Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor M7824 and the Immunocytokine M9241 in Combination With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in Adults With Advanced Pancreas Cancer

Background: Fewer than 10 percent of people with pancreas cancer can have surgery. Surgery gives the best outcome. Radiation therapy is usually used to make surgery possible. But it does not work for most people. Adding immunotherapy might help. Objective: To find a safe combined dose of M7824, M9241, and radiation and to see if it causes pancreas cancer tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have pancreas cancer and cannot have curative surgery Design: Participants will be screened under protocol 01-C-0129 with: Medical history Physical exam Heart, urine, and blood tests Scans. For this, participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. They may receive a contrast agent by vein. Possible tumor biopsy Participants will take the study drugs either alone or with radiation. They will get M7824 by vein every 2 weeks. They will get M9241 injected under the skin every 4 weeks. Participants who get radiation will get it 5 days in a row the first month. Participants will have visits every 2 weeks. They will repeat screening tests. If participants tumors shrink, they will have surgery. If their whole tumor is removed, they will stop treatment. They will otherwise continue treatment as long as they can tolerate it and it is helping them. Participants will have visits 1 week and 1 month after they stop treatment. Then they will be contacted by phone or email for life. If they stop treatment for a reason other than their disease getting worse, they will have scans every 12 weeks.

Metarrestin (ML-246) in Subjects With Metastatic Solid Tumors

Background: Metastasis is the spread of cancer from one organ to a nonadjacent organ. It causes 90% of cancer deaths. No treatment specifically prevents or reduces metastasis. Researchers hope a new drug can help. It stops cancer cells from growing and spreading further and possibly shrink cancer lesions in distant organs. Objective: To find a safe dose of metarrestin and to see if this dose shrinks tumors. Eligibility: Adults age 18 and older with pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, or a solid tumor that has not been cured by standard therapies. Also, children age 12-17 with a solid tumor (other than a muscle tumor) with no standard therapy options. Design: Participants will be screened with: blood tests physical exam documentation of disease confirmation or tumor biopsy electrocardiogram to evaluate the heart review of their medicines and their ability to do their normal activities Participants will take metarrestin by mouth until they cannot tolerate it or stop to benefit from it. They will keep a medicine diary. Participants will visit the Clinical Center. During the first month there are two brief hospital stays required with visits weekly or every other week thereafter. They will repeat some of the screening tests. They will fill out questionnaires. They will have tests of their cognitive function. They will have an electroencephalogram to record brain activity. They will have a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A CT is a series of X-rays of the body. An MRI uses magnets and radio waves to take pictures of the body. Adult participants may have tumor biopsies. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Then they will have follow-up phone calls or emails every 6 months for the rest of their life or until the study ends.
