• Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
• Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
• Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease
• Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
• Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study treatment administration, or New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure
• Has a known history of HIV infection
• Has a known history of Hepatitis B or known active Hepatitis C virus infection
• Has had major surgery <3 weeks before the first dose of study treatment
• Is expected to require any other form of antineoplastic therapy while on study
• Has received prior radiation therapy to the lung that is >30 Gray (Gy) within 6 months of the first dose of study treatment
• Has received a live vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study treatment
• Has received any prior immunotherapy and was discontinued from that treatment due to a severe or worse immune-related adverse event (irAE)
• Has had chemotherapy or biological cancer therapy within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment or has not recovered to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Grade 1 or better from the AEs due to cancer therapeutics administered more than 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment (including participants who had previous immunomodulatory therapy with residual irAEs)
• Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment
• Previously had a severe hypersensitivity reaction to treatment with monoclonal antibodies (including pembrolizumab) and/or any of their excipients
• 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 study treatment
• Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant

*Substudy 1 Only:

• Has symptomatic ascites or pleural effusion (if receiving pemetrexed)
• Has a history or current evidence of a gastrointestinal (GI) condition (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) or impaired liver function or diseases that in the opinion of the investigator may significantly alter the absorption or metabolism of oral medications
• Is getting chemotherapy and has clinically active diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, GI obstruction, or peritoneal carcinomatosis
• Has pre-existing neuropathy that is moderate in intensity
• Is unable to interrupt aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), other than aspirin dose less than or equal to 1.3 gm/day for a 5-day period (8-day period for long acting agents such as peroxicam), for participants who will receive pemetrexed
