Multiple endpoints and historical data borrowing may be simultaneously incorporated for enhancing efficiency and speeding up the new drug development process in the pharmaceutical industry. O'Brien's test is a widely used weighted combination test for multiplicity adjustment on multiple endpoints to control the overall type error rate in a weak sense. In this research, a modification on the O'Brien's test more specifically on the weights is considered for a trial with two primary endpoints to potentially increase power. The method can handle missing data in the current study and in the prior derivation for dynamic historical data borrowing. Simulations are conducted to compare the performances of different methods. A data example is used to illustrate the applications of the methods.
