For Combination Therapy Expansion Cohort B, patients must have cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) (human papilloma virus [HPV]-positive or -negative; documentation of HPV status is required); 5. For Combination Therapy Expansion Cohort C, patients must have either: 1. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (HPV-positive or -negative; documentation of HPV status is required); or 2.
