• Has undergone any major surgical procedure or experienced significant traumatic injury that has not resolved by the time of randomization
• Is receiving any other anticancer or experimental therapy. No other experimental therapies (including but not limited to chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatment, antibody therapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, vaccine therapy, or other experimental drugs) of any kind are permitted while the participant is receiving study intervention
• Has cancer outside of the oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx or oral cavity, such as nasopharyngeal, sinus, other para-nasal, or other unknown primary head and neck cancer. Has more than one primary HNSCC tumor
• Has any history of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis (past or current)
• Has cirrhosis of any stage or current unstable liver biliary disease per investigator assessment defined by the presence of ascites, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, esophageal/gastric varices, or persistent jaundice

Non-clinically significant laboratory abnormalities are not exclusionary
• Has a history or current evidence of any medical condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the study results, interfere with their participation for the full duration of the study intervention, or indicate it is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the investigator
• Previous treatment with anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor [e.g., Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4), OX-40, CD137]
