- No known HER2 mutations based on available testing results (if approved or if validated locally).
Note: Participants with a mixed histological morphology are eligible if the tumor is predominantly adenocarcinoma. Mixed tumors will be classified according to the predominant cell type.
4. No prior systemic anticancer therapy for advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. Participants who have received adjuvant or pre-adjuvant therapy other than the following treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) (i.e., anti-PD-1/PD-L1) or platinum-based regimens, are eligible if the last dose of adjuvant/pre-adjuvant therapy was administered at least 6 months prior to the date of the first trial dose, and their condition has not worsened within 6 months of the date of the last dose of adjuvant/pre-adjuvant therapy.
a. Any chemotherapy agent containing a target type I topoisomerase, including ADCs.
b. HER2-targeted antibody-based anticancer therapy.
5. Sufficient tumor tissue specimens (previously un-radiated) are available for assessment of HER2 and PD-L1 performance by the central or trial commissioner-designated laboratory. If a participant's most recent stock of tumor tissue specimens is unavailable, new sections are required.
6. The tumor exhibits HER2 overexpression, confirmed by the central or trial commissioner-designated laboratory using the Daiichi Sankyo-specified HER2 assay.
7. The tumor's PD-L1 TPS is <50%, confirmed by the central laboratory using the PD-L1 22C3 PharmDx assay.
8. The East Coast Cancer Clinical Research Cooperative (ECOG) performance status (PS) assessed 7 days prior to randomization is 0 or 1.
9. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% within 28 days prior to randomization. 10. Adequate organ and bone marrow function must be maintained for 14 days prior to randomization. No transfusions (red blood cells [RBC] or platelets) or administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) are permitted within 14 days prior to or after the day of bone marrow function assessment and before day 1 of cycle 1.
• Adequate organ/bone marrow function is defined as follows:
• Adequate bone marrow function: Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3; Heme >9.0 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L (must be ineligible for erythropoietin and must be achieved without pRBC transfusion within the last 2 weeks); Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3
• Adequate renal function: Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥60 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
• Adequate liver function: Alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤5 times ULN for participants with liver metastases); Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤1.5 times ULN; or for total bilirubin (TBL)... Participants with a ULN >1.5 times are defined as having direct bilirubin ≤ULN and serum albumin ≥2.5 g/dL.
• Adequate coagulation function: prothrombin time (PT)/international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT); ≤1.5 times ULN, unless the participant is receiving anticoagulation therapy, provided that PT/INR or aPTT/PTT is within the therapeutic range expected for the anticoagulant.
11. Sufficient treatment washout period before randomization/admission is defined as follows:
• Major surgery ≥4 weeks
• Radiation therapy, including palliative stereotactic radiotherapy to the chest ≥4 weeks
• Palliative stereotactic radiotherapy to other anatomical regions ≥2 weeks

13. Participants who are female fertile (POCBP) are eligible to participate if they meet the following criteria:
• Confirmed not pregnant by a highly sensitive pregnancy test.
• Not breastfeeding during the trial intervention and for at least 7 months after the last dose of the trial intervention.
• Participants agree to adhere to highly effective contraception and agree not to donate eggs (ovaries, oocytes) or freeze/store eggs during the intervention and for at least the washout period required after the last dose of the trial intervention. The required duration of continuous contraception after the last dose of the trial intervention is 7 months. Egg preservation may be considered before the first dose of the trial intervention.
Male partners of POCBPs who are capable of producing sperm (using hormonal contraception) should use barrier contraception in addition to the treatment intervention and for 7 months after the last dose of the trial intervention. For participants receiving pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, carboplatin, and cisplatin, the trial unit should follow local instructions or institutional guidelines.
13. Male participants capable of producing sperm are eligible to participate if they agree to adhere to the following requirements during the intervention and at least for the duration required to wash out the trial intervention. The required duration of continuous contraception after the last dose of the trial intervention is 4 months.
• Avoid donating sperm.
Note: Sperm preservation should be considered before enrollment/randomization for this trial.
• Follow any of the following methods of contraception:
- Abstain from penile-vaginal intercourse, provided this is in line with the participant's preference and usual lifestyle, or
- Use a penile/external condom during penile-vaginal intercourse with a fertile non-participant, and the partner should use additional contraception, as condoms may break or leak.
The use of contraception should comply with local regulations regarding contraception methods for these clinical trial participants. If the contraceptive requirements for any trial intervention in the local instructions are more stringent than those above, the requirements in the local instructions should be followed.
Note: If a participant is azoospermic (due to vasectomy or medical reasons, confirmed by review of the participant's medical records, medical examinations, or medical history interviews by the trial unit personnel), contraception is not required.
14. Participants must be willing and able to adhere to scheduled follow-up appointments, medication administration plans, laboratory tests, other trial procedures, and trial restrictions.
15. Participants with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases may participate if they do not require steroid or antiepileptic drug treatment for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of the trial intervention (Note: prophylactic antiepileptic drugs are permitted). Participants who have previously received treatment for brain metastases may participate, provided they are clinically and radiographically stable (i.e., without evidence of deterioration) for at least 4 weeks after the completion of radiation therapy, as confirmed by repeat imaging during the trial screening period.
