Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:

* Acute ischemic stroke, any territory, with an appropriate neuroradiologic study (head CT scan or brain MRI scan) providing results consistent with non hemorrhagic stroke
* Onset of symptoms of qualifying stroke within 48 hours prior to randomization. In patients receiving thrombolytic therapy for the acute stroke, such as tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), administration of study drug may not start until at least 24 hours after completion of thrombolytic therapy
* Significant motor impairment of the leg, as indicated by a NIHSS score =2 on item 6
* Inability to walk without assistance
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria:

* Females who are pregnant, breast-feeding, or of childbearing potential and not using medically acceptable and effective contraception
* Clinical evidence of VTE at screening
* Any evidence of active bleeding on the basis of clinical judgment
* Prior history of intracranial hemorrhage (including that at screening)
* Spinal or epidural analgesia or lumbar puncture within the preceding 24 hours
* Thrombolytic therapy (e.g., tPA) or intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy within the preceding 24 hours.Thrombolytic therapy is permitted for treatment of the acute stroke but must have been completed 24 hours prior to randomization.
* Comatose at screening (NIHSS score =2 on item 1a)
* Known or suspected cerebral aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation
* Confirmed malignancy that may pose an increased risk for bleeding or otherwise compromise follow-up or outcome assessment (e.g., lung cancer)
* Impaired hemostasis, i.e., known or suspected coagulopathy (acquired or inherited); baseline platelet count <100,000/mm3; aPTT 1.5 X the laboratory upper limit of normal; or international normalized ratio(INR) >1.5
* Major surgery or recent major trauma within the previous 3 months
* Anticipated need for full-dose treatment with therapeutic levels of an anticoagulant (LMWH, UFH, oral anticoagulant), e.g., for cardiogenic source of embolism or dissection
* Treatment with a LMWH or UFH at prophylactic dose for more than 48 hours prior to randomization(patients receiving LMWH or UFH less than 48 hours prior to randomization may be randomized)
* Allergy to heparin or enoxaparin sodium, or known hypersensitivity to heparin, enoxaparin, or pork products
* History of heparin or enoxaparin induced thrombocytopenia and/or thrombosis (heparin-induced thrombocytopenia [HIT], heparin-associated thrombocytopenia [HAT], or heparin-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia syndrome [HITTS])
* History of hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast media and/or iodine
* Bacterial endocarditis
* Prosthetic heart valve
* Known or suspected severe anemia (Hg <10.0 g/dL)
* Uncontrolled arterial hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] >180 mmHg or diastolic BP >100 mmHg) at the time of randomization or clinical hypertensive urgency
* Any other clinically relevant serious diseases, including severe liver disease or renal failure [creatinine clearance <30 mL/min on at least two occasions].
* Treatment with other investigational agents or devices within the previous 30 days, planned use of other investigational drugs or devices, or previous enrollment in this study.
