Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age18\~85 (including 18 and 85 years)，no gender limitation; 2. Subjects diagnosed with acute ischaemic stroke according to the Chinese Guidelines for Clinical Management of Cerebrovascular Disease (2nd edition); 3. 8 ≤ NIHSS score ≤ 25 before randomisation，and the sum of the score of the 5th upper limb and the 6th lower limb was ≥ 2 ; 4. Within 3h of stroke onset and expected to be able to start receiving the investigational product within 3 h of stroke onset (note: stroke onset time was calculated from the onset time of stroke symptoms; if stroke onset occurs during sleep, the stroke onset time should be taken as the latest normal appearance time); 5. First stroke onset, or have a history of stroke but good prognosis (mRS score ≤1); 6. Subjects who are able to understand and comply with the study procedures, and who agree to sign the study informed consent form in writing to indicate that they are willing to participate in the trial (the informed consent form can be signed by subjects or their legal representatives). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Imaging confirmed intracranial hemorrhagic disease (hemorrhagic stroke, epidural hematoma, intracranial hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, ventricular hemorrhage, traumatic cerebral hemorrhage, etc.); 2. Severe disturbance of consciousness: NIHSS 1a score ≥2 points; 3. After aggressive antihypertensive therapy, hypertension still not under control: systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥110 mmHg; 4. Severe hyperglycemia/hypoglycemia: blood glucose≥400 mg/dL (22.2 mmol/L), or ≤50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L); 5. Heart rate \< 50 beats /min or heart rate \> 120 beats /min; Heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, and severe arrhythmias within the previous 6 months; 6. Previously diagnosed severe hepatic and renal dysfunction and determined by the investigators as affect the subjects; 7. Patients who have suffered from malignant tumors or are undergoing anti-tumor treatment within the past 5 years; 8. Patients who have been treated with neuroprotective agents after current stoke onset; 9. Have a epilepsy history or have epilepsy symptoms after current stoke onset; 10. Combined with other mental illnesses, resulting in inability or unwillingness to cooperate; 11. Combined with claudication, osteoarthropathy, etc., resulting in limb movement dysfunction, which is determined by investigators to affect neurological function test; 12. History of severe head trauma or stroke within 3 months before screening; 13. History of severe food or drug allergy, or known allergy to the investigational drug and its excipients; 14. Expected survival period is less than 3 months; 15. Pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding patients; 16. Suspected or confirmed history of alcohol or drug abuse; 17. Participated in other drug or device clinical trial within the 1 months prior to screening or are participating in a other clinical trial; 18. Other conditions, and the investigator assessed that participation in the study might increase the patient's risk or that participation in the study was deemed inappropriate by the investigator.
