Acute Ischemic Stroke, Acute Large Hemispheric Infarction Stroke, RK-4, Transcranial Bone Marrow Injection
Conditions
Brief summary
An open-label, blinded phase II study investigating the treatment of acute large hemispheric infarction by transcranial bone marrow injection of RK-4 injection For subjects with acute large hemispheric infarction who are contraindicated to vascular recanalization or have poor response to vascular recanalization therapy, the safety, tolerability, and PK characteristics of RK-4 injection injected into the brain cell marrow through the cranial bone marrow will be preliminarily evaluated, and the efficacy will be preliminarily explored. The main questions it aims to answer are: * The efficacy of RK-4 injection injected into the brain cell marrow through the cranial bone marrow. * If drug RK-4 is safe and tolerate in the patients with LHI? Researchers will analyze data from different groups, includes cranial administration group and conventional treatment group , to see efficacy of RK-4 injection injected into the brain cell marrow through the cranial bone marrow and If drug RK-4 is safe and tolerate in the patients with LHI . Participants will: * Take drug RK-4 (2mg/mL, 1mL) by transcranial bone marrow injection once daily for consecutive 3 days or just receive conventional treatments. * Truthfully provide medical history and previous participation in clinical trials and a statement of no history of mental disorders. * Take the drug at the specified time every day according to the dosage prescribed by the doctor * Receive the investigational drug as instructed by the doctor and visiting as required * Tell the investigators about any medications (including chemicals, biological drugs, proprietary Chinese medicines, etc.) and related treatments you take during the study * unpermitted stop the investigational drug yourself at the end of the study or when you decide to withdraw from the study, you need to stop the investigational drug as directed by your doctor to ensure your safety * take reasonable contraception actions * unallowed to use unmarketed drugs or other clinical trial drugs during the study

Inclusion criteria
* 1\. 18≤ age \< 81 years old, gender is not limited; 2. The modified Rankin score (mRS) score ≤ 1 point before the onset of stroke; 3. Administration can be completed within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms and signs of neurological deficit (for subjects with stroke after waking up or stroke without witnesses, the last normal time of symptom onset is the time of symptom onset); 4. Clinical symptoms, signs and imaging diagnosed as cerebral infarction in the middle cerebral artery blood supply area, and the following characteristics are met: 1. 16≤NIHSS score ≤32 points, sum of the fifth upper limb and sixth lower limb scores≥6; 2.

Priority is given to CTP test results. If both CTP and DWI are completed during the screening period and the examination results are inconsistent, the investigator needs to take all information (scanning time, imaging method for optimal response infarct size, etc.) into account and then make a reasonable judgment and record that; ASPECTS scores can be based on CTP or MRI, but CTP is preferred. 5.
