Official Title: A Phase III Randomized Open-Label Study of Single Agent Pembrolizumab vs Physicians' Choice of Single Agent Docetaxel, Paclitaxel, or Irinotecan in Subjects With Advanced/Metastatic Adenocarcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus That Have Progressed After First-Line Standard Therapy (KEYNOTE-181)

Study Description

Brief Summary: In the China extension study, Chinese participants with advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus or Siewert type I adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) that has progressed after first-line standard therapy will be randomized to receive either single agent pembrolizumab or the Investigator's choice of chemotherapy with paclitaxel, docetaxel, or irinotecan. The primary extension study hypothesis is that treatment with pembrolizumab will prolong overall survival (OS) as compared to treatment with chemotherapy.

Detailed Description: The China extension study will include participants previously enrolled in China in the global study for MK-3475-181 (NCT02564263) plus those enrolled during the China extension enrollment period. Per protocol, response/progression or adverse events during the second pembrolizumab course will not be counted towards efficacy outcome measures or safety outcome measures.
