Xenon gas for brain protection after cardiac arrest
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing a gas called xenon can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for people who are unconscious after their heart stops and aims to improve recovery and reduce brain damage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be 18 to 80 years old
- The heart stopped because of a heart problem, not an accident or trauma
- Someone saw the cardiac arrest happen
- CPR or a defibrillator was started within 10 minutes of the heart stopping
- Must be unresponsive (coma) upon arrival at the emergency room
- No known stroke or bleeding in the brain, and no severe bleeding disorder

This Phase 3 trial studies treatments given after a person survives an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to improve recovery and survival. It is for patients who stay unconscious for a short time after circulation returns, and who meet safety conditions.
This trial tests a new way to cool the body quickly after a cardiac arrest using a special liquid that is breathed into the lungs. The goal is to protect the brain and improve recovery.
This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in the brain during recovery from cardiac arrest. It aims to see if monitoring brain oxygen helps doctors make better treatment decisions after the heart restarts.
This trial tests different ways to care for people after a cardiac arrest, focusing on head position and body temperature. It aims to see if these methods help improve recovery and survival.
This study tests an inhaled gas called xenon to see if it can safely reduce brain inflammation. The study is for healthy volunteers aged 55-75 to check safety and early signs of benefit.
This trial studies a hospital treatment for people who have a cardiac arrest while in the hospital and still need help breathing. It may help improve care right after this emergency by testing an airway resuscitation approach.
