* Fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (capecitabine is acceptable as equivalent to fluorouracil in prior therapy)
* With or without an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody (e.g., bevacizumab)
* At least one of the anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab or panitumumab) for rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (RAS) wild-type participants with left-sided tumors. Prior EGFR therapy is optional for patients with right sided RAS Wild-type (WT) tumors.

Cohort B:

- Has untreated Stage IV dMMR/MSI-H CRC with no prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for this disease

Exclusion Criteria:

* Has received prior therapy with an agent directed to another stimulatory or coinhibitory T-cell receptor
* Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
* Has not recovered adequately from a surgery procedure, and/or has any complications from a prior surgery before starting study intervention
* Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention
* Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention
* Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks before the first dose of study intervention
* Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication
* Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years
* Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis

* Has a history of acute or chronic pancreatitis
* Has neuromuscular disorders associated with an elevated creatine kinase
* Has urine protein ≥1 gram/24 hours
* Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy (e.g., tuberculosis, known viral or bacterial infections, etc.)
