Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab compared with placebo in participants with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (or those who are unable or unwilling to undergo surgery) and whose cancers have not progressed following definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy (dCRT). Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either tiragolumab plus atezolizumab (Arm A), tiragolumab matching placebo plus atezolizumab (Arm B), or double placebo (Arm C).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
- •Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus

- •dCRT treatment according to regional oncology guidelines for esophageal cancer
- •Representative archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens collected prior to initiation of dCRT
- •Adequate hematologic and end-organ function prior to randomization
- •Women of childbearing potential must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year during the treatment period, for 5 months after the final dose of atezolizumab/placebo, and for 90 days after the final dose of tiragolumab/placebo, whichever is later
- •Men must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use a condom, and agree to refrain from donating sperm during the treatment period and for 90 days after the final dose of tiragolumab/placebo.
Exclusion Criteria
