Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (pembrolizumab and ziv-aflibercept)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over approximately 30 minutes and ziv-aflibercept IV over 1-2 hours on day 1. Cycles repeat every 2 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT scan, MRI, blood sample collection and tumor biopsy throughout the study.
