Objective:

Primary Objective

To evaluate if the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to two schedules of radiation therapies (60 Gy in 30 fractions or 60 Gy in 15 fractions) is safe.

Secondary Objectives

To examine if the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to radiation therapy is feasible.
To assess toxicities associated with the addition of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) to radiation therapy.
To obtain preliminary estimates of progression-free survival (PFS), using RECIST guidelines, in patients who received MEDI4736 (durvalumab) added to radiation. Although the clinical benefit of MEDI4736 (durvalumab) in combination with radiotherapy has not yet been established, the intent of offering this treatment is to provide a possible therapeutic benefit, and thus the patient will be carefully monitored for tumor response.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Pathologic (cytological or histological) proof of diagnosis of stage II-III (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] 8th edition [ed.]) unresectable or inoperable, non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) within 60 days prior to registration, with no liver or renal end organ damage, as determined by normal laboratory values noted below.

Appropriate stage for study entry based on the following diagnostic workup:

History/physical examination within 30 days prior to registration;
Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan for staging within 30 days prior to registration (note: if CT portion of PET/CT scan is not of diagnostic quality, then a separate CT scan with contrast is required);
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain with contrast; if medically contraindicated, then CT scan of the brain with contrast (unless medically contraindicated) is acceptable, within 30 days prior to registration;

Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients, obtained within 14 days prior to registration. 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:

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)

Patients who are human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive may participate IF they meet the following eligibility requirements:

They must be stable on their anti-retroviral regimen, and they must be healthy from an HIV perspective
They must have a CD4 count of greater than 250 cells/mcL
They must not be receiving prophylactic therapy for an opportunistic infection

The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry

Exclusion Criteria:
