Recruiting studies
- NCT06608771Recruiting
Outcomes of cardiac arrest patients over the years
This trial looks at how well patients do after a cardiac arrest, focusing on how care has improved over time following new guidelines. It aims to find better ways to help people who survive a cardiac arrest.
Monza, Monza E BrianzaAges 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+ - NCT07017075Enrolling by invitation
Adjusting CPR hand position using ultrasound
This trial tests if using an ultrasound to guide hand placement during CPR improves outcomes for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It may help decide where to push for more effective chest compressions.
ChanghuaAges 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 - NCT05706194Recruiting
Early brain prognosis test after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
This trial studies how to predict brain recovery early after a non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The goal is to help clinicians estimate outcome sooner, which may improve decision-making during intensive care.
HelsinkiAges 18–100 - NCT06207942Recruiting
Extended follow-up for cardiac arrest survivors and caregivers
This study follows up on survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who were already in the STEPCARE trial. It also looks at the well-being of their main caregiver (like a family member or close friend) to see how everyone is doing over time.

ECPR before hospital for cardiac arrest in Pavia
This trial tests if a special heart-lung machine (ECPR) can be started before reaching the hospital after a cardiac arrest. It is for people whose heart does not restart after standard CPR and who meet specific conditions.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT05539391Recruiting
Planning the best way to do emergency breathing tubes
This study tests an approach to improve how clinicians place an emergency breathing tube quickly and safely when someone is in serious breathing or life-threatening distress. It may help by standardizing care and optimizing medications and backup steps during urgent situations.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 recruiting out-of-hospital 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 out-of-hospital 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 out-of-hospital 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.
