Study 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.

Primary Outcome

Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions
