Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients with skin cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or other parts of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: -To establish the response rate of pembrolizumab in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: -To determine the 6-month progression-free survival and 1 year overall survival of metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the skin (cSCC) treated with pembrolizumab. OUTLINE: Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 8-12 weeks. ;
