Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab coformuation
Treatment: Drugs - Docetaxel
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Arm 1: Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab coformulation + Docetaxel - Participants receive pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (coformulation of 200 mg pembrolizumab and 200 mg vibostolimab) via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks (Q3W) for up to 35 cycles up to approximately 2 years plus docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 via IV infusion Q3W. Each cycle will be 21 days.

Experimental: Arm 2: Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab coformulation - Participants receive pembrolizumab/vibostolimab (coformulation of 200 mg pembrolizumab and 200 mg vibostolimab) via IV infusion Q3W for up to 35 cycles up to approximately 2 years. Each cycle will be 21 days.

Active comparator: Arm 3: Placebo + Docetaxel - Participants receive normal saline placebo via IV infusion Q3W for up to 35 cycles up to approximately 2 years plus docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 IV infusion Q3W. Each cycle will be 21 days.


Treatment: Other: Pembrolizumab/Vibostolimab coformuation
Pembrolizumab 200 mg + vibostolimab 200 mg/20 mL vial IV infusion Q3W up to approximately 2 years.

Treatment: Drugs: Docetaxel
Docetaxel 75 mg\^m2 IV infusion Q3W until discontinuation due to progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Docetaxel will serve as part of an experimental treatment in Arm 1, and as an active comparator in Arm 3.

Summary
Brief summary
The main purpose of this study is to compare pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation (MK-7684A) plus docetaxel or pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation to normal saline placebo plus docetaxel. Participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and progressive disease (PD) after platinum doublet chemotherapy and treatment with one prior anti- programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/ programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1) monoclonal antibody (mAb). MK-7684A is a coformulation product of pembrolizumab/vibostolimab. The dual primary hypotheses of the study are pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation plus docetaxel and pembrolizumab/vibostolimab coformulation is superior to normal saline placebo plus docetaxel 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).
