• * Gastric or esophageal varices that are untreated or incompletely treated with bleeding or high risk for bleeding. Subjects treated with adequate endoscopic therapy (according to institutional standards) without any episodes of recurrent GI bleeding requiring transfusion or hospitalization for at least 6 months prior to study entry are eligible.

• 5. Inability to swallow tablets.
• 6. Uncontrollable ascites or pleural effusion.
• 7. Cavitating pulmonary lesion(s) or known endotracheal or endobronchial disease manifestation.
• 8. Clinically significant hematuria, hematemesis, or hemoptysis of \>0.5 tsp (2.5ml) of red blood, or other history of significant bleeding within 12 weeks.
• 9. Any unresolved toxicity CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy

• 11. Major surgery (eg, Gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, removal or biopsy of brain metastasis) within 8 weeks before first dose of study treatment.
• 12. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses.
• 13. History of allogenic organ transplantation.
• 14. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders
• 15. History of active primary immunodeficiency
• 16. Active infection including tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus. HCC patients with hepatitis B or C infection are allowed per protocol specific criteria.
• 17. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose.
• 18. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sustained blood pressure (BP) \> 140 millimeter of mercury (mm Hg) systolic or \> 90 mm Hg diastolic despite optimal antihypertensive treatment.
• 19. Stroke, including transient ischemic attack (TIA), myocardial infarction (MI), or other ischemic event, or thromboembolic event (eg, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) within 6 months before first dose. Participants with a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) within 6 months are allowed if stable, asymptomatic, and treated with Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) for at least 2 weeks before first dose.
• 20. Has untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
