No waiting period required following Port-a-Cath placement. Note: Local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable.

6. Palliative radiation therapy completed ≤ 7 days prior to start of study drugs.

7. No other anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal anti-cancer radiotherapy [except for palliative local radiotherapy]), biological therapy or other novel agent is permitted while the patient is receiving study medication. Patients on luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue treatment for more than 6 months are allowed entry into the study and can continue this treatment during the study.

8. Any unresolved NCI CTCAE Grade >1 toxicity from prior therapy (except alopecia or anorexia). Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with AZD1775 (adavosertib) or MEDI4736 (durvalumab) may be included after consultation with the Medical Monitor.

9. Inability to swallow oral medication.

10. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression unless the patient is stable (asymptomatic, no evidence of new or emerging brain metastases) and off steroids for at least 14 days prior to start of study treatment. Following radiotherapy and/or surgery, patients with brain metastases must wait 4 weeks following the intervention and must confirm stability with imaging before enrolment. Patients with suspected brain metastases at screening should have a CT/MRI of the brain prior to study entry. Brain metastases will not be recorded as RECIST target lesions (TL) at baseline.

11. History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.

12. Ascites requiring intervention (e.g. need for paracentesis or Tenckhoff catheter).

13. History of primary immunodeficiency.

14. History of tuberculosis.

15. Organ transplant that requires the use of immunosuppressive treatment.

23. Serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhoea within the past 12 months.

24. Pregnant or lactating.

27. Use of approved treatment (e.g. chemotherapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, or monoclonal antibody [mAb]) ≤ 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug. If there are questions relating to this criterion, a longer wash-out period may be required after discussion with the Medical Monitor.

28.

Please note: This does not include use of corticosteroids as part of antiemetic prophylaxis or treatment in relation to AZD1775 (adavosertib) dosing or steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g. CT scan premedication).

29. Any known allergy, hypersensitivity or contraindication to the components of the study drug AZD1775 (adavosertib) or MEDI4736 (durvalumab) or any of their excipients, or to corticosteroids.
