Study Summary

A small group of skin cancers of the head and neck, called resected cutaneous squamous carcinomas, are more aggressive than most cancers of this type, even after being treated with standard therapy. This trial will use stronger treatment to look at the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of combining a drug called Pembrolizumab with radiation after a cancer has already been treated to suppress secondary tumor formation in high risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck. Primary Objective To assess safety by looking at the people with dose limiting responses

Primary Outcome

There will be an initial safety run in cohort consisting of an initial safety run in cohort consisting of eight patients to allow for at least six evaluable patients for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) by the week 20 visit. If a total of 0-2 of the initial six evaluable patients experience DLTs, the safety run in will have been deemed successful and the 29 remaining planned patients will be accrued. DLT for this study is defined as the occurrence of a severe adverse event (AE) that is at least p
