a

Results shown for proportions are based on Clopper–Pearson (exact) methods

b

Post-baseline NIHSS was at day 7 for GAMES-Pilot and MMI-MRI and at day 3 for EPITHET

c

Summary includes the 90 day mRS score for one subject who was deemed lost to follow up but was later determined (external to the study) to have an mRS of 3

d

Based on symptomatic hemorrhage
