Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab co-formulated with hyaluronidase
Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab

Experimental: Arm A: MK-3475A SC ?Pembrolizumab IV - In the treatment crossover period, participants will receive MK-3475A SC followed by pembrolizumab IV. After completion of the treatment crossover period, participants will enter the treatment continuation period, where they will receive their preferred intervention for up to \~1 year for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and melanoma and for up to \~2 years for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Active comparator: Arm B: Pembrolizumab IV?MK-3475A SC - In the treatment crossover period, participants will receive pembrolizumab IV followed by MK-3475A SC. After completion of the treatment crossover period, participants will enter the treatment continuation period, where they will receive their preferred intervention for up to \~1 year for RCC and melanoma and for up to \~2 years for NSCLC.


Treatment: Other: Pembrolizumab co-formulated with hyaluronidase
