Clinical summary
Summary
Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to one of two Experimental Arms. In Experimental Arm 1, participants will receive pembrolizumab (400mg) plus belzutifan (120mg) plus lenvatinib (20mg). Pembrolizumab will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 6 weeks (Q6W) for a maximum of 18 doses (approximately 2 years). Belzutifan and lenvatinib will be administered orally once daily (QD) until progressive disease or discontinuation. In Experimental Arm 2, participants with IO resistant ESCC will receive pembrolizumab (400mg) plus lenvatinib (20mg). Pembrolizumab will be administered via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 6 weeks (Q6W) for a maximum of 18 doses (approximately 2 years). Lenvatinib will be administered orally once daily (QD) until progressive disease or discontinuation.
