Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (a PD-1 inhibitor) after standard chemoradiotherapy helps adults with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell cancer live longer without the disease getting worse. About 452 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the immunotherapy or just monitoring after their initial treatment. The goal is to see if the maintenance therapy improves outcomes.
