• Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as ≥20 mm with conventional techniques or as ≥10 mm with spiral CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam. Patients must have at least 1 biopsiable liver metastasis.

• Patients can have received one prior therapy for metastatic disease, excepting for treatments listed in exclusion criteria.

• Patients must be 18 years of age or older at time of study entry.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1.

• Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in the protocol.

Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to patients 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 Coordinating Investigator. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) in the absence of liver metastases. If liver metastases are present, both AST and ALT must be no more than 5 x ULN. Creatinine clearance >30 ml/min calculated by Cockcroft-Gault or another validated method.

Subjects with 2+ proteinuria on dipstick must also have UPC < 0.5 on 2 consecutive samples.

• Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential as confirmed by a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to inclusion. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: Amenorrheic for ≥1 year in the absence of chemotherapy and/or hormonal treatments. Luteinizing hormone (LH) and/or follicle stimulating hormone and/or estradiol levels in the post-menopausal range. Radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago. Chemotherapy induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses. Surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).

• Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up.

• Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

• Subjects must be able to swallow and retain oral medications and be without clinically significant gastrointestinal illnesses that would preclude absorption of cediranib.

Patients with untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis identified either on the baseline brain imaging [RECIST]) obtained during the screening period or identified prior to signing the ICF. Patients whose brain metastases have been treated may participate provided they show radiographic stability (defined as 2 brain images, both of which are obtained after treatment to the brain metastases. These imaging scans should both be obtained at least four weeks apart and show no evidence of intracranial progression). In addition, any neurologic symptoms that developed either as a result of the brain metastases or their treatment must have resolved or be stable either, without the use of steroids, or are stable on a steroid dose of ≤10mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent and anticonvulsants, for at least 14 days prior to the start of treatment. Brain metastases will not be recorded as RECIST Target Lesions at baseline.

• Patients weighing <30kg will be excluded from enrollment.

• Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks.

• 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.

• Receipt of the last dose of anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal antibodies) ≤28 days prior to the first dose of study drug If sufficient wash-out time has not occurred due to the schedule or PK properties of an agent, a longer wash-out period will be required, as agreed by Sponsor designated Coordinating Investigator and Principal Investigator.

• 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: Patients with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the Coordinating Investigator. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included only after consultation with the Coordinating Investigator.

• Any concurrent chemotherapy, IMP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment different to cediranib and/or durvalumab. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
