To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better.
- The effects of TRC102 on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because biochemical inhibitors of the BER pathway agents as well as other therapeutic agents used in this trial are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after completion of durvalumab monotherapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 6 months after completion of durvalumab administration, if having sex with women of childbearing potential.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible.

Patients with prior stage I NSCLC treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) without overlapping radiation fields would also be eligible. Patients with prior chemotherapy are eligible, at physician's discretion.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia.
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents.
- Patients with treated brain metastases are not eligible as the study is for stage III disease only.
- Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are not eligible as the study includes only stage III disease.
- Patients with EGFR or ALK mutations are ineligible.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to TRC102 or other agents used in study.
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, 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 adverse events (AEs) or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
- Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because TRC102 is a biochemical inhibitor of the BER pathway and durvalumab is an anti-PDL1 antibody, agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with TRC102 or durvalumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with TRC102 or durvalumab. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.
- Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 6 months after durvalumab monotherapy. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.

- Tumor expression of p16 by immunohistochemistry is highly desirable for patients with Oropharyngeal primaries. Positive p16 expression is defined as strong and diffuse nuclear and cytoplasmic staining in 70% or more of the tumor cells. If HPV status was previously tested using this method, no additional testing is required. If results are not available or are not possible patient will still be considered eligible.Note: Oral cavity, hypopharynx, and larynx cancer are not required to undergo HPV testingby p16 IHC as by convention these tumor locations are assumed to be HPV negative.
- Patients must have measurable or non-measureable disease. The presence of malignant pleural fluid or bone disease alone is sufficient to satisfy this eligibility criterion.

- Patients with separate tumor nodules in the same lobe of the primary tumor are eligible
- The patient must be deemed clinically appropriate for curative intent definitive combined modality therapy, based on the following staging assessments:
- History/physical examination prior to registration;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain (preferred) or CT scan of the brain (if available, contrast is preferred for all neuroimaging) prior to registration;
- CT chest with IV contrast (if contrast is available and unless contraindicated, such as for abnormal kidney function) prior to registration. PET/CT may be used if the CT portion is of identical diagnostic quality as achieved in a stand-alone CT

- Creatinine clearance >= 25 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault (C-G) equation
- Subjects with non-malignant pleural effusion are eligible provided the effusion is not known or demonstrated to be an exudative effusion
- If a pleural effusion is present, the following criteria must be met to exclude malignant involvement:
- When pleural fluid is visible on both the CT scan and on a chest x-ray, a pleuracentesis is required to confirm that the pleural fluid is cytologically negative;
- Effusions that are minimal (i.e., not visible on chest x-ray) that are too small to safely tap are eligible
- Medical history consistent with the patient being amenable, at the discretion of the treating physician, to allow for treating with consolidation immunotherapy. Patients with known EGFR/ALK/other driver mutation at the time of registration are eligible, and these patients can be treated with consolidation systemic therapy at the discretion of the treating physician

- Negative pregnancy test =< 14 days prior to registration for participants of childbearing potential
- The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry and, for patients treated in the United States (U.S.), authorization permitting release of personal health information
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior radiotherapy to the study cancer (local recurrence). Prior radiotherapy for a different cancer/condition to the region of the study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields that is determined by the treating physician to impede the treatment of the study malignancy
- Patients without identifiable primary tumor and at least 1 pathologically enlarged lymph node are not eligible (T3-4N0 or T0N1-3 patients are not eligible). At least 1 radiographically-involved lymph node is required, but pathologic confirmation of involvement is not mandated
