- {"criterion_text":"- Prior definitive chemoradiation for locally advanced disease is permitted as long as the last administration of chemotherapy or radiotherapy (whichever was given last) occurred at least 6 months prior to randomization. Participants with locally advanced disease with recurrence after chemoradiation therapy (stage III disease, specifically refers to patients with no curative options) are eligible to enroll."}

Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA-4 antibody or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell costimulation or checkpoint pathways."}

- {"criterion_text":"- Participants with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Participants with type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll."}
- {"criterion_text":"- Participants with previous malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancers, and in situ cancers such as the following: bladder, gastric, colon, cervical/dysplasia, melanoma, or breast) are excluded unless a complete remission was achieved at least 2 years prior to randomization and no additional therapy is required or anticipated to be required during the study period."}
- {"criterion_text":"- Participants with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) within 14 days or other immunosuppressive medications within 30 days of randomization. Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease."}
