Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the functional recovery based on Barthel index (BI) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) while the secondary objectives are to assess the survival and re-admission rate as well as to investigate the inflammatory response in a subclinical study within 1 year of Neuroncell-EX infusion in participants with acute ischemic stroke.
