Study of Pembrolizumab (MK-3475) Versus Placebo in Participants With Esophageal Carcinoma Who Are Receiving Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy (MK-3475-975/KEYNOTE-975)

This study looks at a new drug, pembrolizumab, for certain types of oesophageal cancer. It compares giving pembrolizumab alongside standard chemotherapy and radiotherapy with giving a dummy drug (placebo) with the same standard treatment. We want to see if the new drug can help people live longer or prevent the cancer from coming back.
