Abstract

The present disclosure relates to spiro-fused tetrahydroquinazoline compounds, to the compounds for use as a medicine, more in particular for the prevention or treatment of diseases mediated by activity of YAP/TAZ-TEAD transcription, yet more in particular for the prevention or treatment of cancer or fibrosis. The present disclosure also relates to a method for the prevention or treatment of diseases comprising the use of the compounds. The present disclosure furthermore relates to pharmaceutical compositions or combination preparations of the compounds as well as to compositions or preparations for use as a medicine, more preferably for the prevention or treatment of diseases mediated by activity of YAP/TAZ-TEAD transcription, yet more in particular for the prevention or treatment of cancer or fibrosis. The present disclosure also relates to processes for the preparation of compounds.
