For all patients
Age 18 years or older at the time of signature of the informed consent.

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).

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:
* 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.
