Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with confirmed microsatellite-stable tumor pathology, if data available
  • Patient with histologically or cytologically confirmed primary metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, who

    1. Arm 1: stopped first-line treatment with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel after documented objective radiographic progression OR
    2. Arm 2: stopped first-line treatment with FOLFIRINOX or modified FOLFIRINOX after documented objective radiographic progression
  • Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 as determined by the investigational site
  • Estimated minimum life expectancy 3 months
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score 0 to 1
  • Adequate organ function laboratory values within the ranges specified: Serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL; Hematological system: Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL or ≥5.6 mmol/L, Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm³, Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm³; Renal system: Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR eGFR ≥30 mL/min for patient with creatinine levels >1.5 × institutional ULN; Hepatic system: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for patients with total bilirubin levels >1.5 × ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN (≤5 × ULN for patients with liver metastases); Coagulation: INR OR PT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants, aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to treatment.

  • Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g., CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) and discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher irAE
  • Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study drug
  • Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines are allowed
  • Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
  • History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease that required steroids or current pneumonitis / interstitial lung disease
  • Active infection requiring systemic therapy
  • Known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years.
  • Known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study treatment
