Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of AZD1775 (printed capsules) in patients with advanced solid tumours.

Detailed description: This is a Phase I, open-label, randomised, 2-period crossover design study in patients with advanced solid tumours.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of AZD1775 (printed capsules).In addition single dose safety and tolerability data will be gathered.

Patients will be screened within 28 days of Day 1 of the first treatment period (Period 1). Patients will take part in 2 randomised treatment sequences each separated by a washout period of at least 5 and no more than 14 days.

During Period 1, prior to administration of the first dose of study treatment, each patient will be randomised to 1 of 2 treatment sequences (Fasted-Fed or Fed-Fasted) to receive a single oral dose of 300 mg AZD1775 in each of the 2 treatment periods as follows:

* Fasted (Treatment A): Single dose 300 mg AZD1775, (3 x 100 mg, printed capsules).
* Fed (Treatment B): Single dose 300 mg AZD1775, (3 x 100 mg, printed capsules).

Pharmacokinetic and safety assessments will be obtained for up to 72 hours post-dose in each treatment period.

On completion of the study (ie, after collection of 72-hour PK sample and safety in period 2) patients will be evaluated per current assessments for their eligibility and interest to enrol into the open-label continued treatment access study (D6014C000007).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

For inclusion in the study patients should fulfil the following criteria:

* Read and understand the informed consent form (ICF) and given written informed consent prior to any study procedures.
* Histologically or cytologically documented, locally advanced or metastatic solid tumour, excluding lymphoma, for which standard therapy does not exist or has proven ineffective or intolerable.
