Primary Outcome Measures	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR assessed by (RECIST) version 1.1 and CT scanning every 9 weeks for the first 9 cycles (27 weeks), then 12 weekly	Through study completion, an average of 2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures	Measure Description	Time Frame
Incidence of adverse events (Safety and toxicity)	Safety and toxicity using NCI CTCAE version 5.0	Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Duration of Response (DOR)	DOR: the time (in days) from the first documentation of objective response (complete response or partial response, confirmed or unconfirmed, whichever status was recorded first, using RECIST criteria) until the first documented disease progression, or death (if before progression	Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Progression Free Survival (PSF)	PFS: the time from registration to disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed by the treating investigators. Patients who remained alive without disease progression at the time of data analyses are censored at their last date of clinical follow-up for progression. Median, 1 year and 2 year PFS rates will be measured	through study completion, a maximum of 2 years
Overall survival (OS)	OS: the time from registration to death. Patients who remain alive are censored at their last contact date for OS. Median, 1 year and 2 year OS rates will be measured.	through study completion, a maximum of 2 year
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life of Cancer Patients questionnaire (EORTC QLQC30)	EORTC QLQC30 quality of life questionnaire. Min score 28, maximum score 112. Higher scores equal worse outcome. (Extra 2 questions: min score 1, max score 7 each. Higher scores equals better outcomes.)	Every 9 weeks during the first 27 weeks and then every 12 weeks until death or maximum of 2 years
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Pancreatic Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC PAN26)	EORTC PAN26 quality of life questionnaire. Min score 26, maximum score 104. Higher scores equals worse outcomes.	Every 9 weeks during the first 27 weeks and then every 12 weeks until death or maximum of 2 years

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person’s general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:
ALL

Sexes Eligible for Study:
18 Years

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Aged ≥ 18 years old
Written informed consent
Histologically or cytologically confirmed PDA
Confirmation that the PDA has TMB >4 mutations/Mb, or dMMR gene mutation, or MSI-H by IHC
Radiologically confirmed stage 4 mPDA, with measurable disease
Received no more than 1 prior systemic therapy regimen for unresectable (stage 3 or 4) PDA is allowed
Measurable disease which has not been irradiated in prior radiotherapy
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1
Life expectancy >12 weeks from the date of screening assessment
Adequate bone marrow function:

Requirement for non-physiological dose of daily oral steroids, or regular use of any other immunosuppressive agents; prednisolone dose of < 10mg (or equivalent steroid dose) is allowed. Use of inhaled or topical steroids is allowed.
Significant acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, disease or laboratory abnormality, which in the judgment of the investigator would place the patient at undue risk or interfere with the trial. Examples include, but are not limited to:

Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e. without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention
Has myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or with features suggestive of MDS/AML.
Women who are pregnant, or plan to become pregnant or are lactating.
Women of child-bearing potential and male patients who are unwilling to adhere to the contraception requirement from informed consent until the last dose of the trial treatment and for 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
Patients unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with absorption of the trial medication.
Concomitant use of known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers. Restrictions relating to concomitant medications are described in section 10.9. Please consider wash-out periods.
Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to screening.
Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to pembrolizumab and/or any of its excipients
Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.
Has received a live vaccine or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines is allowed.
Participant received colony-stimulating factors (e.g., granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM CSF] or recombinant erythropoietin) within 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
Participant has persistent toxicities (>CTCAE Grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia.
Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant
Judgment by the Investigator that the patient should not participate in the trial.
