Durvalumab in combination with Tremelimumab (Cohort A dose)ExperimentalStarting at week 2, after initial DEB-TACE treatment, patients will receive Durvalumab in combination with tremelimumab, as specified per protocol (Cohort A dose). Treatment will continue for up to 12 months, while receiving DEB-TACE. Repeat DEB-TACE will be provided Q8W if there is residual tumor that can be targeted.
