Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of recurrence at 1 year, will be measured by RECIST 1.1 as the primary measure for assessment of tumor, date of disease progression, and as a basis for all protocol guidelines related to disease status (e.g., discontinuation of study treatment).

    Primary objective

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Determine the feasibility of immunotherapy for head and neck cancer following salvage surgery to produce preliminary data for 15 patients regarding efficacy. All side effects and symptoms will be assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    1 year

  • Rate of completion of all planned therapy. All drug related toxicities will be graded by CTCAE v5.0.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Toxicity rates measured by laboratory assessments and all adverse events and serious adverse events will be assessed by CTCAE v5.0.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (1)

Pembrolizumab 25 MG/1 ML Intravenous Solution [KEYTRUDA]

OTHER
Drug: Pembrolizumab 25 MG/1 ML Intravenous Solution [KEYTRUDA]

Interventions

Patients will receive 17 cycles of pembrolizumab via IV infusion of 200 mg over a period of 30 minutes, every 3 weeks starting no later than 90 days from the date of salvage head and neck therapy.

Pembrolizumab 25 MG/1 ML Intravenous Solution [KEYTRUDA]

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must be 18 years or older, of either gender, with the ability to consent to participation in the study.
  • Patients must have a history of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck involving any sub-site in the head and neck area except nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, and salivary gland tumors.
  • All patients must have recurred following definitive therapy with any combination of surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.
  • All patients must have undergone salvage surgery in an attempt to excise all recurrent disease.
