Outcome Measures

Show All Outcome Measures

1. Primary:

Pathological Complete Response [ Surgery (at least 3 weeks post last dose of chemotherapy, up to a maximum interval of 8 weeks) ]

Hide Outcome Measure 1

Measure Type	Primary
Measure Title	Pathological Complete Response
Measure Description	Number of participants with results of pathological review that indicated a complete response. Pathological complete response should be evaluated at the time of surgery (Extrapleural Pneumonectomy [EPP]). Resected tissue or pleural fluid should be sent for pathological and histological evaluation.
Time Frame	Surgery (at least 3 weeks post last dose of chemotherapy, up to a maximum interval of 8 weeks)
Safety Issue	No

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
All participants who had undergone surgery.
