This will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician.
  * AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤ 5x ULN
  * Serum creatinine level \<1.5 x ULN and CL\>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance:

Males:

--Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)

Females:

--Creatinine CL (mL/min) = Weight (kg) x (140 - Age) x 0.85 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)

* Female subjects must either be of non-reproductive potential (ie, post-menopausal by history: ≥60 years old and no menses for ≥1 year without an alternative medical cause; OR history of hysterectomy, OR history of bilateral tubal ligation, OR history of bilateral oophorectomy) or must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry.
* Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must commit to true abstinence from heterosexual contact or commit to the use of male condom plus spermicide throughout the course of the study, and avoid fathering a child during the course of the study (including dose interruptions) and for 6 months following the last dose of azacitidine.
* All men and women of childbearing potential must use acceptable methods of birth control throughout the study as described below:

Females of childbearing potential: Recommendation is for at least one highly effective contraceptive methods during the study and must agree to continue using such precautions for 180 days after the last dose of investigational product.

Non-sterilized males : Non-sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use male condom plus spermicide from screening through 180 days after the last dose of investigational product.

-Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follo

* Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of durvalumab (MEDI4736) or tremelimumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid
* Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE grade 2 from previous anti-cancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria.
* Patients with Grade \> 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be included after consultation with the Study Physician.

  --Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with their assigned IP (eg, hearing loss) may be included after consultation with the Study Physician.
