  2. treated with surgery and without evidence of progression prior to randomization and have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases; or
  3. treated with stereotactic radiosurgery and without evidence of progression prior to randomization and have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases.
  4. asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic active metastases, with controlled steriod use and no imminent CNS complications.
* Participants with leptomeningeal disease.
* Participants with any uncontrolled autoimmune disease that requires active immunosuppressive agents.
* Participants who are solid organ transplantation recipients or likely to receive solid organ transplants in the future.
