Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or borderline resectable
             pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Patients with clinical suspicion of pancreatic
             adenocarcinoma can be enrolled for pre-treatment biopsy, and must be histologically
             confirmed to have adenocarcinoma before being treated on study. Patients with squamous
             carcinoma, adenosquamous carcinoma or neuroendocrine tumor will be excluded. Tumor
             Biopsy can be omitted, if deemed by PI and treatment physician, that it may incur
             immediate, excessive health risks to patients. This determination (rationale and

             screening visit notes.

             treatment. Participants with toxicities attributed to prior anti-cancer therapy that
             are not expected to resolve and result in long lasting sequelae, such as neuropathy
             after platinum-based therapy, are permitted to enroll.

             receiving immunomodulatory agents at the time of enrollment.

        Note: daily use of low dose aspirin (e.g. 81 mg PO QD) is not considered an
        immunomodulatory agent and patients are still eligible for enrollment despite taking such
        medication at a low dose

          -  Participants with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Participants with
             vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune

             (> 10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within
             14 days of study treatment except for adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg daily
             prednisone equivalent in the absence of active autoimmune disease. Note: treatment
             with a short course of steroids (< 5 days) up to 7 days prior to initiating study
             treatment is permitted.

             acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Anti-retroviral agents are known to have potential
             adverse pharmacokinetic interactions with nivolumab and/or BMS-813160. IN addition,
             patients not on anti-retroviral agents, regardless of HIV viral load, are at increased
             risk of lethal infections with marrow-suppressive therapy including chemotherapy.
             Testing for HIV must be performed at sites mandated by local requirements.

                  pericarditis, significant pericardial effusion, or myocarditis)

          -  Major surgery within 28 days prior to the first study treatment. Participants must
             have recovered from the effects of major surgery or significant traumatic injury at
             least 14 days before the first dose of study treatment.

             strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 or P-gp is not allowed. These include but are
             not limited to Class I antiarrhythmics (eg, quinidine, procainamide, dysopiramide,
             lidocaine, phenytoin, mexiletine, tocainide, flecainide, propafenone, moricizine),

Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:(Part A only) Safety of the combination of BMS-813160 plus nivolumab plus gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as measured by frequency, type, and severity of adverse events
Time Frame:100 days after completion of treatment (approximately 7.5 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:(Part B only) Percentage of patients who disease becomes resectable after treatment
Time Frame:Completion of treatment (approximately 4 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:(Part B only) Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Through 3 years after surgical resection
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the days from the date of treatment and death or progression, which occurs first. Patients alive without progression or lost to follow-up are censored at the last follow-up. At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions).
Measure:(Part B only) Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Through 3 years after surgical resection
Safety Issue:
Description:OS is defined as days from date of treatment to date of death within 3 years after surgical resection. Patients alive or lost to follow-up are censored at the last treatment on study or 3 years after surgical resection, regardless of subsequent treatment received.
