Durvalumab with/without Tremelimumab after Radiation for Advanced Liver Cancer
This study is for people with advanced liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) that has spread or is getting worse. It's testing how well a combination of treatments works: standard radiation therapy (hypofractionated radiation therapy) followed by either durvalumab alone or durvalumab with tremelimumab. These drugs are immunotherapies, meaning they work by helping your body's immune system fight cancer. They aim to block signals that stop the immune system from attacking cancer cells. The study is looking for about 21 participants, aged 18 and older, who have been diagnosed with liver cancer. Researchers will measure how many patients respond to the treatment (objective response rate) over two years. You may be eligible if your cancer has progressed after other immunotherapy, or if you haven't had prior PD-(L)1 checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.

Eligibility criteria
Inclusion
Hemoglobin \>= 9.0 g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,200/microliter (mcL)
Platelet count \>= 60,000/mcL
Serum bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal. This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =\< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present in which case it can be =\< 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
International normalized ratio (INR) \< 1.5
Creatinine clearance \> 30 mL/min by Cockcroft Gault formula. 8. No contraindication to immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. 9. No contraindication to RT. 10. Age \>=18 years at time of study entry. 11. Life expectancy of \>= 12 weeks. 12. Body weight \> 30 kg (66.1 pounds). 13. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:
Women \< 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy)
Women \>= 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses \> 1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses \> 1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy) 14. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception from the time of screening through the duration of study participation and for at least 6 months after receiving combination of durvalumab plus tremelimumab and 3 months after last dose of durvalumab. 15. Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. 16. Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization (e.g., Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in the United States (US) obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
Patients with grade \>= 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the study physician
Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab or tremelimumab may be included only after consultation with the study physician 8. Concurrent enrollment in another interventional clinical study, except only in the follow-up period of that study. 9. Participation in another interventional clinical study with an investigational product during the past 4 weeks except only in the follow-up period of that study. 10.

What this trial measures
- Objective response rate (ORR)Up to 2 years
Response is defined per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 as a complete response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (CR+PR=ORR) excluding radiation therapy-treated lesions. Response will be assessed after participants complete 5 fractions of standard palliative radiotherapy (RT). Proportion of participants with a confirmed response and corresponding exact confidence intervals will be reported by Arm. Participants with unevaluable or unknown response status will be considered non-responders
