Primary site may include oral cavity, pharynx, or larynx. Oropharynx primaries must be HPV (-) as defined by routine p16 IHC at the local site. 3. Participants may be enrolled between 3 months and 5 years AFTER completion of curative-intent therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy). 4. Participants may have untreated OPLs (i.e., hyperplasia, dysplasia, carcinoma in situ) at the time of study entry, provided the index OPL or HNSCC was definitively treated. 5. Participants must be at least 18 years old. 6. Participants must have a Karnofsky Performance Status of 80% or higher or an ECOG of 0-1 (Appendix A). 7. Current and former tobacco users are eligible. The tobacco use assessment form must be completed following consent, to assure eligibility (Appendix B). Patients must have ≥10 pack-year cumulative tobacco exposure or its equivalent to be eligible. This is defined as follows: 1. Cigarette exposure: ≥10 pack-years OR 2. Cigar exposure: ≥ 10 cigar-years, where 1 cigar year is defined as having smoked on average ≥ 1 cigar/day for a year OR 3.

Primary oropharyngeal HNSCC which is HPV (+) as defined by p16 IHC. 3. Participants with acute intercurrent illness or those who had major surgery within the preceding 4 weeks unless they have fully recovered. 4. Participants who have a positive pregnancy test, are pregnant, or breast feeding. 5. Patients who are not practicing adequate contraception are ineligible if they are of child bearing potential. 6.

Patients on low molecular weight heparin or fondaparinux may be enrolled. 8. Use of chronic prescribed medications which are potent inducers or inhibitors of CYP3A4 (Appendix C). 9. Chronic use of steroids at immunosuppressive doses.
