Participants with malignant mesothelioma must have prior exposure to at least immune checkpoint therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy. 4. Presence of at least one evaluable lesion in Part 1 or one measurable target lesion in Part 2 according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) for participants with non-pleural mesothelioma or other solid tumors and modified RECIST (mRECIST) v1.1 for participants with malignant pleural mesothelioma. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) ≤1. 6. Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks as judged by the investigator. 7.

Participants who have previously received a TEAD inhibitor. 2. Participation in other therapeutic clinical studies within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to first dose of study treatment. 3.

Have prior or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical condition, surgical history, physical finding, laboratory abnormality or any other conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, would not be in the best interest of the participant; or that could alter the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the study treatment; or impair the assessment of study result. 8. Currently receiving any of Strong inhibitors or inducers of P-gp, or Sensitive substrates of P-gp, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP3A4 that cannot be discontinued 14 days or 5 half-lives for inhibitors or substrates (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study treatment.
