Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase II trial studies the effect of stereotactic radiosurgery and pembrolizumab in treating patients with meningioma that has come back (recurrent). Stereotactic radiosurgery is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. It is used to treat brain tumors and other brain disorders that cannot be treated by regular surgery. Pembrolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody. An antibody is a common type of protein made in the body in response to a foreign substance. Antibodies attack foreign substances and protect against infection. Antibodies can also be produced in the laboratory for use in treating patients; an antibody that is made in the lab is also known as a humanized monoclonal antibody. Pembrolizumab is a highly selective humanized monoclonal antibody that is designed to block the action of the receptor PD-1. It has been studied in lab experiments and in other types of cancer. The PD-1 receptor works to keep the immune system from noticing tumor cells. The addition of pembrolizumab to stereotactic radiosurgery may improve the progression free survival of patients with meningioma.

  8. * For prior radiotherapy, there are no exclusions on number of courses or prior type of radiotherapy. All modalities including prior fractionated external beam photon/proton radiotherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, and/or or brachytherapy are permissible with a required interval of 6 months from last prior radiotherapy treatment, unless radiation given outside of the planned field, then within 2 weeks from prior radiotherapy treatment.

  18. * International normalized ratio (INR) OR prothrombin time (PT) =\< 1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (within 28 days prior to enrollment)
  19. * Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =\< 1.5 x ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants (within 28 days prior to enrollment)
  20. * Additional required screening labs within 28 days: albumin, Alkaline phosphatase, calcium, total bilirubin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total protein, random glucose, potassium, sodium, chloride,bicarbonate, and magnesium, phosphorus.
