Full Title
A Phase II, Multicenter, Single-Arm Clinical Trial of Definitive Radiotherapy And CeMiPlimAb-Rwlc ImmunoTherapy for Locally Advanced, Unresectable Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma: RAMPARTPurpose
The purpose of this study is to see if combining radiation therapy and cemiplimab immunotherapy is an effective treatment for people with inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) that is relatively large or has spread beyond its original location to nearby lymph nodes or nerves. Cemiplimab boosts the ability of the immune system to find and kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for squamous cell skin cancer. Researchers believe that cemiplimab may make radiation therapy more effective. Cemiplimab is given intravenously (by vein).
