Summary:

      This phase II trial studies the safety, tolerability and how well durvalumab and tremelimumab
      work in treating participants with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have not received
      chemotherapy (chemotherapy naïve) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic).
      Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the
      body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to
      grow and spread.
