First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is for adults with advanced solid tumors (like head and neck, breast, ovarian, or skin cancer) that haven't responded to standard treatments. Researchers want to understand how the drug pembrolizumab changes genes and immune markers in the blood and tumors. The goal is to learn why some people respond to treatment and others don't, not to test a new cure.
