This will not apply to subjects 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. Serum ALT and AST ≤2.5 ULN (or if liver metastases are present must be ≤ 5x ULN) Serum creatinine CL>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance (see formula in section 4.1). I11. Patients must be free of significant comorbid conditions that would preclude safe administration or completion of protocol therapy. I12. Female patients must either be of non-reproductive potential (ie, postmenopausal ≥ 12 months with no menses without an alternative medical cause OR history of hysterectomy, OR history of bilateral tubal ligation, OR history of bilateral oophorectomy) or must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry (within 72 hours before study drug start). I13. Fertile men with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to use male condom plus spermicide and childbearing potential women must have agreed to use at least one highly effective contraceptive method during treatment on this trial and for up to 180 days after the last of dose of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab or 90 days after the last dose of Durvalumab monotherapy, whichever is the longer period.

Patient should be able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol. I15. Patients must be affiliated to a social security system or beneficiary of the same. Exclusion Criteria: E1. Any situation where the irradiation of the target site would imply reirradiation of a formerly irradiated tumor site. E2. Patients with any concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled disease which could compromise participation in the study including: Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Fredericia's Correction Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years. Of note, patient with vitiligo, Grave's disease or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded. Patients with type 1 diabetes or hypothyroidism stable under treatment or not requiring systemic treatment are eligible. Active or prior documented inflammatory bowel disease (eg Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) History of primary immunodeficiency Severe chronic or acute infection such as chronic HBV, HCV and HIV1, 2 infection, active tuberculosis infection Interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity or active non-infectious pneumonitis History of allogenic organ transplant Uncontrolled diabetes, Prior history of active bleeding diathesis or patients taking an oral vitamin K antagonist (except low-dose Coumadin (warfarin sodium)) Symptomatic congestive heart failure, Uncontrolled hypertension, Unstable angina pectoris Cardiac arrhythmia Active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, Any psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent Active secondary malignancy unless the malignancy is not expected to interfere with the evaluation of safety and is approved by the sponsor. Examples of the latter include basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, in-situ carcinoma of the cervix, and isolated elevation of prostate-specific antigen. Patients with a completely treated prior malignancy and no evidence of disease for ≥ 2 years are eligible. Chronic treatment with corticosteroids or another immunosuppressant E3. Patients with tumors that invade major vessels, as shown unequivocally by imaging studies E4. Patients with central lung metastasis (i.e within 2 cm from hilum) that are cavitary as shown unequivocally by imaging studies E5. Patients with a history of gross hemoptysis (bright red blood of 1/2 teaspoon or more per episode of coughing) ≤ 3 months prior enrolment E6. Major surgery within the last 4 weeks prior to entering the study E7. Persisting significant toxicities related to prior treatments i.e. ≥ Grade 2 AE according to CTCAE V4.03 except alopecia and biological values defined in inclusion criteria I10. E8. Current or planned use of forbidden concomitant medications : Any investigational anticancer therapy not specified in this protocol Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormones for noncancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. Immunosuppressive medications including, but not limited to systemic corticosteroids at doses exceeding 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent, methotrexate, azathioprine, and TNF-α blockers. Use of immunosuppressive medications for the management of investigational product-related AEs or in subjects with contrast allergies is acceptable. In addition, use of topical, inhaled and intranasal corticosteroids is permitted. Live attenuated vaccines within 90 days of Durvalumab dosing or within 180 days of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab dosing. Inactivated vaccines, such as the injectable influenza vaccine, are authorized. E9. Any prior Grade ≥ 3 irAE while receiving previous immunotherapy agent or any unresolved irAE > Grade 1. E10. Prior exposure to any anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 or anti-CTLA4 antibody. E11.
