Inclusion Criteria:

1. Willing and able to provide informed consent
2. ≥18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form
3. Pathologically documented histological or cytological evidence of NSCLC, HNSCC, or melanoma.
4. Has at least 1 measurable target lesion per RECIST v1.1 that has not been resected/biopsied/or irradiated before enrollment in the study
5. Diagnosis of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic NSCLC, HNSCC, or melanoma in subjects who are ICI treatment-naive or relapsed/refractory, including PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
6. ICI treatment-naive subjects must meet the following criteria:

8. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
9. Be willing to provide archival tissue or fresh biopsy
10. Have adequate organ function
11. All Grade 3 or greater AEs resolved earlier to Grade 2 or less

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Cancer type and genomic tumor aberrations:

   1. NSCLC subjects with EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations
   2. HNSCC subjects with nasopharyngeal cancer
2. For ICI refractory/relapsed subjects: Immune related AEs ≥Grade 3 that led to discontinuation of prior immune-modulatory agents including PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors
3. With uncontrolled or untreated brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease
4. Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years
5. Received a fecal transplant
6. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical study or use of another investigational agent within 30 days of study consent
7. Contraindication to IV contrast that cannot be managed with pre-medication
8. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding

14. In the judgment of the investigator, subjects unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements
15. Has active interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis or a history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with systemic steroids
16. Have allergy to clindamycin, erythromycin, and ampicillin
17. Has signs and symptoms of colitis at screening
18. Infection requiring systemic antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral therapy within 14 days before study treatment (Note: Antiviral therapy is permitted for subjects with chronic HBV or HCV infection)
19. Untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic HBV carriers with HBV DNA\>500 IU/mL (or \>2500 copies/mL) at screening (Note: Inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) carriers, treated and stable hepatitis B (HBV DNA \< 500 IU/mL or \< 2500 copies/mL) can be enrolled. Subjects with detectable HbsAg or detectable HBV DNA should be managed per treatment guidelines. Subjects receiving antivirals at screening should have been treated for \> 2 weeks before study treatment.)
20. With active hepatitis C (Note: Subjects with a negative HCV antibody test at screening or positive HCV antibody test followed by a negative HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test at screening are eligible. The HCV RNA test will be performed only for subjects testing positive for HCV antibody. Subjects receiving antivirals at screening should have been treated for \> 2 weeks before study treatment.)
21. Known history of HIV infection
22. History of active inflammatory bowel disease with diarrhea believed to be caused by active inflammatory bowel disease in the past 12 months
23. Major surgery for any reason, except diagnostic biopsy, within 4 weeks of study informed consent and or if the subject has not fully recovered from the surgery within 4 weeks of informed consent
24. History of major gastrointestinal surgery
25. History or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial
26. Currently active, clinically significant cardiovascular disease
27. Known active intravenous drug or alcohol abuse or use of other drugs of abuse
28. Has any contraindication as mentioned in the recent Keytruda, Highlights of Prescribing Information (pembrolizumab)
