Summary

Background:

\- Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is used to treat cancer. It is a way of giving very focused beams of radiation to tumors. Researchers think that the drugs being used in this study might work better when combined with SBRT in people with pancreatic cancer.

Objective:

\- To study the safety and effectiveness of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) and/or tremelimumab with SBRT.

Eligibility:

\- People 18 and older who have pancreatic cancer that has not responded or to chemotherapy. They must be candidates for radiation but not resection.

Design:

* Participants will be screened with medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests. Their tumor will be measured using computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
* Participants will have their tumor biopsied with a needle. They will have also have a biopsy after cycle 1.
* Participants will get 1 or 2 drugs in combination with the SBRT.
* For MEDI4736, the duration of each cycle will be 28-days. Participants will get the drug through an intravenous (IV) infusion twice in each cycle (Days 1 and 15).
* For tremelimumab, the duration of the first 6 cycles will each last 28 days. Then the duration of the last 3 cycles will change to 12 weeks. Participants will get the drug through an IV once in each cycle.
* All participants will have SBRT. Some will get 1 dose of radiation and some will get 5. CT scans will map their tumor.
* Participants will have medical history, physical exam, and blood tests in each cycle. They will have a CT scan or MRI every 8 weeks. Cycles will continue for up to 12 months.
* Participants will be contacted yearly for follow-up.
