简要总结

The proposed study is a phase IIb, multi-center, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study. It is being conducted at multiple sites in Canada, USA and India. In India, the study is proposed to be conducted at ten (10) investigative sites to recruit approximately 60 patients. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the NTx- 265 (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and Epoetin alfa) therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients over placebo.
