2. Histopathologically- or cytologically-documented, advanced primary or recurrent solid tumor that has not responded to an adequate course of available therapy, that has progressed or recurred despite an adequate course of available therapy, that is not curable by available therapy or for which no accepted standard therapy exists

3. Ability to comply with visits/procedures required by the protocol. Subjects enrolled in this trial must be treated at a participating center

4. A life expectancy of >3 months

5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of <= 2 at study entry

6. Adequate hematologic function, as defined by:

an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/mm3 a hemoglobin level >=8.5 gm/dL a platelet count >=100,000/mm3

7. Adequate hepatic function, as defined by:

a total bilirubin level <= 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN); aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels <= 2.5 x the ULN or <= 5 x the ULN if known liver metastases

8. Adequate renal function, as defined by:

a serum creatinine (Scr) <= 1.5 mg/dL for male subjects; Scr <= 1.40 mg/dL for female subjects Calculated creatine clearance > 60 mL/min based on Cockcroft-Gault formula

9. Subjects must be recovered from the effects of any prior anti-neoplastic therapy. The ongoing adverse events due to these therapies must be <=Grade 1 prior to entering the study. At least 5 half-lives should have elapsed for any investigational agents prior to the administration of study medication

10. Subjects with central nervous system (CNS) metastases are eligible for enrollment if they have received prior radiotherapy and/or surgery to site(s) of CNS metastatic disease, have been off glucocorticoids for at least 4 weeks, are not taking anticonvulsants, and have no overt evidence of neurological deficit

WOCBP include females who have experienced menarche and who have not undergone successful sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, or bilateral oophorectomy) or are not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea >= 12 consecutive months)

13. Male subjects must be willing to use an appropriate method of contraception (e.g., condoms) or abstain from sexual intercourse and inform any sexual partners that they must also use a reliable method of contraception (e.g., birth control pills) during the study and for 90 days following the last dose of KW-2450

14. WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of receiving study medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

• any diabetic complication (cataract, retinopathy, nephropathy, etc.).

3. Subjects showing clinical evidence or with a history of cataract(s) or retinopathy

4. Abnormal free T4 values. Abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) values at enrollment will be further evaluated by free T4. Subjects with abnormal free T4 values and a history or evidence of thyroid disease will be excluded.

12. Prolonged QT intervals or any clinically significant abnormalities on ECG

13. A history of prior treatment with other agents specifically targeting IGFRs

14. Subjects who require pharmacological doses of glucocorticoids beyond replacement doses. The use of topical, intra-ocular or inhalation glucocorticoids is permitted
