Given the small number of participants due to early study closure, only the number of patients last reported to be alive without failure at time of study termination is reported, and no statistical testing was done.","groups":[{"description":"\\[Intent-to-treat\\]\n\nSTEP 1 (all patients): Patients who received allowed neoadjuvant systemic therapy before study entry undergo pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) within 4 to 8 weeks of systemic therapy.
