Exactly. The change was approved by the regulatory authorities. If these people cant comprehend this then it is their problem.

The blinded change of the primary end point to Overall Survival (the gold standard) is not an issue.


They were blinded to patient data but not to the results on any efficacy IAs that were performed. And we know at least one was. And very likely more.

The assertions here that being blinding implies the change is fine shows a basic lack of understanding. What is key is that they change cannot be made based on influence from data within the trial. Changing the endpoint after knowing the original endpoint failed is more than a bit questionable.

The regulating authorities agreed to the change in the SAP.


The RAs agreed the trial changes were safe and ethical for the patents. Many trials are intentionally not designed to establish proof worthy of approval, so it is not the RAs job to stop trials for that reason.

Overall Survival (the gold standard)


OS in a randomized controlled study is the gold standard. The FDA has many guidance notes where they note that OS vs non randomized controls has issues.

Is that why the FDA halted the trial?
