Adjuvant Pembrolizumab for Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma at High Risk of Recurrence

In this study, participants with histologically diagnosed locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who have received preoperative cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery harbouring high risk of tumor recurrence will receive adjuvant cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy followed by pembrolizumab. The primary study hypothesis is that adjuvant pembrolizumab will improve the 1-year recurrence-free survival rate compared to historical control.
