X ULN (for patients with known liver involvement: AST and ALT =5 x ULN).; bilirubin =
1.5 mg/dL (unless diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome); Coagulation International
Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) and Activated Partial Thromboplastin
Time (aPTT) =1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT

plan, hospitalization for treatment (if needed) and scheduled follow-up visits and
examinations as outlined in the protocol, including procedures undertaken to perform

inflammatory bowel disease [e.g. colitis or Crohn's disease], or other serious
gastrointestinal chronic conditions associated with diarrhea), systemic lupus
erythematosus, or Wegener syndrome (granulomatosis with polyangiitis), rheumatoid
arthritis, uveitis, etc., within the past 2 years prior to the start of treatment. The
following are exceptions to this criterion:
1. Patients with Graves' disease, vitiligo or psoriasis not requiring systemic
treatment (within the last 2 years).
2. Patients with endocrinopathies (e.g. following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on
hormone replacement or do not require any therapy.
4. History of primary immunodeficiency, history of allogenic organ transplant that
requires therapeutic immunosuppression and the use of immunosuppressive agents within
28 days of enrollment.
NOTE: Intranasal/inhaled corticosteroids or systemic steroids that do not exceed 10
mg/day of prednisone or equivalent dose of an alternative corticosteroid are
permissible
5. Patients who have uncontrolled inter-current illness, including but not limited to,
ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled
hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, active
interstitial lung disease, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with
diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the
ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
6. Recent history of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of
study drug.
NOTE: Patients, once enrolled, should not receive live vaccine whilst receiving study
drug and up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

negative for HCV RNA.
10. Evidence for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies)
11. Underlying medical conditions that, in the Principal Investigator's opinion, will make
the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of toxicity
determination or adverse events
12. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of
reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from
screening to 90 days after the last dose of study treatment (either durvalumab
monotherapy or durvalumab + Nap combination therapy).
* Highly effective methods of contraception are defined as one that results in a low
failure rate (e.g., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. Note
that some contraception methods are not considered highly effective (e.g., male or
female condom with or without spermicide; female cap, diaphragm, or sponge with or
without spermicide; non-copper containing intrauterine device; progestogen-only oral
hormonal contraceptive pills where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of
action [excluding Cerazette/desogestrel which is considered highly effective]; and
triphasic combined oral contraceptive pills).

may be included only after consultation with the Sponsor.
19. Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) =450 ms in
male patients, and =470 ms in female patients. If the first ECG result is normal, no
triplicate test is required. However, any clinically significant abnormalities
detected on the 1st ECG will require triplicate ECG result, calculated from 3 ECGs
(within 15 minutes at 5 minutes apart)
20. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug
excipients

prior immunotherapy.
- All AEs while receiving prior immunotherapy must have completely resolved or
resolved to < Grade 1 prior to screening for this study.
- Must not have experienced a Grade =3 immune-related AE or an immune-related
neurologic or ocular AE of any grade while receiving prior immunotherapy.
Patients with an endocrine AE of Grade =2 are permitted to enroll if they are
