Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety Run-in Cohorts: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 5.0 [ Time Frame: First Dose up to 21 days ]
  2. Phase 2 Cohorts 1: Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the earliest date of documented disease progression, as assessed by investigator assessment, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  3. Phase 2 Cohorts 2 and 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 as determined by investigator assessment.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety Run-In and Phase 2 Cohorts: Serum Concentration of Magrolimab [ Time Frame: Up to end of treatment (approximately 24 months) ]
  2. Safety Run-In and Phase 2 Cohorts: Percentage of Participants who Developed Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) to Magrolimab [ Time Frame: Up to end of treatment (approximately 24 months) ]
  3. Phase 2 Cohorts: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by investigator assessment.

  4. Phase 2 Cohorts: Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization (Phase 2 Cohorts 1) or date of dose initiation (Phase 2 Cohorts 2 and 3) until the earliest date of documented disease progression as determined by investigator assessment per RECIST, version 1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  5. Phase 2 Cohorts: Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    DOR is defined as the time from first documentation of CR or PR to the earliest date of documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  6. Phase 2 Cohorts: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization (Phase 2 Cohorts 1) or time from the date of dose initiation (Phase 2 Cohorts 2 and 3) to death from any cause.

  7. Phase 2 Cohorts: Change from Baseline in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline; up to 24 months ]
    The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire is a specific questionnaire for cancer, it is composed of 30 questions (items) resulting in 5 functional scales, 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales, and 6 single items. Scoring of the QLQ-C30 is performed according to QLQ-C30 Scoring manual. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the participant), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the participant).

  8. Phase 2 Cohorts: Change from Baseline in the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life - Head and Neck Module (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) [ Time Frame: Baseline; up to 24 months ]
    The head & neck cancer module is a 35-item questionnaire designed for use among a wide range of participants with head & neck cancer, varying in disease stage and treatment modality. It includes 7 multi-item scales that assess pain (4 items), swallowing (4 items), senses (2 items), speech (3 items), social eating (4 items), social contact (5 items), and sexuality (2 items). There are also 11 single items. Using a 4-point Likert scale, participants indicate the degree to which they have experienced symptoms. For all items and scales, high scores indicate more problems.

  9. Phase 2 Cohorts: Change From Baseline in the 5-level EuroQol 5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: Baseline; up to 24 months ]

    The EQ-5D-5L is a standard measure of health-related quality of life. The tool consists of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive part and the EQ visual analogue scale (VAS). The descriptive part comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Each of these 5 dimensions has 5 levels (no problem, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems). Results for each of the 5 dimensions are combined into a 5-digit number to describe the participant's health state.

    The EQ-VAS records the participant's health on a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with 0 indicating "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicating "the best health you can imagine." Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.
