Trial Subjects (patients), will receive single infusions of pembrolizumab every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity develops. They will receive radiotherapy at week 12.

Of this area: there should be at least 1 cutaneous lesion (MF) or a defined area of involved skin (erythrodermic MF or SS) which is an appropriate target for palliative radiotherapy. There should be an area of skin involved by measurable Mycosis Fungoides/SS that will not be irradiated (To assess the abscopal effect of radiotherapy)

- Have ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
- Life expectancy of at least 6 months
- Demonstrate adequate organ function
- Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test at pre-registration. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
- Willing to comply with the contraception requirements
- Written informed consent
- •
Exclusion
- Received chemotherapy or targeted small molecule therapy within 4 weeks prior to study entry or has not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered \>4 weeks earlier (except patients with ≤ grade 2 neuropathy)
- Is currently or has participated in an IMP or device study within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of pembrolizumab
- Received any other monoclonal antibody within 15 weeks prior to the first dose of pembrolizumab or has not recovered (≤ grade 1 or to baseline level) from adverse events due to agents administered \>4 weeks earlier. The exception to this is alemtuzumab which should not have been administered in the previous 12 weeks

Stable use of corticosteroids (at a dose no higher than 10mg prednisolone per day over the preceding 4 weeks) is allowed
- Diagnosis of prior immunodeficiency or organ-transplant requiring immunosuppressive therapy
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to start of treatment except the following: intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids or local steroid injections (eg. Intra-articular injection); systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses (10mg/day or less of prednisolone or equivalent)

- Is pregnant or breastfeeding
- Has a known history of active TB
- Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial or interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial or to participate in the trial is not in the patient's best interest, in the opinion of the treating investigator
