1. Has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV CRC adenocarcinoma (as defined by AJCC version 8).
2. Has locally confirmed dMMR/MSI-H.
Cohort A:
3. Has been previously treated for their disease and radiographically progressed per RECIST 1.1 on or after or could not tolerate standard treatment, which must include ALL of the following agents if approved and locally available in the country where the participant is randomized:
a) Fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan and oxaliplatin.
b) With or without an anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (eg, bevacizumab)
c) At least one of the anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab or panitumumab) for RAS WT participants with left-sided tumors. Prior EGFR therapy is optional for
patients with right sided RAS WT tumors.
Cohort B:
4. Has untreated Stage IV dMMR/MSI-H CRC with no prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for this disease.
5. Is male or female and at least 18 years of age at the time of providing documented informed consent.
6. Has a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
7. Has ECOG Performance Status of 0 to 1 at Screening and within 3 days before Cycle 1 Day 1 treatment.
8. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
• Not a WOCBP
OR
• A WOCBP and uses a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure in relationship to the first dose of study intervention. Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
Has a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours for a urine test or 72 hours for a serum test before the first dose of study intervention.
If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
Abstains from breastfeeding during the study intervention period and for at least 120 days after study intervention.
Medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity has been reviewed by the investigator to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
9. The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent/assent for the study. The participant may also provide consent/assent for FBR. However, the participant may participate in the study without participating in FBR.
10. Have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the site and verified by BICR. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been shown in such lesions.
11. Submit an archival (within 5 years of Screening) or newly obtained tumor tissue sample that has not been previously irradiated; FFPE blocks are preferred to slides. If a sufficient specimen does not exist, the participant must be willing to undergo a core or excisional biopsy during Screening.
Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue. For Cohort A, sampl
1. Has received prior therapy with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, PD 1, CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137, PD-L1, ILT-4, LAG-3, TIGIT).
2. Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention.
3. If the participant had a surgery and they have not recovered adequately from the procedure and/or any complications from the surgery before starting study intervention.
4. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (=2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
5. Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention.
6. Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention.
7. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
8. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years.
9. Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, (ie, without evidence of progression) for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging, clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days before the first dose of study intervention.
10. Has severe hypersensitivity (=Grade 3) to pembrolizumab, quavonlimab, favezelimab,
vibostolimab, MK-4830, and/or any of their excipients.
11. Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
Exception: Participants with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis) may not participate, regardless of treatment history.
12. Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
13. Has a history of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
14. Has neuromuscular disorders associated with an elevated creatine kinase (eg, inflammatory myopathies, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, spinal
muscular atrophy).
15. Has urine protein =1 g/24h.
16. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy (eg, tuberculosis, known viral or bacterial infections, etc.).
17. Has a known history of HIV infection.
18. Concurrent active Hepatitis B (defined as HBsAg positive and/or detectable HBV DNA) and Hepatitis C virus (defined as anti-HCV Ab positive and detectable HCV RNA) infection.
19. Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study intervention administration, or New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure. Med
