Competing Interests
AS, RL, GV are employees of SYGNIS Bioscience GmbH. WK is employee of HAPAACS. This was an investigator-initiated trial, and SYGNIS Bioscience provided study material, but was not involved in trial design, study protocol generation, study conduct, or regulatory issues. AS, RL, GV and WK were involved in generating the statistical analysis plan, and conducted statistical analysis of trial outcome. AS, WRS are inventors on a number of patent applications claiming the use of G-CSF for neurological diseases including stroke. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLoS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
