About this trial
This study will assess if adding sacituzumab tirumotecan with pembrolizumab after surgery is effective in treating NSCLC for participants not achieving pathological complete response. The primary hypothesis of this study is sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab is superior to pembrolizumab monotherapy with respect to disease free survival (DFS) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).

Gemcitabine
DrugGemcitabine will be administered in the neoadjuvant phase as 1000 mg/m\^2 or 1250 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on day 1 and day 8 q3w for up to 24 weeks as background treatment in participants with squamous NSCLC.

Rescue medication
DrugParticipants are permitted to take rescue medications to prevent hypersensitivity and/or infusion reactions as a premedication to study treatment. Rescue medications include antihistamine, H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, dexamethasone or equivalent, and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. A steroid mouthwash (dexamethasone or equivalent) may be given as prophylaxis for stomatitis/oral mucositis.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
DFS is defined as the time from randomization to any recurrence (local, locoregional, regional or distant), occurrence of new primary NSCLC, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) as assessed by investigator
DMFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented distant metastasis or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Distant metastasis refers to cancer that has spread from the original (primary) tumor to distant organs or distant lymph nodes.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) as assessed by investigator
DFS is defined as the time from randomization to any recurrence (local, locoregional, regional or distant), occurrence of new primary NSCLC, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Lung Cancer Specific Survival (LCSS)
LCSS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to lung cancer.
