Eligibility Criteria
- Ages
- 18 years to 65+ years (65+ Years, 18-64 Years)
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria
- •Has histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of previously untreated locally advanced unresectable or metastatic 1L gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma
- •Who are Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization

- •Has had previous therapy for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric/GEJ/esophageal adenocarcinoma
- •Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
- •Has Severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab, sacituzumab tirumotecan, or other biologic therapy, chemotherapy (ie, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, capecitabine), leucovorin, levoleucovorin, or any of their excipients
- •Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
- •Has history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
- •Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
- •Has concurrent active hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] positive and/or detectable HBV DNA) and hepatitis C virus (defined as anti-hepatitis C virus [HCV] Ab positive and detectable HCV ribonucleic acid [RNA] infection
