Merck & Co. (MRK) on Wednesday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new monotherapy indication for its cancer drug Keytruda in a form of esophageal cancer.

The Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said the approval covers patients with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus whose tumors express PD-L1 (combined positive score >=10) as determined by an FDA-approved test, with disease progression after one or more prior lines of systemic therapy.

Keytruda, a cancer drug that harnesses a patient's immune system to fight tumors, has previously been approved in indications in lung, skin, bladder and other cancers.
