Recruiting studies
- NCT06401707RecruitingPhase 2
Seizure prevention after cardiac arrest
This study tests a seizure-prevention medicine called perampanel for people whose hearts stopped beating (cardiac arrest) and are now in the ICU. The goal is to see if it helps prevent seizures that can happen after such an event.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06503016RecruitingPhase 3
Phosphocreatine for medical emergency team patients
This study tests if a medicine called phosphocreatine helps people in the hospital who have a serious heart or lung emergency. It aims to see if the medicine can improve recovery and prevent further complications.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT02708134Recruiting
Study of CPR quality in children and young adults
This trial looks at how well CPR (chest compressions) is done during an emergency resuscitation in children and young adults. The goal is to understand what helps improve care during life-saving resuscitation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT07707037Recruiting
Helping parents cope after a child's cardiac arrest
This study tests if providing clearer information to parents after their child's cardiac arrest can reduce fear and anxiety. It is for parents of children under 17.5 years old who are expected to leave the hospital soon.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–17 years - NCT04330651Recruiting
Extra-support machine for heart patients after surgery
This study looks at using an external life-support machine after heart surgery. It may help patients who need temporary extra support while the heart and body recover.
FlorenceAges 18–80 - NCT05868239Recruiting
Testing an aerosol box during CPR emergencies
This study tests whether using an aerosol “box” during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) during an emergency improves safety and care. It’s mainly aimed at trained healthcare staff who can perform required tasks during CPR.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT06405581Recruiting
Frailty and CPR outcomes in children
This study looks at how being frail (weak or fragile) affects outcomes in children who need emergency CPR. It helps doctors understand risks and improve care for young patients.
Istanbul, UmraniyeAges 18–100 - NCT04462380Recruiting
AI study for patients after cardiac arrest
This trial uses artificial intelligence to analyze computerized reports from patients who have recovered from cardiac arrest. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat different causes of cardiac arrest.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT07096973Recruiting
Heart rehab recovery study in Davos
This study looks at how people recover during heart rehabilitation at a clinic in Davos. By tracking your progress, researchers hope to learn what helps people get better.
Davos, Kanton GraubündenAges 18 years+ - NCT05851391RecruitingPhase 2
Test drug treatment to stop hard-to-control seizures after cardiac arrest
This Phase 2 trial tests a medication strategy to stop “refractory status epilepticus,” a severe seizure condition that can happen after a cardiac arrest. It may help by reducing ongoing seizure activity after return of circulation in the ICU.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06048796Recruiting
Early stopping of sedation after cardiac arrest with normal EEG
This study is testing whether it is safe to stop sedation and temperature management early in cardiac arrest patients who have a normal-looking brain wave test (EEG). If you qualify, you would stop sedation sooner than usual, which may help you wake up faster.
Arnhem, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07434726Recruiting
Balloon in aorta to improve CPR for in-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial tests if placing a balloon in the main artery (aorta) during CPR can improve blood flow to the heart and brain. It is for adults who have a cardiac arrest while already in the hospital and have a pulse-check showing some heart activity.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06856993Recruiting
Study of early risk signs after sudden death
This study looks at tiny particles in the blood (exosomes) to see if they can help predict how patients do after a sudden collapse. The goal is to better understand who might recover and how to improve their care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06530641RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing heart protection solutions during major heart surgery
This trial compares two types of cardioplegia (a solution that stops your heart during surgery) to see which one leads to better outcomes. It is for adults undergoing major heart surgery with a heart-lung machine.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05643235Recruiting
Loop monitor to watch heart rhythms when starting a BTK inhibitor
This study checks how often abnormal heart rhythms happen when you start a BTK inhibitor (used for certain blood cancers). It uses a small implanted heart monitor to record your rhythm continuously before and after starting the medication, so doctors can detect and manage problems early.
New Hyde Park, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06780722Recruiting
Study of heart and blood circulation issues during a specific organ donation process
This trial is studying heart and blood circulation problems that may happen during a certain type of organ donation (called Maastricht 3). It is for people who donate organs and those who receive them. The goal is to see how the level of oxygen in the blood affects these problems.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04840797Recruiting
Registry for HeartStart HS1 use during suspected cardiac arrest
This study collects real-world information about people who had a suspected cardiac arrest and where the HeartStart HS1 defibrillator was used with specific Philips pad types. It may help improve how emergency teams respond in the future.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04250857Recruiting
HeartStart AED event registry for suspected sudden cardiac arrest
This study records information about people who were suspected of having a sudden heart stoppage. It may help improve how emergency responders use this specific AED (automated defibrillator).
Monroeville, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04976712Recruiting
Check body temperature in adults after out-of-hospital arrest
This trial measures core body temperature in adults who were taken to the hospital after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It aims to understand temperature patterns during care, which may help guide how patients are treated after the event.
BruneckAges 18 years+ - NCT07754656Recruiting
Adapted CPR study for cardiac arrest
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07358793Recruiting
Simulation training for emergency teams
This study compares two ways of training emergency teams to handle adult medical emergencies (not from injury). It looks at how well teams work together using a standard approach called A-C-L-S.
Douliu, YunlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06165081Recruiting
Emergency care after cardiac arrest and short-term outcomes
This study looks at how care in the emergency room after a cardiac arrest affects short-term recovery. It may help doctors find better ways to treat patients whose hearts have stopped outside the hospital.
Hsinchu, Hsinchu CityAges 20 years+ - NCT07490171Recruiting
Study of traumatic cardiac arrest
This study looks at how to best treat adults who go into cardiac arrest because of a serious injury, like from a car crash or fall. The goal is to find ways to improve survival and recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03793257Recruiting
ECMO patient registry for adults in Australia and New Zealand
This is a research registry for adults who need a breathing and/or heart support machine called ECMO while in the hospital. It collects information to better understand who receives ECMO and how patients do over time.

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.
