This is a phase 3 study of pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin/taxane (paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel) followed by pembrolizumab with or without maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT; MK-2870) in first-line treatment of metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer. It is hypothesized that pembrolizumab with maintenance sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to pembrolizumab without sacituzumab tirumotecan maintenance with respect to overall survival (OS).
All participants undergo an initial induction phase of four cycles, each cycle consisting of pembrolizumab q3w + carboplatin q3w + paclitaxel q3w or nabpaclitaxel weekly. Participants are then randomly assigned to pembrolizumab maintenance vs. pembrolizumab + sac-TMT maintenance.
Intravenous (IV) infusion
IV infusion
Participants receive AUC 6 or AUC 5 mg/mL/min IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles as background therapy during the study.
Participants receive 200 mg/m\^2 or 175 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles as background therapy during the study.
Participants receive 100 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles as background therapy during the study.
