About This Trial

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both:

* High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment
* Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone.

Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread.

The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy:

* Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy
* Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy

Who Can Join?

Inclusion Criteria: The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has previously untreated high-risk, early-stage, non-metastatic (M0) breast cancer (BC), defined as any of the following combined primary tumor (T) and regional lymph node (N) staging per AJCC 8th edition criteria as assessed by the investigator based on radiological and/or clinical assessment: * cT1c, N1-N2 * cT2, N0-N2 * cT3, N0-N2 * cT4a-d, N0-N2 * The participant must have a centrally confirmed diagnosis of BC that is triple-negative or HR-low+/HER2- (defined as estrogen receptor (ER)-low+ expression in 1% to 10% cells and HER2-), as by the most recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)/College of American Pathologists (CAP) guidelines. * Provides a core needle biopsy from the primary breast tumor at screening to the central laboratory. * Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 performed within 28 days before treatment…
