Male participants must meet requirements: agree to use adequate contraception methods or keep abstinence (starting with the ICF is signed through 120 days after the last dose of toriplimab, or 180 days after the last dose of chemotherapy, whichever is longer).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. HER2-positive status defined as either IHC score of 3+ or IHC 2+ with amplification proven by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) based on pretreatment endoscopic biopsies.

8. Participants with active tuberculosis.

9. Previous or concurrent diagnosed with interstitial lung disease by imaging or symptoms.

10. Any of the following test is positive: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody, Hepatitis B surface Antigen (HBsAg), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) antibody.

11. Participants who need long-term systemic steroid therapy (> 10 mg/d prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days before the first dose of study treatment or during the study period.
