Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Objective Response Rate
Objective response rate to therapy (complete and partial responses) at 3 month intervals after beginning goserelin and pembrolizumab based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
Secondary outcomes
Progression Free Survival
Determine progression free survival (PFS) at 12 months, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
Disease Control Rate
Disease control rate as defined by stable disease plus objective response (SD+PR+CR), according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
Assess Adverse Events
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab when given with goserelin, grade 3,4,5 adverse events will be summarized according to CTCAE v5 criteria.
Overall Survival
Determine overall survival (OS) at 12 months, according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
