Summary

This trial is testing whether adding a new drug called M7824 to standard chemoradiation therapy can improve patient outcomes compared to using another drug called durvalumab. The study focuses on patients receiving chemoradiation therapy. Both M7824 and durvalumab are designed to help the immune system better fight cancer. Durvalumab has been approved for treating advanced urothelial and non-small cell lung cancers and is being explored in other cancers.
