Vitiligo Resolved childhood asthma/atopy Requirement for intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections or topical steroids Hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement Sjogren's Syndrome Has received >1 prior systemic chemotherapy regimen (other than adjuvant or neoadjuvant) for endometrial cancer; participants may receive up to two regimens of platinum-based chemotherapy in total, as long as one is given in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment setting Prior anticancer treatment within 28 days of study start Prior treatment with any treatment targeting VEGF-directed angiogenesis, any anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent Has received prior treatment with an agent directed to a stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor other than an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent, and who has discontinued from that treatment due to a grade 3 or higher immune-related adverse event (irAE) Has received prior radiation therapy within 21 days of study start with the exception of palliative radiotherapy to bone lesions, which is allowed if completed 2 weeks of study start; participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities and/or complications prior to randomization Participants with urine protein ≥3.5 gram (g)/24 hour Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below the institutional normal range as determined by multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO) Prior immunotherapy (single or dual immune checkpoint inhibition, cellular or vaccine therapy) Administration of a live vaccine within 30 days prior to initiating study treatment Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are permitted; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed. COVID-19 vaccines are allowed and encouraged Administration of any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to initiating study treatment History of solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant Known intolerance to either of the study drugs (or any of the excipients) Known immunodeficiency, eg, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Note: HIV testing is not required for eligibility screening Known active hepatitis B or C Note: hepatitis B and C testing is not required for eligibility screening Serious (ie, grade ≥3) uncontrolled infection Pregnancy or breastfeeding Diagnosis or treatment for another malignancy within 2 years prior to study registration, with the following exceptions: complete resection of basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, any in situ malignancy Medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may increase the patient's risk or limit the patient's adherence with study requirements
