Inclusion Criteria:

- scoring 4 to 20 on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

- showing a perfusion-diffusion mismatch on MRI of 20 %

- enrolment within a 3 h to 9 h time window after symptom onset.

- 18-85 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participation in any interventional trial in the previous 30 days.

- Women in the childbearing age.

additional risk to any individual stroke patient when receiving study medication
