In this phase three national, multicenter, UK randomized controlled trial, the authors seek to compare outcomes after extended pleurectomy decortication plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone. The trial recruited patients between 2015 and 2021 from 26 UK hospitals, recruiting and randomly assigning patients with a 1:1 allocation ratio.
