Detailed Description

The drug being tested in this study is called trebananib (AMG 386). Trebananib (AMG 386) is being tested to treat people with advanced solid tumors.

This study will look at the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of trebananib and response to treatment.

The study will enroll approximately 18 participants. Once enrolled, participants will be assigned sequentially into 1 of the 3 cohorts:

• Trebananib 3 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg),

An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (example, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. Treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or congenital anomaly; or a medically important event.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants With Best Overall Response	Best overall response for a participant is the best observed post-baseline disease response as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0 criteria. Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Partial Response (PR): at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD), taking as reference the baseline smallest sum of longest diameter; persistence of 1 or more non-target lesion(s) or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits. PD: at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline smallest sum of longest diameter or appearance of 1 or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.	Baseline, assessed every 8 weeks up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, where last dose was given up to Week 249
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response	Objective response rate defined as the rate of participants with CR or PR based on RECIST 1.0 criteria. CR: disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR: at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter.	Baseline, assessed every 8 weeks up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, where last dose was given up to Week 249
Time to Progression (TTP)	TTP is defined as the time from the date of first administration of study treatment to the date of first documentation of PD or death caused by progression. For participants who did not have a documented PD or died owing to causes other than progression, TTP was censored at the time of last response assessment. PD is defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline smallest sum of longest diameter or appearance of 1 or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.	Baseline, assessed every 8 weeks up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, where last dose was given up to Week 249
Percent Change From Baseline to Post-baseline in the Sum of the Longest Diameters of Tumor	The percent change from baseline to post-baseline is the largest percent reduction from baseline among all post-dose measures of the sum of the longest diameter of the tumor burden.	Baseline, assessed every 8 weeks up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug, where last dose was given up to Week 249
Number of Participant With Anti-AMG 386 Antibody	The immunogenicity of AMG 386 was evaluated with an immunoassay that detects anti-AMG 386 binding antibodies. Antibody formation reported at any of the time points was summarized.	Week 1: predose,1,2,6,24,48 and 98 hours after infusion end, Week 3: predose, Week 4: predose, 1,2,6,24,48,96,168 and 264 hours after infusion end, thereafter predose every 4 weeks starting from Week 8 up to 8 weeks after last dose (last dose=Week 249)
