Immune-Boosting drug tested for Tough-to-Treat rare cancers
NCT ID NCT03316573
Summary
This study is testing a drug called pembrolizumab for people with rare, aggressive cancers of the immune system (like certain lymphomas and histiocyte/dendritic cell sarcomas) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The drug works by helping the body's own immune system recognize and attack the cancer cells. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and control the disease in patients who have few other options.
