Summary

This study was designed to test whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to standard hormone therapy and radiation could improve outcomes for men with high-risk localized prostate cancer. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The goal was to see if the combination could eliminate cancer cells in the prostate and control the disease long-term.
