• >= 1 metastatic liver lesion amenable for radiation, intratumoral injection, and core biopsy

  • Lesion for radiation, intratumoral injection, and biopsy may not be a previously irradiated lesion but may have been previously treated with liver directed therapy (e.g., radiofrequency ablation [RFA], transarterial chemoembolization [TACE], selective internal radiation therapy [SIRT], etc.) provided there is radiographic evidence of disease progression in the interim since last local/regional treatment
• >= 1 target lesion outside the field of radiation, measurable by RECIST v1.1
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1000 cells/mm^3

• Creatinine =< 2 times ULN
• Patients with hepatitis B virus are allowed if antiviral therapy has been given for > 8 weeks with viral loads < 100 IU/mL prior to the first dose of trial therapy. Subjects with hepatitis C virus are allowed. Viral loads for hepatitis B and C will be monitored every 4 weeks for patients with active hepatitis B and/or C
• Women with childbearing potential and males must be willing to use adequate birth control on trial and until 5 months for women or 7 months for men after the last of study therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Actively receiving cancer directed, systemic therapy
• Prior systemic treatment for pancreatic adenocarcinoma within 2 weeks of first study treatment

• History of non-infectious pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease
• Active infection requiring systemic therapy defined as ongoing signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and/or other treatment
• Pregnant or lactating women
• Live attenuated vaccine received =< 30 days before first dose of trial therapy
• Known history of positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
• Contraindications to radiotherapy including but not limited to radiation sensitivity syndromes e.g., xeroderma pigmentosum, ataxia telangiectasia
• Any significant medical condition including additional active malignancies, laboratory abnormalities, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from participating and adhering to study related procedures in the view of the principal investigator
