The dose of the study drug, pembrolizumab, will not change no matter when the participant is enrolled into the study. The order in which the participant is enrolled to the study will determine the cohort assigned to: * Run-In Cohort: Pembrolizumab only followed by surgery * Cohort 1: Pembrolizumab and defactinib followed by surgery * Cohort 2: Pembrolizumab and defactinib followed by surgery * Expansion Cohort: Pembrolizumab and defactinib at the maximum dose as determined from the previous cohorts (Cohorts 1 and 2) * The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved defactinib as a treatment for any disease. * The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved pembrolizumab for this specific disease but it has been approved for other uses.
