- frequency of dose limiting adverse events [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
- Stroke recovery based on global test analysis including modified Rankin Scale (mRS), NIHSS, and Barthel Index (BI) [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- proportion of subjects with a mRS score of less than or equal to 2 [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- change in functional outcome throughout range of mRS scores [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- changes in outcome measures (mRS, NIHSS, BI) over time [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
- proportion of subjects with an excellent functional outcome [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- mRS score = 0 to 1; and
- NIHSS score = 0 to 1; and
- Barthel Index score = greater than or equal to 95
- frequency of adverse events [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
- change in vital signs [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
