Treatment: Drugs - Magrolimab
Treatment: Drugs - Pembrolizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Docetaxel
Treatment: Drugs - 5-FU
Treatment: Drugs - Cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Carboplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Zimberelimab

Experimental: Safety Run-in Cohort 1, Magrolimab + Pembrolizumab + 5-FU + Platinum - Participants with untreated metastatic or unresectable, locally recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) regardless of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) status will receive the following:

* magrolimab
* pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of each cycle
* 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 1000 mg/m\^2/day Days 1-4 of each cycle (for up to 6 cycles)
* platinum chemotherapy (cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 or carboplatin area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) 5 per investigator choice (for up to 6 cycles))

Participants will continue treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, whichever occurs first, and will not change their magrolimab dose level after the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) is determined. Each cycle is 21 days.

Experimental: Safety Run-in Cohort 2, Magrolimab + Docetaxel - Participants with locally advanced/metastatic HNSCC regardless of PD-L1 status who were previously treated with at least 1 and no more than 2 lines of prior systemic therapy will receive the following:

* magrolimab
* docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each cycle

Participants will continue treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, whichever occurs first, and will not change their magrolimab dose level after the RP2D is determined. Each cycle is 21 days.

Experimental: Pre-expansion Safety Run-in Cohort, Magrolimab + Pembrolizumab - The pre-expansion safety run-in cohort may be conducted at the sponsor's discretion prior to the initiation of Phase 2 Cohort 2.

Participants with untreated metastatic or unresectable, locally recurrent HNSCC with a PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) = 1 will receive magrolimab and pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of each cycle. Each cycle is 21 days.

Participants will continue treatment until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression, whichever occurs first, and will not change their magrolimab dose level after the RP2D is determined. Each cycle is 21 days.

Each cycle is 21 days.

Pembrolizumab therapy will be administered for up to 24 months or until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first. 5-FU and platinum chemotherapy will be administered for up to 6 cycles or until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.

Experimental: Phase 2 Cohort 1, Magrolimab + Zimberelimab + 5-FU + Platinum (Arm C) - Participants with untreated metastatic or unresectable, locally recurrent HNSCC regardless of PD-L1 status will receive magrolimab at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) determined in the Safety run-in cohort 1, zimberelimab 360 mg on Day 1 of each cycle, 5-FU 1000 mg/m\^2/day Days 1-4 of each cycle, and platinum chemotherapy (cisplatin 100 mg/m\^2 or carboplatin AUC 5 per investigator choice). Each cycle is 21 days.

Magrolimab will be continued until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or death. Zimberelimab therapy will be administered up to 24 months or until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first. 5-FU and platinum chemotherapy will be administered for up to 6 cycles or until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.

Experimental: Phase 2 Cohort 2, Magrolimab + Pembrolizumab - Participants with untreated metastatic or unresectable, locally recurrent HNSCC with a PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) = 1 will receive magrolimab at the RP2D determined in the Safety run-in cohort 1 and pembrolizumab 200 mg on Day 1 of each cycle. Each cycle is 21 days.

Magrolimab will be continued until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or death. Pembrolizumab therapy will be administered for up to 24 months or until loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity, whichever occurs first.

Experimental: Phase 2 Cohort 3, Magrolimab + Docetaxel - Participants with locally advanced/metastatic HNSCC regardless of PD-L1 status who were previously treated with at least 1 and no more than 2 lines of prior systemic therapy will receive magrolimab at the RP2D determined in the Safety run-in cohort 2 and docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 on Day 1 of each cycle. Each cycle is 21 days.

Magrolimab and docetaxel will be continued until loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, or death.
