Table e-1. Imbalances in baseline factors in several randomized controlled stroke trials. These imbalances may contribute to outcomes even if individually not statistically significant.

Supplement Methods (for Table e-2 and Figure 2)

Pubmed was searched for the terms ‘Acute Ischemic Stroke’. Additional filters were applied to limit the search to completed Phase III clinical trials that took place in the prior 20 years (1994-2014) and to those that did not use endovascular treatment. The same keywords and filters were applied to the search engine provided at This was further augmented by repeating the same search in the clinical trial registry database that is maintained at with the same filters. The resultant search results were read and those with preceding early phase trials that provided data on doses used, stroke severity at baseline, baseline demographics and clinical outcomes were selected for analysis. Baseline demographics, stroke severity in terms of NIH stroke scale (NIHSS), and interpretation of outcomes by the authors were tabulated (Tablee-2). Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) and European Stroke Scale (ESS) were accepted as alternate measures of stroke severity if another trial with the same compound presented NIHSS.

When the baseline NIHSS, age and 90 day outcomes in terms of modified Rankin Scale were available the outcomes were plotted onto the pPREDICTS mRS model26. The phase III trials and the preceding early phase trials were classified into categories based on reasons that may have led to failed phase III: 1. Imbalances favoring the treatment arm 2. Subgroup found to be positive without providing baseline information 3.Imbalances corrected with adjustment 4. Futile early phase trials by pooled analysis 5. Noisy endpoint such as ordinal or ‘shift’ analysis and 6. Unrepresentative control arm by pooled analysis. Unrepresentative control arm and futile early phase trial was determined based on comparison with the pPREDICTS model. A control arm was deemed unrepresentative if the functional outcomes (mRS 0-1 or mRS 0-2) for control arm were worse than the -95% prediction interval surface or the mortality was greater than +95% prediction interval surface. Summary table of these findings is provided in Table 2.

Bivariate frequency distributions were calculated for rt-PA and placebo treated subjects from the NINDS trial. The frequency distributions were calculated using an algorithm proposed by Martinez and Martineze55 and shown in Figure 2.
