About this trial

The primary objective is to evaluate major pathologic response after RiMO-301 with hypofractionated radiotherapy and a PD-1 inhibitor (pembrolizumab), as assessed by clinical response rate using iRECIST criteria; determine event-free survival for up to 12 months; and determine overall survival for up to 24 months. The secondary objectives include determining event-free survival for up to 12 months and overall survival for up to 24 months.
