Summary

This study tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to precise radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) can help control recurrent meningioma, a type of brain tumor that has come back after prior treatment. About 35 adults with grade II or III meningioma will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach improves the time without tumor growth.
