This Study in Patients With Different Types of Cancer (Solid Tumours) Aims to Find a Safe Dose of Xentuzumab in Combination With Abemaciclib With or Without Hormonal Therapies. The Study Also Tests How Effective These Medicines Are in Patients With Lung and Breast Cancer

This is a study in adult patients with different types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to find a safe dose of:

* Xentuzumab in combination with abemaciclib
* Xentuzumab in combination with abemaciclib and hormonal therapies The study also tests whether these medicines make tumours shrink in participants with lung and breast cancer.

Participants can stay in the study as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment. All participants get xentuzumab infusions and abemaciclib tablets. Participants who have breast cancer get different types of hormonal therapies in addition to xentuzumab and abemaciclib.

For all participants, the size of the tumour is measured regularly. Doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants."

A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.

Cohort A (Solid Tumours)

* Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced and/or metastatic, measurable or evaluable, non-resectable solid tumours
* Patients must have received and failed, or have been intolerant to, all treatment known to confer clinical benefit or have no therapeutic options available as deemed appropriate by their treating physician
