Recruiting studies
- NCT07649616Enrolling by invitation
Training Law Enforcement to Use Heart-Restart Devices
This study helps police officers learn to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs)—machines that can restart a stopped heart during cardiac emergencies. The goal is to increase how often these devices are used and improve survival rates when officers respond to cardiac arrest calls.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07002294Recruiting
Specialist care after cardiac arrest recovery trial
This trial tests whether care from a specialist team helps people recover better after a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. If you were revived and brought to the emergency department with a pulse, you might be eligible.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05142124Recruiting
Registry of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases
This study collects information about people who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital, where it is thought to be from a heart or blood-vessel cause. It helps researchers understand what happens and may improve future care, even though it is mainly about collecting data.
Berlin, State of BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT05173740RecruitingPhase 4
Rehab program for people after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial studies a rehabilitation program for adults who survived a first out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery after leaving the hospital by using guided follow-up and surveys to see how people are doing over time.
CopenhagenAges 18–65 - NCT06744361RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine after cardiac arrest to protect the brain
This trial tests whether the sedative drug ketamine, given after a cardiac arrest, can help protect the brain. It's for people whose heart stopped outside the hospital due to a shockable rhythm and who needed a breathing tube placed by emergency responders.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07596446Recruiting
Emergency treatment study for cardiac arrest patients
This study tests emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
PragueAges 18–70 - NCT07405229RecruitingPhase 4
Medical treatment for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients
This study tests medical treatments for people who survived a cardiac arrest with a specific heart rhythm problem called idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. If your cardiac arrest was likely from a heart issue but not from clogged arteries, you might help find better treatments.
Copenhagen, Dr.Ages 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07085221Recruiting
Remote monitoring for early cardiogenic shock recovery
This trial tests whether digital out-of-hospital management improves outcomes for patients who have recovered from early-stage cardiogenic shock. If you have been discharged after treatment for this condition and can use a smartphone, you may be eligible.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06327334Recruiting
Brain-heart interaction study after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how the brain and heart interact after a cardiac arrest that leaves someone unconscious. It aims to understand these connections better, which could help improve care for future patients.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06044922Recruiting
Using heart rate to predict brain injury after cardiac arrest
This study looks at how your heart rate changes (heart rate variability) to predict brain injury after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors identify brain damage earlier so they can provide better care.
Brest, Brittany RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06711016Recruiting
Managing brain oxygen after emergency life support
This trial tests a targeted approach to manage oxygen levels in the brain for patients who received ECMO (a machine that does the heart and lung work) after a cardiac arrest that did not respond to standard CPR. The goal is to improve brain recovery and outcomes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for heart arrest, out-of-hospital?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting heart arrest, out-of-hospital 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 heart arrest, out-of-hospital 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 heart arrest, out-of-hospital 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.
