Study Summary

This trial is testing two cancer treatments to see if they can help the immune system fight the disease. one of the treatments is being given to humans for the first time. The study will last for up to two years and eight months, during which time patients will visit the study site regularly to document any side effects and check for health improvements.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors where previous treatments failed. Participants must have at least one tumor suitable for injection and another that can be biopsied, excluding the brain, mediastinum or pancreas. They should have no other treatment options left, good organ function, and be able to undergo all trial procedures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two immune system-boosting medicines: BI 1387446 (injected into the tumor) and BI 754091 (infused into a vein). The goal is to find the highest tolerable dose of BI 1387446 alone or combined with BI 754091. Treatment can continue up to nearly three years if beneficial.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical immune-related reactions such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions from the drugs entering your body through a vein, fatigue, possible infection risks due to immune system changes, and any general discomfort associated with injections.
