  11. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

  12. Adequate blood count, liver-enzymes, and renal function:

  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count ANC ≥1.5 (or 1.0) x (> 1500per mm^3), platelets ≥100 (or 75) x 10^9/L (>75,000 per mm^3);

  • Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN);

  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional ULN unless liver metastases arepresent, in which case it must be ≤5x ULN;

  • International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.25.

  1. Albumin ≥ 31 g/dL.

  2. Measured creatinine clearance (CL) >40 mL/min or Calculated creatinine clearanceCL>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hoururine collection for determination of creatinine clearance.

  3. Female patients with reproductive potential must have a negative urine or serumpregnancy test within 7 days prior to start of trial and must use two effectiveforms of contraception if sexually active.

  4. Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must use any contraceptive method with afailure rate of less than 1% per year. Men receiving IMP and who are sexually activewith WOCBP will be instructed to adhere to contraception for a period of 7 monthsafter the last dose of investigational products (Durvalumab and Tremelimumab). Womenwho are not of childbearing potential (i.e. who are postmenopausal or surgicallysterile) as well as azoospermic men do not require contraception).

  5. If patient has concurrent Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV)infection, meets the following criteria:

  • Patients with HBV or HCV infection should be monitored for viral levels duringstudy participation;

  • Patients with detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or detectable HBVDNA should have HBV DNA < 100 IU/ml and should be managed per local treatmentguidelines. Controlled (treated) hepatitis B subjects will be allowed if theystarted treatment at the time point of enrollment into the study by the latestand treatment is continued during study participation and for ≥ 6 months afterend of study treatment;

  • HCV patients with advanced HCC are mostly not treated for their HCV infection.However, patients treated for HCV are considered suitable for inclusion ifantiviral therapy has been completed prior to first administration of studydrug.

  1. Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of thestudy including

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Diffuse HCC or presence of vascular invasion or extrahepatic spread with thefollowing exception: o Invasion of a segmental portal vein or hepatic veins.

  2. Patients with advanced liver disease as defined below: o liver cirrhosis with stage Child Pugh B and C.

  3. Any contraindications for hepatic embolization procedures:

  • Known hepatofugal blood flow;

  • Known porto-systemic shunt;

  • Impaired clotting test (platelet count < 70 x 10^9/L, INR > 1.25);

  • Renal failure/insufficiency requiring hemo-or peritoneal dialysis;

  • Known severe atheromatosis;

  • Total thrombosis or total invasion of the main branch of the portal vein.

The following are exceptions tothis criterion:

  • Patients with vitiligo or alopecia

  • Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable onhormone replacement

  • Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy

  • Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but onlyafter consultation with the study physician

  • Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone

  1. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the IMPs or any of the constituents ofthe product.
