This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of durvalumab in combination with lenvatinib in participants with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplant and metastatic unresectable HCC.The primary hypothesis of this study are that patients with locally advanced HCC could benefit from durvalumab plus lenvatinib before liver transplant; patients with metastatic unresectable HCC could also benefit from durvalumab plus lenvatinib with respect to: 1)Progression Free Survival (PFS) ; or recurrence-free survival (RFS) if patients with locally advanced HCC underwent liver transplant; 2) Objective Response Rate (ORR); and 3) Overall survival (OS). The investigators design a clinical study to explore whether the combination above as a treatment in patients with advanced and recurrent endometrial carcinoma could prolong PFS and to analyze potential immune biomarker of therapeutic response.

The combination of Lenvatinib and Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blocking has great potential in the treatment of locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplant and metastatic unresectable HCC. This trial is designed as a prospective, open label study for 20 patients with locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplant and metastatic unresectable HCC. The aim is to investigate the efficacy of the combination therapy of Lenvatinib 80-120mg daily orally and durvalumab 1500mg by IV infusion every 4 weeks in terms of progression free survival.

• Has adequate organ function.
• Granulocytes >= 1,500/uL

• Prothrombin time (PT)-international normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.7 (not required for patients on anticoagulation agents; patients who are being therapeutically anticoagulated with an agent such as Coumadin or heparin will be allowed to participate provided that no prior evidence of underlying abnormality in these parameters exists)
• Patients with a history of hypertension should be well controlled (< 140/90 mmHg) on a regimen of anti-hypertensive therapy
• Significant history of cardiac disease is not allowed:
• Congestive heart failure > class II New York Heart Association (NYHA) Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to registration Serious myocardial dysfunction, defined as scintigraphically (multigated acquisition scan [MUGA], myocardial scintigram) determined absolute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 45% or an LVEF on echocardiogram(ECHO) below the normal limit at the individual institution

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has had esophageal or gastric variceal bleeding within the last 6 months.
• Has clinically apparent ascites on physical examination.
• Has had clinically diagnosed hepatic encephalopathy in the last 6 months.
• Has received local therapy to liver ablation other than with radiofrequency or microwave ablation.
• Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis
• Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
• Has dual active Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection at study entry.
• Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
• Has known active tuberculosis (TB; Bacillus tuberculosis).
• Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137).
• Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy for HCC including investigational agents.
• Is receiving any of the following prohibited concomitant therapies:1) Antineoplastic systemic chemotherapy or biological therapy; 2) Immunotherapy not specified in this protocol; 3) Investigational agents other than pembrolizumab; 4) Radiation therapy; 5) Oncological surgical therapy; or systemic glucocorticoids for any purpose other than to modulate symptoms from an AE that is suspected to have an immunologic etiology.
• Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
• Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1.
• Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1.
• Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to Durvalumab and/or any of its excipients.
• Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years.
• Has a known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with the participant's ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study.
