Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort II (SBRT, durvalumab,tremelimumab,TORS,neck dissection)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Beginning day 0 of course 1, participants undergo stereotactic body radiation therapy 5 days a week for 1 week and receive tremelimumab IV and durvalumab IV over 1 hour on days 0 and 27 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants then undergo transoral robotic surgery and modified radical neck dissection between weeks 6-8. Beginning week 12, participants then receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour every 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
