Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab, versus Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) in participants with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic, breast cancer. The primary hypotheses are that sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent and sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab are superior to TPC with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR) in all participants.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Has unresectable locally advanced or metastatic centrally-confirmed hormone receptor positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer - Has radiographic disease progression on one or more lines of endocrine therapy for unresectable locally advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer, with one in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor - Is a chemotherapy candidate - Has an eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1 assessed within 7 days before randomization - Has adequate organ function - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants must have well controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy - Participants who are Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received HBV antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load - Participants with a history of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable

Exclusion Criteria

  • Has breast cancer amenable to treatment with curative intent - Has experienced an early recurrence (<6 months after completing adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy) and therefore is eligible to receive second-line (2L) treatment - Has symptomatic advanced/metastatic visceral spread at risk of rapidly evolving into life-threatening complications - Has received prior chemotherapy for unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer - Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years - History of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that requires steroids, or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease - Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
