Intervention

Drug:
Cemiplimab
Participants will undergo baseline imaging, followed by two doses of neoadjuvant cemiplimab at a dose of 350 mg intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks (+/-3 days). Then, participants will receive concurrent cemiplimab 350 mg intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks (+/-3 days) concurrently with RT to 70 Gy in 35 fractions over 7 weeks. Thereafter, participants will receive 38 weeks of cemiplimab 350 mg intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks (+/-3 days) for a cumulative total of 12 months of cemiplimab.
Radiation:
Radiotherapy
Participants will receive radiotherapy to 70 Gy in 35 fractions over 7 weeks concurrently with cemiplimab
