Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
21 days after the first immunotherapy treatment, a radiotherapy course of 11 fractions of 3 Gy (total of 33 Gy) will be administrated to metastatic or primary lesion/s over two weeks and one day. The second durvalumab treatment will be administered at the beginning of the 2nd week of radiotherapy, one week after radiotherapy start day.
Following patients consent, a fresh biopsy specimen will be obtained (if not previously obtained after PD) for correlative studies, preferably from site of disease progression on first line immunotherapy.
In addition, tissue samples will be obtained from both existing archived biopsy (diagnostic specimen), if available. An optional newly biopsied tissue sample will be taken 20 weeks after initiation of study treatment and at the time of progression on study treatment. Biopsy at PD is mandatory if can be performed with no significant risk.
Blood and microbiome samples for correlative studies will be taken at predefined intervals, to explore predictive biomarkers for clinical efficacy, determine pharmacodynamic effects on immune cells, determine immune response signatures.
Tumor imaging should be acquired by CT and include the chest, abdomen, and pelvis with and without IV contrast and with oral contrast. CT should be performed at baseline and every 8 weeks until objective radiological disease progression assessed as per RECIST 1.1.
Patients who have discontinued treatment should be seen at end of treatment and 28 days post discontinuation for the evaluations outlined in the study schedule. Patients will be contacted every 90 days following discontinuation visit to capture survival status.
Any patient who discontinues study treatment for reasons other than objective radiological progression should continue to undergo scheduled objective tumor assessments according to the study schedule in order to assess objective radiological progression of disease.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Have been previously treated with one prior immunotherapy (i.e. anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies, with or without chemotherapy) for advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Additional systemic treatment lines for metastatic disease are not allowed.
1. Previous chemotherapy treatment lines administered earlier for non-metastatic disease (adjuvant, neo-adjuvant) are allowed if completed more than six months prior to diagnosis of advanced disease.
2. Patients recurring within six months of end of adjuvant/maintenance immunotherapy (e.g. durvalumab post-chemorads) are eligible for the study if no additional systemic treatment was administered prior to enrollment on the study (this situation is considered equivalent to progression on first-line immunotherapy).
* Documented radiologic progression on immunotherapy. Minimal treatment time on first-line immunotherapy is 12 weeks. Progressive disease needs to be confirmed by a repeat scan performed at least 4 weeks after the first objective progression.
* Availability of at least 1 disease site not previously irradiated to serve as a target for radiotherapy. However, a disease site that progressed after having received previously radiotherapy can serve as a radiotherapy target on this trial.
* Availability of at least 1 measurable lesion not previously irradiated that is not planned to be irradiated during the study and measurable as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.
* Availability of at least 1 disease site suitable for biopsy procedure (unless the patient has had a biopsy postprogression on immunotherapy), preferably, at site of disease progression on immunotherapy. Fine needle aspirate , ascites or effusion specimens are not acceptable . Selected sites for biopsy can serve afterwards as radiotherapy targets.
* Patient must have had a treatment free interval of at least 4 weeks from any prior therapy (includes major surgery) before starting of study drugs.
Minor surgical procedures (as defined by the investigator): 7 post-operative days.
Patients who receive palliative radiation for nontarget tumour lesions need a washout period of 7 days.
* Have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 and a minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.

1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 × 109/L.
2. Platelet count ≥ 75× 109/L.
3. Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
4. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) if no demonstrable liver metastases or ≤ 5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases.
5. Total bilirubin (TBL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN or for patients with documented/suspected Gilbert's disease, bilirubin ≤ 2 × ULN.
6. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (creatinine clearance can be measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation; measurement/calculation is only required when creatinine is \>1.5 × ULN).

Female subjects of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. 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:

* Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception for the course of the study through 180 days after the last dose of study medication.
* Male subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an adequate method of contraception, starting with the first dose of study therapy through 180 days after the last dose of study therapy.
* Any prior immune-related adverse events grade 3 or higher (as per CTCAE version 5.0).

Exclusion Criteria
* Prior exposure to anti CTLA-4, including tremelimumab
* All potential radiotherapy targets involve high risk of significant toxicity.
* Mixed response to immunotherapy, where growth occurred only in a single lesion that is amendable to curative-intent radiotherapy (this criteria aims to exclude patients more likely to benefit from targeted radiotherapy to the growing mass and continuation of immunotherapy).
