Number of Subjects With Progression Free Survival
Progression Free Survival is defined as the time from initiation of definitive therapy to the first documented disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1 based on radiologists' review or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, or last patient follow-up that documented lack of disease progression. Patients who have not had disease progression or who have died, will be censored on the most recent clinical evaluation date that documented that they were progression-free.
Time frame: 2 years
Number of Participants Who Experienced a Grade 3+ Adverse Event
Toxicity was graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0. Adverse events were reviewed by the treating physicians and principal investigator to assess potential attribution to reirradiation/chemotherapy or pembrolizumab.
Time frame: 2 years
