At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and which is suitable for accurate repeated assessment as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST criteria v1.1)

Female patients and males with partners of childbearing potential should be using highly effective contraceptive measures. Females should not be breastfeeding and must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of dosing if of childbearing potential or must have evidence of non-childbearing potential by fulfilling 1 of the criteria below at screening.

Postmenopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
Women <50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrheic for the past 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments. The levels of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) must also be in the postmenopausal range (as per the institution)

Patients must have mCRC and, if MSI status is known, non-high MSI status. MSI status will be evaluated based on previous results of local MSI testing, if available. Patients with known MSI-high status will be excluded; patients with MSS, MSI-low, or unknown MSI status may be enrolled

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients must not enter the study if any of the following exclusion criteria are fulfilled

MEDI4736 or selumetinib in the present study (ie, dosing with MEDI4736 or selumetinib previously initiated in this study)
Major surgical procedure, (excluding placement of vascular access) or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of the 1st dose of study treatment, or have an anticipated need for major surgery during the study
Palliative radiotherapy with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks or radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 2 weeks of the 1st dose of study treatment
Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy, including, but not limited to, other anti-CTLA- 4 (Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4), anti-PD-1 (Programmed cell death 1), anti-PD-L1 (Programmed cell death ligand 1), or anti-PD-L2 (Programmed cell death ligand 2) antibodies, including therapeutic anticancer vaccines
Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP
Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an interventional study

Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria

Patients with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be included after consultation with the medical monitor
Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with selumetinib, MEDI4736 or tremelimumab may be included after consultation with the medical monitor
History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Patients with suspected brain metastases at screening should have a CT / MRI of the brain prior to study entry

Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [eg, colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], celiac disease, irritable bowel disease, or other serious GI (Gastrointestinal) chronic conditions associated with diarrhoea, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [eg, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease; rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis]) within the past 3 years prior to the start of treatment. The following are exceptions to this criterion:

Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
Patients with hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment
History of active primary immunodeficiency
