Summary

In this study we aim to test the efficacy of a combined and novel approach including induction chemotherapy (per standard of care) followed by SBRT and maintenance ipililumab + nivolumab in the first line setting of stage IV PDAC.

Study Hypothesis:

Cytotoxic chemotherapy followed by hypofractionated radiotherapy will sensitize pancreatic cancer to immunotherapy consisting of combined PD-1 and CTLA4 blockade. We hypothesize that direct targeting of the pancreatic cancer cells by chemotherapy and hypofractionated radiotherapy is necessary for initial anti-tumor response. Furthermore, the combination of immunotherapy as a maintenance strategy will have profound anti-tumor efficacy in this setting.

Implications of hypothesis:

* Improved response rate above historical controls
* Lengthened progression-free survival
* Improved overall-survival

Exploratory Hypothesis:

We hypothesize that baseline markers of immune activation such as Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes and CD8+ lymphocytes will correlate with response to ipililumab + nivolumab and that responders will have distinct tumor immune phenotype as determined by immunohistochemistry and gene expression profiling compared to nonresponders.
