What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The objectives of this study is to estimate the biological activity of combination chemotherapy and radiation versus radiation alone in patients with Hepato Cellular Carcinoma (HCC).
The study hypothesizes is that combination chemotherapy and radiation is superior to radiation alone in inducing a biological response. The study hypothesizes that combination chemotherapy and radiation is superior to radiation alone in inducing a biological response. A biological response, or change in the tumor microenvironment (TME), is defined by reduced infiltration of intra-tumoral regulatory T cells (Tregs), a decrease in tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) of the M2 phenotype, and an increase in immune cells such as effector CD8+ T-cells. An increased rate of biological response is therefore expected in participants receiving the combination of Durvalumab, Tremelimumab, and stereotactic body radiat

๐ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
* Radiologically or biopsy proven solitary HCC without biliary invasion or metastases, Liver Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (LI- RADS) 4 or 5 only. Participants with satellite tumour nodules are eligible. Satellitosis or a satellite nodule is defined as a tumour (LI-RADS 4 or 5 only) less than or equal to 2 cm and located less than or equal to 2 cm from the main tumour.
Tumour less than 12 cm in maximum size on CT or MRI.
Planned surgical resection of HCC with a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
Age \>18 years at time of study entry.
Child-Pugh Class A within 14 days prior to study enrollment
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) of 0 or 1 (see Appendix 3)
Body weight \>30 kg at time of study enrollment
Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
Haemoglobin โฅ9.0 g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC โฅ1.0 ร 109 /L)
Platelet count โฅ75 ร 109/L
Serum bilirubin โค1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN).
AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) โค2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal
Measured creatinine clearance (CL) \>40 mL/min or Calculated creatinine clearance CL\>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance:
Males:
Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age)72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)
Females:
Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) x 0.85 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)
Patient is capable and willing to provide signed informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previous therapy for HCC, including systemic therapy, surgery, radiation therapy, ablation or embolization.
Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks or 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.
Any concurrent chemotherapy, IP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
Previous radiation therapy or surgery within 4 weeks of the randomization.
Previous allogenic organ transplantation
Previous anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or anti-CTLA-4 therapy
Previous receipt of durvalumab and / or tremelimumab or allergy to it
Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade โฅ2 from previous anticancer therapy except for alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria
Patients with Grade โฅ2 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.
Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[with the exception of diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.\]). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement
Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician
Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone
History of active primary immunodeficiency
Conditions that would preclude administration of durvalumab and / or tremelimumab
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent
Known active hepatitis infection, positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) or HBV core antibody (anti-HBc), at screening. Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of antiHBc and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.

b.4. Patients with HBV infection, characterized by positive HBsAg and/or anti-HBcAb with undetectable HBV DNA (\< 10 IU/ml or under the limit of detection per local lab standard) do not require antiviral therapy prior to enrollment. These patients will be tested once for HBV DNA levels; if HBV DNA is detected (โฅ 10 IU/ml or above the limit of detection per local lab standard), antiviral therapy must be initiated, continued for the study duration and for 6 months after the last dose of IP.
