"9. Conclusion
This dendritic vaccine trial has several limitations. These limitations include changing the primary endpoint (OS instead of PFS), creating a new study population (recurrent glioblastoma), conducting unplanned analyses, using external controls in a design originally intended to be randomized, all changes occurring years after the trial finished enrollment. The selected external controls likely included patients with less favorable outcomes, which opposes the “fit-for-purpose” criteria usually applied in selecting external controls. Therefore, the purported survival benefit from the vaccine is unreliable."
