Inclusion criteria

* Participants should weigh at least 35 kg. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 and a life expectancy of \>= 3 months. * Participant have \>= 1 lesion accessible for intratumoral injection. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed R/M HNSCC (of the following 4 subsites: oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx) who previously progressed either during or after \<= 3 prior treatment regimens administered in the recurrent or metastatic setting. * Must have received 1 immunotherapy regimen which included a PD-(L)1 inhibitor. * Must have received platinum-based therapy, or be considered ineligible for platinum-based therapy by the investigator.

Exclusion criteria

* Uncontrolled metastases to the central nervous system (CNS). * Participants with brain metastases are eligible provided that evidence of clinical and radiographic stable disease for at least 4 weeks after definitive therapy is given and participants have not used prohibited levels of steroids for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose of the study. * Received prior treatment with OX40 or toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists (excluding topical agents).

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 2 years following the first doseAn adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)Up to approximately 2 years following the first doseCBR is measured as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR), confirmed partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD)
Time to Response (TTR)Up to approximately 2 years following the first doseTTR is the time from date of first study drug exposure to the first instance of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as a confirmed response, whichever occurs first.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Up to approximately 2 years following the first dosePFS is the time from date of first study drug exposure to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to approximately 2 years following the first doseDOR is the time from the participant's initial response (CR or PR as a confirmed response) to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 2 years following the first doseORR is measured as the percentage of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as a confirmed response.
