Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Any Abnormal Laboratory Test Results (Part 1* and 2)Day 1 (Baseline) up to Day 90

The total number of participants with laboratory test abnormalities (without regard to baseline abnormality) was assessed. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

Number of Participants With Significant Change in Neurological Examination Findings (Part 1* and 2)Day 1 (Baseline) up to Day 90

The complete neurological examination included an assessment of the motor, sensory, cranial nerves, reflexes, mental status and associated motor functions. The limited neurological exam could examine the same categories of neurologic assessments as the full examination, but would differ by the depth in the examination. The examination was required to be done to the extent needed to assess the participant for any potential changes in neurological status, as determined by the Investigator, but had to always include an assessment of motor, vision and hearing. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

Data were mapped to Columbia-Classification Algorithm of Suicide Assessment (C-CASA) event codes. C-SSRS assessed if participant experienced: completed suicide (Code 1), suicide attempt (Code 2) (Response of "Yes" on "actual attempt"), preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behavior (Code 3) ("Yes" on "aborted attempt", "interrupted attempt", "preparatory acts or behavior"), suicidal ideation (Code 4) ("Yes" on "wish to be dead", "non-specific active suicidal thoughts", "active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act/some intent to act without specific plan or with specific plan and intent), self-injurious behavior, no suicidal intent (Code 7) ("Yes" on "Has participant engaged in non-suicidal self-injurious behavior"). Number of participants with "Yes" response for any of above mentioned categories was assessed. \*This was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for it were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

Percentage of Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Less Than or Equal to (<=2) at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 90

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Box and Blocks (B&B) Test at Day 90 for Paretic to Non-paretic Hand Ratio (Part 2)Day 1 (Baseline), Day 90

The B\&B test is a measure of manual dexterity. The B\&B apparatus consists of a box divided into 2 sections and 1-inch hardwood blocks. The blocks began in the compartment of the test box to the dominant side of the participant. The participant was required to transfer the blocks one at a time to the other side of the box as quickly as possible in 1 minute using the non-paretic hand. The box was then turned so all the blocks were in the same side as the paretic hand. The participant was then required to do the test with his/her paretic hand. The participant was told that if more than 1 block was picked up at a time it was to only count as 1 block. The participant was also told that their fingertips needed to cross the partition for the block to be counted. The performance measure for this task was the number of blocks moved within 1 minute.

BI at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 90

The BI is an index of independence to score the ability of a participant with a neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorder to care for him or herself. The index rates a participant's ability on the following 10 activities: feeding, moving from wheelchair to bed, personal toilet, getting on and off toilet, bathing self, walking on level surface, ascending and descending stairs, dressing, controlling bowels and controlling bladder. The maximum total score is 100 in a participant without functional impairment; the minimum score is 0 in a participant with major functional impairment.

Change From Baseline in NIHSS at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 1 (Baseline), Day 90

The NIHSS is a graded 11-item neurological examination rating speech and language, cognition, visual field deficits, motor and sensory impairments and ataxia used for the clinical assessment of acute stroke therapy. The maximum total score is 42 in a participant with a severe neurological deficit; the minimum score is 0 in a participant without gross neurological deficits.

Domains of Interest: Change From Baseline in Line Cancellation Test [(L+R)/28 × 100%, (L/14) × 100%, (R/14) × 100%)] at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 1 (Baseline), Day 90

The participant was presented with a page that had lines placed across the page. The participant was required to cross out all the lines on the page using their non-paretic hand after the tester had demonstrated what was required by crossing out the center line. The performance measure for this task was the total number of omissions made expressed as a percentage of the total number of items in the test. The test contains 4 variables: (L+R)/28 × 100%, (L/14) × 100%, (R/14) × 100%, and (L-R)/(L+R), where L = number of lines crossed on the left side of the paper; R = number of lines crossed on the right side of the paper.

Gait Velocity Test at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 90

The 10-meter walk test requires a 20 meter straight path, with 5 meters for acceleration, 10 meters for steady state walking, and 5 meters for deceleration. Markers were placed at the 5 and 15 meter positions along the path. The participant began to walk "at a comfortable pace" at 1 end of the path, and continued walking until he/she reached the other end. The rater used a stopwatch to determine how much time it took for the participant to traverse the 10 meter center of the path, starting the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the first marker and stopping the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the second marker.

Percentage of Participants With Barthel Index (BI) >= 95 and BI =100 at Day 90 (Part 2)Day 90

The BI is an index of independence to score the ability of a participant with a neuromuscular or musculoskeletal disorder to care for him or herself. The index rates a participant's ability on the following 10 activities: feeding, moving from wheelchair to bed, personal toilet, getting on and off toilet, bathing self, walking on level surface, ascending and descending stairs, dressing, controlling bowels and controlling bladder. The maximum total score is 100 in a participant without functional impairment; the minimum score is 0 in a participant with major functional impairment.
