Part 1: Single Agent and Docetaxel/Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy: From Day 1 to Day 21 of Cycle 1 [cycle length=21 days] and Part 1: Paclitaxel Combination Therapy: From Day 1 to Day 28 of Cycle 1 [cycle length=28 days]
Part 2 (Dose Expansion): Number of Participants With AEs, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities
Up to approximately 4 years
Secondary Outcomes (10)
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): Number of Participants With AEs, SAEs, and Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities

Study Arms (7)
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): VVD-130037 Single Agent
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive ascending doses of VVD-130037, orally, once or twice daily in 21-day treatment cycles during Part 1.
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): VVD-130037 and Docetaxel Combination Therapy
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive ascending doses of VVD-130037, orally, once or twice daily along with docetaxel intravenous (IV) infusion administered once every 3 weeks in 21-day treatment cycles during Part 1.
Part 1 (Dose Escalation): VVD-130037 and Paclitaxel Combination Therapy
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive ascending doses of VVD-130037, orally, once or twice daily along with paclitaxel IV infusion administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day treatment cycle during Part 1.
Part 2 (Dose Expansion): VVD-130037 Single Agent
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive VVD-130037 at the recommended dose for expansion (RDE), orally, once or twice daily in 21-day treatment cycles during Part 2.
Part 2 (Dose Expansion): VVD-130037 and Docetaxel Combination Therapy
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive VVD-130037 at the RDE, orally, once or twice daily along with docetaxel IV infusion administered once every 3 weeks in 21-day treatment cycles during Part 2.
Part 2 (Dose Expansion): VVD-130037 and Paclitaxel Combination Therapy
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive VVD-130037 at the RDE, orally, once or twice daily along with paclitaxel IV infusion administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day treatment cycle during Part 2.
Experimental: Part 2 (Dose Expansion): VVD-130037 and Pembrolizumab Combination Therapy
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will first be evaluated in a safety-run in cohort to determine the RDE(s). Participants will then receive VVD-130037 at the RDE, orally, once or twice daily along with pembrolizumab IV infusion administered once every 3 weeks in 21-day treatment cycles during Part 2.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable solid tumor.
- Measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as assessed by the Investigator.
- Have progressed on or after all prior standard-of-care therapies for metastatic disease.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1.
- Adequate organ and marrow function as defined in the protocol.

- Participants with advanced sqNSCLC must be refractory to or have progressed on or after a platinum-based doublet regimen and an immune checkpoint inhibitor.
- Participants with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) must have received prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (for tumors with known programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] expression, microsatellite instability-high, or mismatch repair deficiency, and an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor agent) (Combination Expansion Cohort).
- Participants with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) must have received prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, an immune checkpoint inhibitor (for tumors with known PD-L1 expression) (Combination Expansion Cohort).
- Participants with a known driver mutation, including activating epidermal growth factor receptor mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangements, should have progressed after appropriate targeted treatment.
- Participants with known human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 overexpression should have progressed after appropriate targeted treatment.
You may not qualify if:

- KEAP1 nonsense mutation (any position)
- KEAP1 frameshift mutation (any position)
- Any unresolved toxicity Grade ≥2 per CTCAE version 5.0 from previous anticancer treatment.
- Current or prior treatment with anti-epileptic medications for the treatment or prophylaxis of seizures.
- History of seizure or condition that may predispose to seizure.
- History or presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or spinal cord compression.
- Uncontrolled arterial hypertension despite optimal medical management.
- Risk factors for abnormal heart rhythm/QT prolongation as defined in the protocol.
- History of the following cardiac diseases:
- i) congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class \>II), ii) unstable angina, iii) new onset angina within past 6 months, iv) myocardial Infarction within the past 6 months, v) clinically significant arrhythmias within past 6 months.
