This trial will look at how the study drug will work in combination with traditional chemotherapy at treating extensive-stage small cell lung cancer in the first-line setting. The study will also determine if these drugs cause any side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy alone. The study drug is Durvalumab by itself or with Tremelimumab. Both Tremelimumab and Durvalumab are antibodies (proteins produced by the body's defense system). These drugs may boost the ability of your immune system to detect and fight cancer. They do this by targeting signals that would stop the body's immune system from killing the cancer. Each drug blocks a different signal and by blocking these signals, the immune cells will once again be able to eliminate or slow down cancer growth.
