Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, or uncontrolled systemic diseases (i.e., diabetes, hypertension). Clinically uncontrollable diarrhea Has a chronic or active infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy, including tuberculosis infection, etc. Patients with a history of active TB infection ≥1 year prior to screening should also be excluded, unless proof can be provided that appropriate treatment has been completed. Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Clinically significant pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites requiring multiple drains within 2 weeks prior to treatment Known second primary malignancy or additional malignancy within the past 5 years (Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded) Uncontrolled diabetes or electrolyte disorder after the standard medical treatment Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Concurrent active Hepatitis B (defined as HBsAg positive and/or detectable HBV DNA) and Hepatitis C virus (defined as anti-HCV Ab positive and detectable HCV RNA) infection. Untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers with HBV DNA > 500 IU/mL and patients with positive HCV) RNA should be excluded. Note: Hepatitis B and C screening tests are not required unless: Known history of HBV and HCV infection As mandated by local health authority Has any major surgery≤28 days prior to the first dose Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation or prior organ transplantation. Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and RC48-ADC and/or any of its excipients. History of duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis, intestinal obstruction, or other conditions that may cause gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation as determined by researchers; history of intestinal perforation and fistula, but have not recovered after surgical treatment. History of arterial thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis within 6 months before enrollment, or evidence or history of bleeding tendency within 2 months before enrollment, regardless of severity History of Stroke or transient ischemic attack occurred within the first 12 months prior to enrollment. Severe ulcer or fracture of skin, surgical site, wound site and mucosa is not completely healed. Acute myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris or coronary artery bypass grafting ≤ 6 months prior to study enrolment; New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification Grade II or greater congestive heart failure. Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks, or immunotherapy (such as interleukin, interferon, thymosin), hormone therapy, targeted therapy or any research therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives prior to start of study treatment [could consider shorter interval for kinase inhibitors or other short half-life drugs] prior to allocation. Have received any Chinese herbal medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine for anticancer within 14 days prior to start of study treatment. Patients whose toxic and side effects (due to previous anticancer treatment) have not recovered to baseline or stable level, unless AE may not with safety risks (such as hair loss, neuropathy and specific laboratory abnormalities). Has received a live vaccine or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines is allowed. Has an active or chronic infection requiring systemic therapy including tuberculosis infection, etc. History of active tuberculosis infection ≥1 year before screening should also be excluded, unless proof can be provided that appropriate treatment has been completed. Note: No HIV testing is required unless mandated by local health authority. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality or other circumstance that might confound the results of the study, interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, such that it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial. Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
