About this trial
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with urothelial cancer (UC) that is locally advanced or metastatic. The standard treatment for locally advanced or metastatic UC is enfortumab vedotin (EV) given with pembrolizumab.
The goals of this study are to learn about:
* The safety of the study treatment when given with standard treatment and if people tolerate it * The number of people who have the cancer respond (cancer gets smaller or goes away) with the new study treatment when given with standard treatment.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that experience AEs will be reported.
Number of Participants Who Experience a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
DLT will be defined as any drug-related AE observed during the DLT evaluation period that results in a change to a given dose or a delay in initiating the next treatment. The number of participants who experience a DLT as Assessed Using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 will be presented.
Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that discontinue study intervention due to an AE will be reported.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Investigator
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). The percentage of participants who experience CR or PR as assessed by Investigator will be presented.
Secondary outcomes
Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by Investigator
For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. DOR as assessed by investigator will be presented.
Serum Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of MK-3120 Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC)
Cmax is defined as the peak concentration over the dosing interval. Blood samples collected pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose will be used to determine Cmax of MK-3120 ADC.
Serum Trough Concentration (Ctrough) of MK-3120 ADC
Ctrough is defined as the trough concentration. Blood samples collected pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose will be used to determine Ctrough of MK-3120 ADC.
Serum Cmax of MK-3120 Total Antibodies (TAb)
Cmax is defined as the peak concentration over the dosing interval. Blood samples collected pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose will be used to determine Cmax of MK-3120 TAb.
