Arm/Group Description |
Patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression* or unacceptable toxicity. * NOTE: Patients with confirmed disease progression may continue to receive treatment if they are otherwise clinically stable until there is an increase in tumor burden of 25% or more following initial confirmation of progression. Under exceptional circumstances, and with protocol P.I. and CITN P.I. approval, patients may receive treatment beyond 2 years.
