Conditions
Small-Cell Lung Cancer, Neuroendocrine CarcinomaSummary
This study will investigate the maximum tolerated dose, the recommended dose for expansion (RDE), safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of MK-6070 alone, MK-6070 with Atezolizumab and MK-6070 with I-DXd in participants with advanced cancers associated with expression of Delta-like Canonical Notch Ligand 3 (DLL3).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
* Has a histologically or cytologically confirmed malignancy associated with expression of Delta-like Canonical Notch Ligand 3 (DLL3)
* Has small cell lung cancer (SCLC) which is relapsed/refractory following at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy that included platinum-based chemotherapy
* Has Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer (NEPC; de novo or treatment-emergent) which is relapsed/refractory to standard systemic therapy
* Has high-grade neuroendocrine tumor types other than SCLC and NEPC, with at least one of the following:
* Disease that is relapsed/refractory to standard systemic therapy
* Disease for which standard therapy does not exist
* Disease for which standard therapy is not considered appropriate by the Investigator
* Must be able to provide archival tissue sample or fresh biopsy tissue sample
Exclusion Criteria:
The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
* Has untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases
* Has a glioma or other primary CNS malignancy
* Has spinal cord compression or symptomatic/uncontrolled epidural disease
* Has a history of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage
* Has active neurologic paraneoplastic syndrome
* Has uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (e.g., biweekly or more frequently)

HCV with undetectable virus after treatment are eligible. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) with undetectable viral load by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are eligible.
* Has uncontrolled infection with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-1 or HIV-2. Well-controlled HIV are eligible.
* Has a history of allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid-organ transplant
* Has had treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents (including, but not limited to, interferon and IL-2) within 4 weeks or 5 drug-elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to initiation of study treatment
* Has a history of severe anaphylactic reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
* Has a history of interstitial lung disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT). History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field is permitted
* Has had treatment with other investigational drug within 3 weeks of scheduled dosing (or 5 half-lives of drug, whichever is shorter)
