Overview
This is a phase 1 trial of the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of sacituzumab tirumotecan monotherapy, and of sacituzumab tirumotecan in combination with pembrolizumab (MK-3475) or pembrolizumab + carboplatin, in Japanese participants with advanced solid tumors or treatment-naïve advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

- Have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 within 3 days before the start of study intervention
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion. A participant who is clinically stable following treatment for these conditions (including therapeutic thoraco- or paracentesis) is eligible

- Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease including New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, prolongation of QTcF interval to >480 ms, and/or other serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within the 6 months preceding study intervention
- Received prior treatment with a TROP2-targeted ADC
- Received prior treatment with a topoisomerase I-containing ADC
- Arm 1: Has received any prior immunotherapy and was discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher irAE (except endocrine disorders that can be treated with replacement therapy) or was discontinued from that treatment due to Grade 2 myocarditis or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis
- Arms 2 and 3: Received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137)
- Arms 2 and 3: Has received prior systemic chemotherapy or other targeted or biological antineoplastic therapy for their advanced or metastatic NSCLC
- Arms 2 and 3: Has received radiation therapy to the lung that is >30 Gy within 6 months of the first dose of study intervention
- Received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before allocation
- Received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention, or radiation-related toxicities, requiring corticosteroids
- Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention
- Requires treatment with a strong inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 at least 14 days before the first dose of study intervention and throughout the study
- Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration
- Arms 2 and 3: Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study medication
- Arms 2 and 3: Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years except replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid)
- Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years

- History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, laboratory abnormality, or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study or interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder
- A severe hypersensitivity reaction to treatment a monoclonal antibody/component of the study intervention
