratory safety tests and 12-lead electrocardiograms
Time frame: From the first dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of study drug
Concentration of LAM561 in blood measured by LC-MS/MS
Full profiles on Day 1 and Day 21 (dose escalation phase only), trough measurements on Day 8, 15 and 21
Time frame: 21 days
Concentration of biomarkers in blood or tumour tissue
Effect on glial fibrillary acidic protein in glioma patients and effect on sphingomyelin and dihydrofolate reductase in patients with other solid tumours
Time frame: First 22 days then every 9 cycles until any criterion for discontinuation is met (clinical or radiological progression of disease, clinically unacceptable toxicity, or another "general" discontinuation criterion)
Concentration of micro RNA in blood
Blood samples for future analysis of micro RNA
Time frame: First 22 days then every 9 cycles until any criterion for discontinuation is met (clinical or radiological progression of disease, clinically unacceptable toxicity, or another "general" discontinuation criterion)
Radiological disease progression
Measurement by CT or MRI scan. Changes scored according to Response Assessment in Neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria (for glioma patients) or Response evaluation criteria in solid tumours (RECIST v1.1) (for other solid tumour patients).
Time frame: Every 6 weeks until any criterion for discontinuation is met (clinical or radiological progression of disease, clinically unacceptable toxicity, or another "general" discontinuation criterion)
