Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 1 through 5 apply to screening for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant periods: Criteria 1. Has histological confirmation of squamous or nonsquamous NSCLC, resectable clinical Stage II, IIIA or IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) per AJCC eighth edition guidelines (Appendix 8). No restaging is required at the time of randomization. Note: Lymph node disease requires histological confirmation if it will affect stage grouping stratification, otherwise imaging can act as a surrogate for pathological staging. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 1 through 5 apply to screening for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant periods: Criteria 2. Confirmation that EGFR-directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy (documentation of absence of tumor-activating EGFR mutations [eg, DEL19 or L858R]). Note: If participant’s tumor has a predominantly squamous histology, molecular testing for EGFR mutation is not required. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 1 through 5 apply to screening for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant periods: Criteria 3. Able to undergo surgery based on opinion of investigator after consultation with surgeon. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 1 through 5 apply to screening for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant periods: Criteria 4. Able to receive neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Note: Participants with resectable NSCLC (Criterion 1) previously treated outside the study with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy and successfully completed surgery with surgical tumor tissue sample available, may advance to screening for the pre-randomization period (see Section 1.3.3). Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 1 through 5 apply to screening for the neoadjuvant and adjuvant periods: Criteria 5. An ECOG performance status of 0 to 1 assessed within 10 days before first dose of study treatment. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 6 through 11 apply to screening for the adjuvant period only, before randomization: Criteria 6. Achieved R0 or R1 resection status (see Section 8.1.8.3 for definitions). Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 6 through 11 apply to screening for the adjuvant period only, before randomization: Criteria 7. Has not achieved pCR at surgery by local review of pathology. See Section 4.1 for definition of pCR. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 6 through 11 apply to screening for the adjuvant period only, before randomization: Criteria 8. Tumor tissue sample from surgical resection has been provided for determination of PD-L1 and TROP2 status by central vendor before randomization into the adjuvant period. Submission of additional tumor specimen from surgical resection may be required before randomization if initial tumor tissue submitted was not evaluable. Details pertaining to tumor tissue submission can be found in the Laboratory Manual. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics. Criteria 6 through 11 apply to screening for the adjuvant period only, before randomization: Criteria 9. Confirmed to be disease-free based on re-baseline radiological assessment as documented by contrast enhanced chest/abdomen/pelvis CT (or MRI) within 28 days before randomization. Note: Participants may not be randomized/allocated without BICR verification of disease-free status. Type of Participant

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience: Has received an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to study intervention administrat
