Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Age ≥18 years.

          2. Have histologically or cytologically proven cholangiocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of
             the pancreas that is metastatic or unresectable.

          3. ECOG performance status 0 or 1

          4. Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks.

          5. Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function defined by study-specified
             laboratory tests.

          6. Woman of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.

          7. Must have progressive measurable disease.

          8. Must have an accessible non-bone tumor that can be biopsied.

          9. Must use acceptable form of birth control while on study.

         10. Willing to provide tissue and blood samples.

         11. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, investigational therapy, or surgery less than 3 weeks
             prior to trial registration

          2. Prior treatment with epigenetic therapy (such as entinostat, panobinostat, vorinostat,
             romidepsin, 5-azacitidine, or decitabine)

          3. Prior treatment with immunotherapy agents (including, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1,
             anti-PD-L2, anti-CTLA4, etc.).

          4. Hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody.
