Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. frequency of dose limiting adverse events [ Time Frame: 7 days ]
  2. Stroke recovery based on global test analysis including modified Rankin Scale (mRS), NIHSS, and Barthel Index (BI) [ Time Frame: 90 days ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. proportion of subjects with a mRS score of less than or equal to 2 [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  2. change in functional outcome throughout range of mRS scores [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
  3. changes in outcome measures (mRS, NIHSS, BI) over time [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
  4. 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

  5. frequency of adverse events [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
  6. change in vital signs [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
  7. change in safety labs [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
  8. frequency of secondary infections [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
