- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Baseline to the date of first documented progression or initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy or approximatively 9 months after the last participant receive first dose ]Objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), derived based on Investigator's assessment per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for Cohort A1, Cohort A2, and Cohort B1; per modified RECIST (mRECIST) for Cohort C1.

- Time to response [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months ]Time to response (TTR) defined as the time from the first administration of investigational medicinal product (IMP) to the first tumor assessment at which the overall response was recorded as PR or CR that is subsequently confirmed and determined by investigator per RECIST 1.1 (for NSCLC) or mRECIST (for mesothelioma)
- Duration of response [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months ]Duration of response (DoR), defined as the time from first tumor assessment at which the overall response was recorded as PR or CR that is subsequently confirmed until progressive disease (PD) determined by investigator per RECIST 1.1 (for NSCLC) or mRECIST (for mesothelioma) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Clinical benefit rate [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months ]Clinical benefit rate (CBR) including CR or PR at any time plus stable disease (SD) of at least 6 months (per RECIST 1.1 [for NSCLC] or mRECIST [for mesothelioma]).
- Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the date of first dose until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 36 months ]Progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the date of first IMP administration to the date of the first documented disease progression as per RECIST 1.1 for NSCLC) or mRECIST (for mesothelioma) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first
- To assess the plasma concentrations of SAR444245 [ Time Frame: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3 of Cycle1, at Day 1 of Cycle 2-4-7-10 + every 5th cycle (each cycle is 21 days), maximum is up to approximately 24 months ]
