About this study

In plain language

This study tests sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870), alone or with other treatments, for certain cancers of the digestive system that have spread or cannot be removed with surgery. Researchers want to see how safe the treatment is, how well people handle it, and whether it shrinks or clears the cancer.

Researchers want to learn if sacituzumab tirumotecan (MK-2870) alone or with other treatments can treat certain gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The GI cancers being studied are either advanced (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body), or unresectable (the cancer cannot be removed with surgery). The goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan alone or with other treatments and if people tolerate it * How many people have the cancer respond (get smaller or go away) to treatment

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
