ArmTypeDescription
Pancreatic CancerEXPERIMENTALDurvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks, in combination with gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (day 1/8/15) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients.
Hepatocellular CancerEXPERIMENTALDurvalumab will be administered once every 4 weeks in combination with continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients.
Biliary Tract CancerEXPERIMENTALDurvalumab will be administered once every 3 weeks, in combination with cisplatin + gemcitabine (day 1/8) and continuous propranolol. Tremelimumab will be given on day 1 of cycle 1, which may be repeated at the time of progression in eligible patients.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
DurvalumabBIOLOGICALIt is a human immunoglobulin G1 kappa monoclonal antibody that blocks the interaction of programmed cell death ligand 1 with the PD-1. Durvalumab is known as a checkpoint inhibitor drug
GemcitabineDRUGGemcitabine is a nucleoside analog and a chemotherapeutic agent. As a prodrug, gemcitabine is transformed into its active metabolites that work by replacing the building blocks of nucleic acids during DNA elongation, arresting tumour growth and promoting apoptosis of malignant cells
Nab paclitaxelDRUGNanoparticle albumin-bound (nab) paclitaxel is a form of paclitaxel which works as an antimicrotubule agent. Paclitaxel, the active ingredient in nab-paclitaxel promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes microtubules by preventing depolymerization. This interferes with the normal dynamic reorganization of the microtubule network required for interphase and mitotic functions
TremelimumabBIOLOGICALTremelimumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against CTLA-4. It is an immune checkpoint blocker.
PropranololDRUGCompetitively blocks both β1 and β2 adrenergic receptors.
CisplatinDRUGcisplatin has been associated with ability to crosslink with the urine bases on the DNA to form DNA adducts, preventing repair of the DNA leading to DNA damage and subsequently induces apoptosis within cancer cells.
