Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Researchers want to learn if sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) alone or with other treatments can treat certain gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The GI cancers being studied are either advanced (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body), or unresectable (the cancer cannot be removed with surgery). The goals of this study are to learn:

* About the safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with other treatments and if people tolerate it
* How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan + Chemotherapy

Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan in one of two dose levels and chemotherapy every 2 weeks (Day 1 and Day 15 of every 4-week cycle). Participants will continue to receive the treatment until the cancer gets worse or they don't tolerate treatment.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sacituzumab tirumotecan

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Given by IV infusion.

Fluorouracil (5-FU)

Intervention Type DRUG

5-FU is administered by IV infusion over 46 to 48 hours every 2 weeks.

Leucovorin (LV) or levoleucovorin

Intervention Type DRUG

LV or levoleucovorin is administered by IV infusion every 2 weeks.

Rescue medication

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants receive the following rescue medications, per approved product label, as premedication to study treatment to prevent hypersensitivity and/or infusion reactions: diphenhydramine (or equivalent histamine-1 \[H1\] receptor antagonist), H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, and dexamethasone or equivalent infusion. A steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent) will be given as prophylaxis for stomatitis/oral mucositis.

Supportive care measures

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures for the management of adverse events associated with study intervention at the discretion of the investigator. Supportive care measures may include but are not limited to antidiarrheal agents and antiemetic agents. Artificial tear drops or gel may be given as supportive care for Ocular Surface Toxicity.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan

Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan in one of two dose levels every 2 weeks (Day 1 and Day 15 of every 4-week cycle). Participants will continue to receive the treatment until the cancer gets worse or they don't tolerate treatment.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan + Cisplatin + Pembrolizumab

Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan in one of two dose levels on Day 1 and Day 8 of every 3-week cycle until the cancer gets worse or they don't tolerate treatment, cisplatin on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 3-week cycle for up to 8 cycles (up to approximately 6 months), and pembrolizumab on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to approximately 2 years.
