Brief Summary:
This is a Phase Ib/II, open-label, multicenter, randomized platform study to evaluate neoadjuvant immunotherapy combinations in participants with resectable HCC. The study is designed with the flexibility to open new treatment arms as new agents become available, close existing treatment arms that demonstrate minimal clinical activity or unacceptable toxicity, or modify the participant population.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Major Pathologic Response (MPR) Rate [ Time Frame: At the time of surgery ]
    MPR rate is defined as the proportion of participants with =<10% residual viable tumor in the tumor bed at the time of surgery, as assessed by central pathological review.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate [ Time Frame: At the time of surgery ]
    pCR rate is defined as the proportion of participants with an absence of residual tumor at the time of surgery, as assessed by central pathological review.

  2. Relapse-Free Survival (RFS) [ Time Frame: Surgery to the first documented recurrence of disease (up to approximately 2 years) ]
    RFS is defined as the time from surgery to the first documented recurrence of disease (intrahepatic or extrahepatic) according to EASL and/or RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause.

  3. Event-Free Survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization up to approximately 3 years ]
    EFS is defined as the time from randomization to any of the following events (whichever occurs first): disease progression that precludes surgery, as assessed by the investigator according RECIST v1.1; local regional, or distant disease recurrence as measured by EASL and/or RECIST v1.1; or death from any cause.

  4. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to death from any cause (up to approximately 3 years) ]
    OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

  5. OS Rate at 24 Months [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 24 months ]
    OS rate at 24 months is defined as the proportion of participants who have not experience death from any cause at 24 months after randomization.

  6. OS Rate at 36 Months [ Time Frame: Randomization up to 36 months ]
    OS rate at 36 months is defined as the proportion of participants who have not experience death from any cause at 36 months after randomization.

  7. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Prior to surgery ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with a radiographic Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) prior to surgery, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST. Responses will be assessed and determined according to RECIST v1.1 and HCC mRECIST but are not required to be confirmed by subsequent imaging assessments.

  8. Proportion of Participants Downstaged to Within Milan Criteria [ Time Frame: Prior to surgery ]
    Proportion of participants downstaged to within Milan criteria (for participants beyond criteria at randomization). Within Milan criteria is defined as single tumor <= 5 cm or 2 - 3 nodules all <= 3 cm.

  9. R0 Resection Rate [ Time Frame: At the time of surgery ]
    R0 resection rate (proportion of resected participants obtaining an R0 resection). R0 resection is defined as a microscopically margin-negative resection, in which no tumor (gross or microscopic) remains in the primary tumor bed.

  10. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 3 years after first participant enrolled ]
  11. Proportion of Participants With Delayed or Canceled Surgery Due to Treatment-Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: >28 days from surgical restaging visit, anticipated up to 56 days ]
    Proportion of participants with delayed or canceled surgery due to treatment-related adverse events (defined as > 28 days from surgical restaging visit).

  12. Post-Operative Surgical Complication Rates According to The Clavien-Dindo Surgical Classification [ Time Frame: Surgery to treatment completion/discontinuation (up to approximately 2 years) ]
    Post-operative surgical complication rates according to the Clavien-Dindo surgical classification. Clinically relevant complications are defined as Clavien-Dindo Grade >= IIIa.

  13. Post-Operative Mortality [ Time Frame: Within 90 days after surgery ]
    Post-operative mortality is defined as death within 90 days after surgery
