Recruiting studies
- NCT06672159Recruiting
Double shock for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests a new way of giving two quick shocks to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you had a shockable heart rhythm, this approach might help improve your chances of survival.
TrondheimAges 18 years+ - NCT06680869RecruitingPhase 3
Early amiodarone for shockable cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether giving the heart rhythm medicine amiodarone early after a shockable cardiac arrest improves survival. If you had a cardiac arrest due to a heart rhythm problem that didn't stop after the first shock, this study may be for you.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT06781892Recruiting
Defibrillation strategies for cardiac arrest outside the hospital
This trial tests different ways of using defibrillators to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It compares two defibrillator machines used together to see if one approach works better for shockable heart rhythms.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06793033Recruiting
A study of the Neurescue device for cardiac arrest
This trial tests an investigational device called Neurescue, used alongside standard CPR and life support to treat adults who have had a witnessed cardiac arrest. It is designed for people whose heart cannot be restarted by a shock and who receive CPR very soon after collapse.
BerlinAges 18–80 - NCT06804499Recruiting
Coronary artery disease and sudden cardiac arrest study
This study is for people with coronary artery disease (blocked arteries in the heart) who live in the Pirkanmaa area of Finland. It will collect information and blood samples to better understand heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 18 years+ - NCT06809309Recruiting
Ventilation during in-hospital cardiac arrest study
This trial tests different methods of giving breaths (ventilation) to adults who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital. It aims to find which approach works best to improve survival.
AabenraaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938009Recruiting
Dutch registry of child cardiac arrest
This trial is a registry study that records information about children under 18 who have had a cardiac arrest in the Netherlands. It aims to collect data to better understand and improve care for children in this situation.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 1 day–18 years - NCT06939335RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a breathing method during CPR after cardiac arrest
This trial tests whether a specific breathing technique (PEEP) during CPR helps improve outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated by emergency medical teams.
Ostend, West-FlandresAges 18 years+ - NCT06979700Recruiting
Early wake-up predictors after cardiac arrest
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06992843Recruiting
Protecting the brain after cardiac arrest coma
This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–80 - NCT07009652Recruiting
Optimizing mobile ECMO for sudden cardiac arrest patients
This trial tests a better way to get a mobile team that can start ECMO (a heart-lung machine) to people who have a sudden cardiac arrest outside the hospital. The goal is to see if this approach can help save more lives in certain regions.
Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian RegionAges 3–60 - NCT07028372Recruiting
Long-term follow-up of cardiac arrest survivors who had ultra-rapid cooling
This trial checks on the long-term health of people who survived a cardiac arrest and received ultra-rapid cooling as part of an earlier study (OverCool). The goal is to see how they are doing over time.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07114510Recruiting
Best breathing methods during cardiac arrest
This trial compares different ways to give breaths using a breathing tube during CPR to find the best approach for people having a cardiac arrest in the hospital.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 9 months–18 years - NCT07143357Recruiting
Mind-body recovery program for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers
This trial tests a mind-body program to help cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers recover together after a cardiac arrest. It combines in-person and video sessions to reduce emotional distress and improve wellbeing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07438938Recruiting
Lazarus airway opening index trial for cardiac arrest
This study looks at a new measure called the Airway Opening Index (AOI) to see if it can help doctors predict when a person's airway opens during CPR after a heart attack outside the hospital. If you've had a cardiac arrest and needed a breathing tube, this research might help improve how care is given.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT07464938Recruiting
Predicting brain recovery after cardiac arrest
This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07323667Enrolling by invitation
Study of a first responder system for cardiac arrest in Zug
This trial is studying a new system where trained volunteers respond quickly to help people whose heart stops outside of a hospital in Zug, Switzerland. The goal is to see if this system improves survival and recovery.
Zug, Canton of ZugAges 18 years+ - NCT03594318Recruiting
Registry for adults treated in ICU after cardiac arrest
This trial is a registry, which means the researchers collect information about people who were treated in an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest. It may help improve understanding of outcomes and care, which can guide future treatment.
Le ChesnayAges 18 years+ - NCT05817851RecruitingPhase 2
Vitamin C by vein after cardiac arrest shock
This Phase 2 study tests whether early high-dose vitamin C given through a vein can improve outcomes for people who remain unconscious after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with shock. It may help by supporting recovery during the time when the body is under severe stress.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06387225Recruiting
Study on brain recovery after cardiac arrest
This study is trying to find better ways to predict recovery in people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious in the intensive care unit. It may help doctors give more accurate information to families.
La Roche-sur-YonAges 18 years+ - NCT06617377Recruiting
Can MRI predict brain recovery after cardiac arrest?
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to try to predict whether people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest will recover. It is looking for adults who are in a coma and have not woken up after being taken off sedation medicines for at least three days.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07240714Enrolling by invitation
Web-based support for cardiac arrest survivors
This study tests a web-based support program for people who have survived a cardiac arrest. It aims to help you with recovery by providing online tools and information.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT07034170Enrolling by invitation
Muscle mass and recovery after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how muscle mass affects recovery after a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops). It is for people who stay on a breathing machine in the ICU for more than three days. Researchers will measure muscle to see if it helps predict recovery.

Butylphthalide for brain protection after cardiac arrest
This trial tests a medicine called butylphthalide (NBP) to see if it helps protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for adults who remained unconscious after their heart was restarted.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac arrest?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 172 recruiting cardiac arrest studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cardiac arrest trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cardiac arrest trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
