Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs (carboplatin and paclitaxel) with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) for men with locally advanced penile cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough before surgery to improve outcomes for this rare and difficult-to-treat cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a man with a confirmed diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the penis - Your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes or has limited spread to other sites that can be treated - You have not yet received treatment for this cancer - You are in good general health (ECOG score 0 or 1) - You agree to use contraception during and for at least 6 months after treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have uncontrolled serious medical conditions - You are unable to provide a tumor tissue sample - Your cancer has spread too widely to benefit from this approach Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
