Summary

This study is testing whether combining an immunotherapy drug (avelumab) with a form of targeted radiation therapy can better control advanced Merkel cell carcinoma, a rare and aggressive skin cancer. It aims to see if this combination is safe and can help stop the cancer from growing for longer. The trial is for adults with metastatic disease who have not yet received other treatments for their advanced cancer.
