Description
Primary Objective
-Increase overall response rate (ORR), following pembrolizumab combined with induction chemotherapy prior to radiation, from historical 60% with induction chemotherapy alone to 80%.
Secondary Objective
* Improve the following efficacy endpoints relative to historical results with chemotherapy alone: progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), organ [orbital, maxillary, cranial] preservation rate (OPR), and locoregional failure (LRF).
* To determine safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab combined with induction chemotherapy and chemoradiation in patients with PNS SCC.
* Correlate immune phenotype in tumors and blood, including T cell infiltration and PD-L1 status, with treatment outcomes.
