• Females of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within ≤ 7 days prior to registration. If a urine test is done and it is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
• Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a male able to father a child must be willing to abstain from penile-vaginal intercourse or use an effective method(s) of contraception. Males able to father a child who are sexually active with a female of childbearing potential must be willing to abstain from penile-vaginal intercourse or use an effective method(s) of contraception
• Subjects infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are eligible if they meet all the following criteria: * CD4 count is ≥ 350 cells/uL, viral load is undetectable, and not taking prohibited cytochrome (CYP)-interacting medications * Probable long-term survival with HIV if cancer were not present * Stable on a highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen for ≥ 4 weeks and willing to adhere to their HAART regimen with minimal overlapping toxicity and drug-drug interactions with the experimental agents in this study * HIV is not multi-drug resistant * Taking medication and/or receiving antiretroviral therapy that does not interact or have overlapping toxicities with the study medication NOTE: Testing is not required at screening unless mandated by local policy
• Subjects with known chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, must have an undetectable HBV viral load on suppressive therapy, if indicated. Subjects with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For subjects with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, the HCV viral load must be undetectable to be eligible for this trial. NOTE: Testing is not required at screening unless mandated by local policy

Exclusion Criteria

• Adenocarcinoma originating in the ampulla or appendix (duodenal tumors that involve the ampulla but originate in the duodenum are eligible)
• Neuroendocrine or any other histology different than adenocarcinoma
• Prior treatment with irinotecan
• Prior treatment of SBA in the metastatic setting with surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or investigational therapy: * Palliative radiotherapy is permitted but lesions in a prior radiation field must have progressed subsequent to radiotherapy to be considered measurable * Placement of biliary stent/tube is permitted
• Known history of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. (subjects on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids and deemed clinically stable as per the investigator’s assessment are eligible)

• Active infection or an unexplained fever > 38.5 degree Celsius (°C) during screening visits or on the first scheduled day of dosing (at the discretion of the investigator, subjects with tumor fever may be enrolled), which in the investigator’s opinion might compromise the subject’s participation in the study or affect the study outcome
• Major surgery, other than diagnostic surgery, within 4 weeks prior to consent
• Use of strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A, CYP2C8 and UGT1A1. Subjects are ineligible if: * They are unable to discontinue the use of strong inhibitors of CYP3A, CYP2C8 and UGT1A1 at least 1 week prior to consent * They are unable to discontinue the use of strong CYP3A and CYP2C8 inducers at least 2 weeks prior to consent
