Summary

This phase 2 trial tests the drug avelumab in 25 people with advanced penile cancer who cannot have standard platinum chemo or whose cancer worsened after it. Avelumab works by blocking a protein called PD-L1, which may help shrink or stop tumor growth. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors respond to the treatment.
