This is not good.

"Changes to the primary end point during or after recruitment were omnipresent in randomized clinical trials with immune checkpoint inhibitors for patients with UC, RCC, and NSCLC. Most common were switching to or adding OS as an outcome measure and subpopulations based on PD-L1 expression. Ultimately, published data often do not allow readers to infer what the results would have been if the primary outcome had not been changed."

Changes to Primary End Points in Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Clinical Trials

This systematic review investigates how often and to what extent primary end points are changed and reported in immune checkpoint inhibitor clinical trials.
