Reproducible and generalizable assessment of treatment decisions requires principled handling of subsequent treatment switching that may inform expected outcomes and shift across cohorts and over time. To effectively account for informative treatment switching, we propose an instrumental variable approach that characterizes the poorly documented expected outcomes at switching as unmeasured confounding. After establishing the baseline treatment as a viable instrumental variable, we constructed an estimating equation based on the association between the centered instrumental variable and a martingale style residual process that identifies the treatment effect under structural cumulative survival model. Our proposed method is doubly robust, i.e., valid whenever either of baseline propensity model or no-switching outcome model is consistently estimated. A co-training of treatment effect parameter and survival outcome regression model eliminated the requirement of observing a no-switching subset under semi-parametric additive hazards models. We further developed an baseline-survival-corrected cross-fitting approach to incorporate general machine learning models for estimating nuisance models. Numerical results demonstrated the validity of our method in various settings when a basket of benchmark solutions produced biased or contradictory results. We applied our method to comparison of high-efficacy vs standard efficacy disease modifying treatments as the second line therapy of multiple sclerosis.
