A Phase II Study of the Addition of Pembrolizumab to Postoperative Radiotherapy in Resected High Risk Cutaneous Squamous Cell Cancer of the Head and Neck
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pembrolizumab and IMRT 60-66Gy for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
A small group of skin cancers of the head and neck, called resected cutaneous squamous carcinomas, are more aggressive than most cancers of this type, even after being treated with standard therapy. This trial will use stronger treatment to look at the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of combining a drug called Pembrolizumab with radiation after a cancer has already been treated to suppress secondary tumor formation in high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Primary Objective To assess safety by looking at the people with dose limiting responses
