Inclusion Criteria:

For inclusion in the study, patients should fulfill the following criteria:

1. Written informed consent and any locally-required authorization (e.g., HIPAA in the USA, EU Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations
2. Age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG performance status of 0 or 1)
4. Life expectancy of ≥ 12 weeks
5. Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L (\> 1500 per mm3) Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L (\>100,000 per mm3) Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (for patients with a diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome, direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN) 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 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)
6. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized male partner must use a highly effective method of contraception from the time of screening, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 180 days after the final dose of investigational product. Cessation of contraception after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception. Female subjects must also refrain from egg cell donation for 180 days after the final dose of investigational product.

   A) Females of childbearing potential are defined as those who are not surgically sterile (i.e. bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete hysterectomy) or those who are not postmenopausal (defined as 12 months with no menses with postmenopausal gonadotropin levels \[luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone\], or estradiol levels within the postmenopausal range according to local guidelines without an alternative medical cause).

   B) A highly effective method of contraception is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.
7. 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 follow up.
8. Subjects must have a histologically confirmed diagnosis of small cell lung carcinoma. A fresh, pre-treatment tumor biopsy will be required to evaluate tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, PD-L1 IHC staining, methylation status, etc. as outlined in the study timeline. All subjects are also required to have a C1D8 (or C2D8) biopsy.
9. Subjects must have extensive-stage disease (by NCCN criteria) that is progressive or relapsed after platinum-based chemotherapy.
10. Tumor burden must be radiographically measurable by RECIST criteria.
11. At time of Day 1 of the study, subjects with central nervous system metastases must have been treated and must be asymptomatic and meet the following:

    1. No concurrent treatment, inclusive of but not limited to surgery, radiation, and/or corticosteroids
    2. Neurologic stability (lack of signs and symptoms greater than baseline prior to XRT) until the time of dosing
    3. For radiation treatment, there should be at least 14 days between the last day of stereotactic radiosurgery or gamma-knife treatment and Day 1 of protocol treatment. For WBRT, there should be at least 28 days between last day of WBRT and Day 1 of protocol treatment.
    4. Note: patients with leptomeningeal disease or cord compression are excluded from the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects should not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled:

1. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site).
2. Previous enrollment in the present study.
3. Participation in another clinical study with an investigational product during the last 4 weeks.
4. Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab or an anti-CTLA4, including tremelimumab
5. Any previous treatment with a hypomethylating agent, including decitabine, azacitidine, or SGI-110.
6. History of another primary malignancy except for:

   * Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥ 5 years before the first dose of study drug and of low potential risk for recurrence
   * Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease
   * Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease e.g., cervical cancer in situ
7. Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal antibodies, gamma-knife, other investigational agent) ≤ 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug. For WBRT, the washout period is 28 days. Local treatment of isolated lesions for palliative RT (by radiotherapy, for example) is acceptable.
8. Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥ 470 ms calculated from electrocardiogram (in triplicate, if applicable) using Fredericia's Correction
9. Liver cirrhosis or chronic liver disease Childs-Pugh B or C.
10. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of durvalumab 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.
11. Receipt of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib within 90 days before the first dose of study therapy.
12. Any unresolved toxicity ( \> CTCAE grade 2) from previous anti-cancer therapy.
13. Any prior Grade ≥ 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE \>Grade 1
14. Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years NOTE: Subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded.

21. Known history of active tuberculosis
22. Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or cord compression
23. Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry or within 30 days of receiving durvalumab or tremelimumab
24. Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding, or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ a highly effective method of contraception from screening to 180 days after the last dose of investigational therapy.
25. Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of study treatment or interpretation of patient safety or study results
26. Symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastases requiring concurrent treatment (surgery, RT, corticosteroids)
27. Subjects with uncontrolled seizures.
28. Concomitant use of drugs with laxative properties and/or herbal/natural remedies for constipation. These agents should be avoided for 90 days after the last dose of investigational therapy, given the potential for exacerbation of diarrhea.

Procedures for withdrawal of incorrectly enrolled patients are presented in Section 5.5.1. If a patient withdraws from participation in the study, then his or her enrollment/randomization code cannot be reused. Withdrawn patients will not be replaced.
