Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
- Conditions
- Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC)Gastroesophageal Junction Carcinoma (GEJC)Esophageal Adenocarcinoma (EAC)
- Interventions
- Drug: placeboRadiation: radiotherapy
- Registration Number
- NCT04210115
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT) + pembrolizumab (MK-3475) compared to treatment with dCRT + placebo with respect to Event-free Survival (EFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in:
* participants whose tumors express Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥10
* participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1
* all participants
The primary study hypotheses are that dCRT+ pembrolizumab is better than dCRT + placebo with respect to:
* EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10
* EFS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1
* EFS in all participants
* OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥10
* OS in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 CPS ≥1
* OS in all participants
- Detailed Description
Participants receive pembrolizumab or placebo PLUS one of two chemotherapy regimens PLUS radiation therapy for up to approximately one year. The chemotherapy regimens are either:
* FP (5-fluorouracil \[5-FU\] + cisplatin) or
* FOLFOX (5-FU + oxaliplatin + leucovorin or levoleucovorin).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Event-free Survival (EFS) Up to ~60 months EFS is defined as the time from randomization to an event defined as local, regional, or distant radiological recurrence as assessed by the investigator; clinical recurrence as assessed by the investigator with histopathologic confirmation (in the absence of radiological disease recurrence by investigator assessment); or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (OS) Up to ~72 months OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of participants with an adverse event (AE) Up to ~15 months An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
Number of participants discontinuing study treatment due to an adverse event (AE) Up to ~12 months An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant that is temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
