This is an interventional treatment trial for Metastatic Pancreas Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Written informed consent and any locally-required authorization (e.g., HIPAA in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations
- Age > 18 years at time of study entry.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
- Life expectancy of ≥12 weeks as estimated by the investigator.
- Biopsy-proven metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma with progression through standard first-line chemotherapy. Chemotherapy given as part of prior chemoradiation in the setting of non-metastatic pancreatic cancer does not count as a line of therapy.
- ≥2 radiographically distinct and measurable pancreatic cancer lesions (primary and/or metastatic lesions) by RECIST 1.1 criteria separated by ≥5 cm
- No lesion that would receive RT >7 cm in greatest dimension.
- Subjects must consent to all study procedures described in the protocol including radiographic evaluation and repeated blood draws.
Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (> 1500 per mm3)
- Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L (>100,000 per mm3)
- Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician.
- AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤ 5x ULN
- Serum creatinine CL>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance:
Males:
Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) / . 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)
Females:
Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) x 0.85 / 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)

Male or female patients of reproductive potential need to employ two highly effective and acceptable forms of contraception throughout their participation in the study and for 90 days after last dose of study drug.
- Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up.
Exclusion Criteria:

- Previous enrollment in the present study
- Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab
- Prior RT to any lesion that would receive RT on this protocol.
- Prior RT that could lead to an unacceptably high risk of clinically significant normal tissue injury due to high cumulative normal tissue dose as determined by the investigator.

- Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Fridericia's Correction
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of durvalumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid
- Any unresolved toxicity (>grade 2, CTCAE version 4.03) from previous anti-cancer therapy. Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by the investigational product may be included (e.g., hearing loss, peripherally neuropathy.
- Any prior Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE >Grade 1
- Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years NOTE: Subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded.
- Active or prior documented inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)
- History of primary immunodeficiency
- History of allogeneic organ transplant
- History of liver cirrhosis and Child-Pugh class B or C
- History of hypersensitivity to durvalumab or any excipient
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses, any subject known to have evidence of acute or chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent
- Known history of previous clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis
- History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis
- Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry or within 30 days of receiving durvalumab
- Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control
- Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of study treatment or interpretation of patient safety or study results
- Symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastases requiring concurrent treatment, inclusive of but not limited to surgery, radiation and/or corticosteroids.
- Subjects with uncontrolled seizures.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Label
Durvalumab + Radiation therapy
Arm Description
Durvalumab (MEDI4736) 750 mg (or 10mg/kg if the patient weighs <30 kg) IV Q2W over 1 hour for all patients + Radiation therapy First lesion to receive 25 Gy / 5 daily consecutive fractions of 5 Gy Second lesion to receive15 Gy / 5 daily consecutive fractions
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Improvement in median Progression Free Survival using the combination of RT and durvalumab.
The primary objective will be to evaluate whether the combination of RT and durvalumab improves median PFS compared to historical control in metastatic pancreas cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy. PFS is defined as the time from the date of durvalumab initiation to the date of pancreatic cancer progression or death, whichever occurs first. This is a clinically relevant and appropriate endpoint for a phase II trial and since there are no prior studies using immune checkpoint blockade with concurrent RT for metastatic pancreatic cancer will allow for historical comparison to PFS using second-line chemotherapy.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Research Hypothesis: The combination of ionizing radiation and immunotherapy (durvalumab) is well tolerated and stimulates a clinically significant pancreas-cancer specific immune response.
The primary objective will be to evaluate whether the combination of RT and durvalumab can improve median PFS compared to chemotherapy historical control data in metastatic pancreas cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy.
The primary intent of RT in this study is to augment a pancreatic cancer-specific immune response when given with durvalumab.
Detailed Description
This clinical trial will use the combination of ionizing radiation and immunotherapy durvalumab (MEDI4736). It is the investigators hypothesis that this combination of ionizing radiation and immunotherapy is well tolerated and stimulates a clinically significant pancreas-cancer specific immune response. This trial's primary objective will be to evaluate whether the combination of RT and durvalumab can improve median PFS compared to chemotherapy historical control data in metastatic pancreas cancer patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy. The study population includes the metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients who have progressed through first-line chemotherapy. The number of subjects proposed to complete this study is 55.
