Researchers are looking for other ways to treat metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Squamous NSCLC is cancer that starts in squamous cells, which are flat cells that line the inside of the airways in the lungs. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for metastatic squamous NSCLC is immunotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy is medicine that destroys cancer cells or stops them from growing. However, standard treatment may not work or may stop working to treat metastatic squamous NSCLC. Researchers want to learn if study treatments that are antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) can treat metastatic squamous NSCLC that did not respond (get smaller or go away) to standard treatment. An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The main goals of this study are to learn about: * The cancer response to the study treatments compared to chemotherapy * The safety of the study treatments and if people tolerate them This study is one of the substudies being conducted under one pembrolizumab umbrella master protocol (MK-3475-U01/KEYMAKER-U01).

The purpose of this substudy is to assess the efficacy and safety of ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), given alone or with other treatments in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The goals of this study are to learn about: * The safety of the study treatment and if people tolerate it. * A safe dose level of I-DXd that can be used with other treatments. * Participant levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) during treatment.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy.
Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both: * High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment * Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy: * Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy * Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy
Researchers want to know if sacituzumab tirumotecan given alone or with pembrolizumab can treat triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The main goal of this study is to learn if people treated with sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with pembrolizumab live longer overall or without the cancer growing or spreading compared to people treated with chemotherapy.
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Relapsed means the cancer came back after treatment. High-grade means the cancer cells grow and spread quickly. Serous means the cancer started in the cells that cover the ovaries, the lining of the belly, or in the fallopian tubes. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for people with relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer may include: * Chemotherapy, which is a treatment that uses medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing * Targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread Raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) is a study treatment that is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers want to know if R-DXd is safe to take with other treatments and if people tolerate them together. They also want to learn how many people have the cancer respond (gets smaller or goes away) to the treatments.
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). ESCC is a type of cancer that starts in certain cells that line the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach. This study will look at ESCC that is either locally advanced unresectable, which means it has spread into tissue near where it started and cannot be completely removed by surgery, or metastatic, which means it has spread to other body parts. Available treatments for these types of ESCC include pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Chemotherapy is medicine that destroys cancer cells or stops them from growing. Researchers want to learn about giving pembrolizumab and investigational agents, with or without chemotherapy to treat ESCC. Ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd), is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The main goal of this study is to learn about the safety of investigational agents and pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy and if people tolerate them. Researchers also want to learn how cancer responds (gets smaller or goes away) to the study treatments.
The purpose of this trial is to assess if ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) can treat esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). I-DXd is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. The goal of this trial is to learn how many participants who receive I-DXd have the cancer respond, which means the cancer gets smaller or goes away.
