Trial simulation to estimate probability of early stopping
(A) Early stopping estimate at the first interim analysis (overall sample size=70). (B) Early stopping estimate at the second interim analysis (overall sample size=140). *Punctual estimate for early stopping if reported mortality in control group is equal to 10% (ie, extraordinary unexpected efficacy). †Punctual estimate for early stopping if reported mortality is equal to the a priori assumptions.
