Inclusion criteria

* Has histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of recurrent/metastatic oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) considered incurable by local therapies. * Has tumor PD-L1 expression with a combined proportion score (CPS) ≥1 by central testing. * HPV-positive tumor status as assessed locally by p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC). * Has measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 guidelines. * Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

Exclusion criteria

* Has primary tumor site (any histology) of any other location than oropharynx. * Has received prior systemic therapy (eg, prior chemo-, immune-, or biologic therapy) for R/M HNSCC. * Prior systemic therapy completed \>6 months prior to signing informed consent is allowed if given as part of multimodal treatment for locoregionally advanced disease with curative intent, and no PD/recurrence occurred within 6 months of its completion. Prior systemic immunotherapy with curative intent, including but not limited to anti-PD-(L)1 agents, is allowed if PD/recurrence occurred ≥12 months after its completion. * Has clinically active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Rapidly progressing disease. * Active or high risk of tumor-associated bleeding. * Current or history of immune-related disease that required systemic treatment in past 2 years, except for replacement therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate by investigator (ORRinv)From randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death (up to 1 year)defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on 2 consecutive occasions ≥4 weeks apart, as determined by the Investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).
Phase 3: Progression-Free Survival by Investigator (PFSinv)From randomization to PD or death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of PD, as determined by the Investigator according to RECIST 1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).
Phase 3: Overall Survival (OS)From randomization until death from any cause (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 2 and 3: Objective Response Rate by Blinded Independent Review Committee (ORRbirc)From randomization to PD or death (up to 1 year)defined as the proportion of patients with a CR or PR on 2 consecutive occasions ≥4 weeks apart, per RECIST 1.1
Phase 2 and 3: Duration of Response by Investigator and by BIRC (DORinv, DORbirc)From the first occurrence of a documented objective response to PD or death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response (CR/PR) until PD, both as determined by the Investigator or BIRC, respectively, according to RECIST 1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first)
Phase 2 and 3: Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) by Investigator and by BIRCFrom randomization to PD or death (up to 1 year)defined as the proportion of patients with stable disease (SD) for ≥12 weeks or a CR or PR, as determined by the Investigator or BIRC respectively, according to RECIST 1.1.
Phase 2 and 3: Progression-free survival by BIRC (PFSbirc)From randomization to PD or death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of PD, as determined by the BIRC according to RECIST 1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).
Phase 2 and 3: PFSinv and PFSbirc rates at 6, 9, 12 and 24 monthsFrom randomization to PD or death, with landmark-specific timeframes (up to 2 years)defined as the proportion of patients who are progression-free, as determined by the Investigator or BIRC, respectively, according to RECIST 1.1, and alive 6, 9, 12 and 24 months after randomization.
Phase 2 and Phase 3: OS rates at 12 and 24 monthsFrom randomization to death, with landmark-specific timeframes (up to 2 years)defined as the proportion of patients who are alive 12 and 24 months after randomization.
Phase 2: PFS by Investigator (PFSinv)From randomization to PD or death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of PD, as determined by the Investigator according to RECIST 1.1, or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).
Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS)From randomization to death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause
Phase 3: Objective Response Rate by investigator (ORRinv)From randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death (up to 1 year)defined as the proportion of patients with CR or PR on 2 consecutive occasions ≥4 weeks apart, as determined by the Investigator according to RECIST 1.1.
Phase 3: Time to Chemotherapy (TTCtx)From randomization until the start of chemotherapy or death (up to 4 years)defined as the time from randomization until the start date of chemotherapy or death from any cause (whichever occurs first).
Phase 2 and Phase 3: Incidence and Severity of treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs)From first study treatment dose until the end of protocol-defined safety follow-up period (up to 2 years)Incidence will be reported as the number of participants with at least one AE, with severity determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5 (NCI CTCAE v 5.0)
