Treatment: Other - Pembrolizumab
Treatment: Other - Lenvatinib
Treatment: Drugs - Oxaliplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Capecitabine
Treatment: Drugs - Leucovorin (or Levoleucovorin)
Treatment: Drugs - 5-FU

Experimental: Lenvatinib + Pembrolizumab + Chemotherapy - Participants receive lenvatinib administered orally (PO) every day (QD) in combination with pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) every 6 weeks (Q6W) plus chemotherapy with either capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) or chemotherapy with 5-FU, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6). Induction with lenvatinib 8 mg QD plus pembrolizumab (400 mg Q6W) plus chemotherapy (CAPOX or mFOLFOX6) will be administered for 2 cycles (approximately 12 weeks), followed by consolidation with lenvatinib 20 mg QD plus pembrolizumab (400 mg Q6W) for 16 cycles. A cycle is 6 weeks (42 days).

Experimental: Chemotherapy - Participants receive chemotherapy with either CAPOX Q3W or mFOLFOX6 Q2W. A cycle is 6 weeks (42 days).


Treatment: Other: Pembrolizumab
400 mg Q6W by IV infusion

Treatment: Other: Lenvatinib
Administered PO QD, 8 mg induction/20 mg consolidation.

Treatment: Drugs: Capecitabine
1000 mg/m\^2 administered PO twice daily (BID) on Days 1-14, 22-35 of each Q6W cycle as part of CAPOX chemotherapy.

Treatment: Drugs: Leucovorin (or Levoleucovorin)
Administered by IV infusion at 400 mg/m\^2 (leucovorin) or 200 mg/m\^2 (levoleucovorin) on Day 1, and Week 1, 3 and 5 of each Q6W cycle as part of mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy.
