A Study of DKN-01 in Multiple Myeloma or Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this trial is to characterize the safety and toxicity of DKN-01 by determining a maximum-tolerated dose and associated dose limiting toxicity. To evaluate the pharmacodynamic response in patients with cancer. To characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of DKN-01 in cancer patients who are intolerant to standard/approved therapies.

Part A of this trial consists of 4 treatment arms of DKN-01. It is a dose escalation study in patients with multiple myeloma or advanced solid tumors. Patients must be refractory or intolerant to all standard/approved therapy(ies). At each dose level, 3 subjects will be treated. If none of the 3 subjects develop a dose limiting toxicity after a minimum of 4 weeks of treatment, subsequent dose escalation will proceed according to the same schedule. Part B consists of dose confirmation in patients with NSCLC. Patients must be refractory or intolerant to all standard/approved therapy(ies). Approximately 15 patients may be enrolled in Part B.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

Part A: Patients with histological or cytological confirmed multiple myeloma or advanced solid tumors. For multiple myeloma, must have symptomatic myeloma as defined by the International Myeloma Working Group inclusive of measurable serum and/or urine monoclonal protein (M-protein) or for those without elevations they must have measurable increased concentrations of free light chains

Part B: Patients with previously treated, histologically confirmed advanced NSCLC with progressive disease requiring therapy
