Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

For all patients

* Age 18 years or older at the time of signature of the informed consent.
* Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks after the start of the treatment according to the investigator's judgement
* Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential* must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3(R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information. For women of childbearing potential using a contraceptive pill, an additional barrier method is necessary due to the potential CYP3A4 inducing effect of BI894999. Male patients having a partner of childbearing potential must use condoms and ensure their partner is using a highly effective method of birth control as described above, during the trial and for at least three months after the end of the trial * Any female who has experienced menarche and does not meet the criteria for "women not of childbearing potential" as described below.

Women not of childbearing potential are defined as: women who are postmenopausal (12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause) or who are permanently sterilized (e.g., tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy).

- Written informed consent consistent with ICH-GCP and local legislation

* Age = legal age to be adult for the given country at the time of signature of the informed consent. For NC patients, age 15 years or older at the time of signature of the informed consent ( in Germany and South Korea, only legally adult patients may be included

* Male or female patients. Women of childbearing potential* must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3(R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. A list of contraception methods meeting these criteria is provided in the patient information. For women of childbearing potential using a contraceptive pill, an additional barrier method is necessary due to the potential CYP3A4 inducing effect of BI894999.

* Radiographic evidence of metastatic prostate cancer (stage M1 or D2). Distant metastases evaluable by bone scan, CT scan, or MRI within 28 days before the start of study treatment.
* PSA = 5 ng/mL (if no measurable disease by RECIST 1.1)
* Prior surgical or chemical castration with a serum testosterone of <50 ng/dL (< 1.7 nmol/L) by luteinizing hormone releasing level hormone (LHRH) agonist or antagonist, or by abiraterone or by enzalutamide or apalutamide. If the actual method of castration is LHRH agonist or antagonist, the patient must be willing to continue the use of LHRH agonist or antagonist during protocol treatment.
* Progressive disease defined as at least one of the following:

* Progressive measurable disease: using conventional solid tumour criteria RECIST 1.1
* Bone scan progression: at least two new lesions on bone scan plus a rising PSA as described in point c below
* Increasing PSA level: at least two consecutive rising PSA values over a reference value (PSA no.1) taken at least 1 week apart. A third PSA (PSA no. 3) is required to be > than PSA no. 2; if not, a fourth PSA (PSA no. 4) is required to be > to PSA no. 2

In patients with DLBCL

* Patients with histologically confirmed DLBCL who have failed 2 or more lines of systemic therapy including an anti-CD-20 therapy and an anthracycline or who are not amenable to standard therapies but have an indication for therapy as per investigator's judgement. Standard therapies may also include but are not limited to CAR-T cells therapy, depending on approved therapies in the country where the patient is treated
* ECOG Performance Status 0, 1 or 2 at the time of screening
* Measurable disease (radiated lesions do not qualify as target lesions) according to according to RECIL 2017 on the CT scan part of the FDG/PET-CT scan
