This is not p-hacking. p-hacking is when you don't pre-register your hypothesis and you hunt for ones which hit .05 after the fact.

There was a single hypothesis being tested here.

It was an adaptive clinical trial with multiple arms, so it wasn't a single hypothesis. Apparently this is considered legitimate in medical trials, but I have some reservations about the concept.

Also this was >0.60 not around 0.05 If I read correctly.
