Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of Durvalumab plus Tremelimumab followed by concurrent Durvalumab plus bladder radiation in patients with localized muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, who are either Decipher-Non-Basal OR Decipher-Basal and cisplatin-ineligible. Eligible subjects will receive 2 cycles of Durvalumab plus Tremelimumab followed by imaging and cystoscopy. Subjects whose cancer responds or is stable will receive a combination of 2 cycles of Durvalumab plus 6.5 weeks of radiation to the bladder followed by imaging and a TURBT. Subjects whose cancer continues to respond and meets certain criteria will continue to receive Durvalumab for up to 12 months from initial dose or until the cancer recoccurs or progresses, whichever occurs earlier. During this time, subjects may also receive intravesicular therapy if clinically indicated. Subjects will be followed for 5 years from initial dose.

Exclusion Criteria:

3. Administration of an investigational therapeutic within 28 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1
4. Receipt of the last dose of anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumour embolization, monoclonal antibodies) ≤28 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
5. Prior pelvic radiation that precludes bladder radiation
6. Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study
7. Prior cystectomy
8. Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria

   1. Patients with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the Duke Principal Investigator.
   2. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab or tremelimumab may be included only after consultation with the Duke Principal Investigator.
9. Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational product, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
10. Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug
11. Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to the first dose of IP. Note: Local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable.
