Brief Summary  
The purpose of this study is to measure the overall survival benefit of BMS 986489 with 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by BMS 986489 maintenance compared with atezolizumab with 4 cycles of chemotherapy followed by atezolizumab maintenance as first line therapy in participants with ES-SCLC Study details include the following
1 Study Duration Up to 5 years from randomization of the last participant or until the final date on which the data for primary endpoint OS are collected whichever occurs later
2 Study Intervention Duration Participants will be treated until investigator assessed radiographic disease progression by RECIST v1.1 unacceptable toxicity death or withdrawal of consent whichever comes first
3 Study Visit Frequency Every 3 weeks for 4 cycles during induction followed by every 4weeks during maintenance
