Summary

This study tests whether adding immunotherapy (a drug that helps the immune system fight cancer) after standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with advanced esophageal cancer live longer without the disease getting worse. About 452 adults with a specific type of esophageal cancer will be randomly assigned to receive either immunotherapy or just monitoring after their initial treatment. The goal is to see if the immunotherapy maintenance improves outcomes.
