Dexamethasone used for paclitaxel premedication is allowed.
9. Any prior Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE >Grade 1
10. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease (eg, 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 (eg, 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.

11, History of primary immunodeficiency 12, History of allogeneic organ transplant 13. History of hypersensitivity to durvalumab or tremelimumab 14. History of anaphylaxis reactions to taxanes 15. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active bleeding diatheses including any subject known to have evidence of acute or chronic active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent 16. Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings), hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies).
