This study has 2 parts. The first part is open to adults with different types of advanced
cancer (solid tumours). The second part is open to people with specific types of advanced
lung cancer, skin cancer, sarcoma, liposarcoma, and liver cancer. The participants get a
combination of 3 medicines called BI 907828, BI 754091, and BI 754111. BI 907828 is a
so-called MDM2 inhibitor that is being developed to treat cancer. BI 754091 and BI 754111 are
antibodies that may help the immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitors).
The purpose of the first part of the study is to find out the highest dose of BI 907828 that
the participants can tolerate in combination with BI 754091 and BI 754111. Once the best dose
of BI 907828 for the combination with BI 754091 and BI 744111 is found, it will be used in
the second part of the study.
The purpose of the second part is to see whether the combination of BI 907828 with BI 754091
and BI 744111 is able to make tumours shrink. Some participants in the second part get
combinations of 2 instead of 3 medicines: BI 754091 and BI 754111 or BI 754091 and BI 907828.
The participants are in the study as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment.
During this time, they get infusions of BI 754091 and BI 754111, and take tablets with BI
907828 every 3 weeks. The doctors check how many participants have health problems during the
study. The doctors also monitor the size of the tumour.

- Serious concomitant disease or medical condition affecting compliance with trial
requirements or which are considered relevant for the evaluation of the efficacy or
safety of the trial drug, such as neurologic, psychiatric, infectious disease or
active ulcers (gastro-intestinal tract, skin) or laboratory abnormality that may
increase the risk associated with trial participation or trial drug administration,
and in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for
entry into the trial.

events such as heart failure, hypokalaemia, congenital long QT syndrome, family
history of long QT syndrome or unexplained sudden death under 40 years-of-age, or
any concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval
- Patients with an ejection fraction (EF) <50% or the lower limit of normal of the
institutional standard will be excluded. Only in cases where the Investigator (or
the treating physician or both) suspects cardiac disease with negative effect on
the EF, will the EF be measured during screening using an appropriate method
according to local standards to confirm eligibility (e.g., echocardiogram,
multi-gated acquisition scan). A historic measurement of EF no older than 6
months prior to first administration of study drug can be accepted provided that
there is clinical evidence that the EF value has not worsened since this
measurement in the opinion of the Investigator or of the treating physician or
both.
