Study Summary

The radiation therapy or ablation that the patient received as standard therapy treated only the tumors that were radiated or ablated. Radiation therapy or ablation plus pembrolizumab might lead to a stronger immune response that may control or destroy tumors that did not receive radiation therapy or ablation. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, pembrolizumab has on the patient, and the cancer that did not receive radiation therapy or ablation.

Primary Outcome

If at the end of the study ≥3 tumor responses per RECIST 1.1 are observed in a cohort, then further investigation of pembrolizumab plus RT and/or pembrolizumab plus ablation will be considered worthwhile. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD) no PR - n
