Xenon gas for brain injury after a ruptured brain aneurysm
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether xenon gas can reduce brain injury after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (a bleeding caused by a brain aneurysm). It aims to help people who are very sick right after the bleeding by improving brain function outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Consent is available from your next of kin or legal representative
- Imaging shows a ruptured aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage (CTA or DSA)
- You are 18 or older, and have worsening consciousness (Hunt-Hess 3 to 5)
- You are on a breathing tube (intubated) and your GCS is 3 to 12 after stopping muscle-relaxing drugs
- Xenon treatment must start within 6 hours of symptom onset
- No known brain injury from trauma and no large brain bleed (over 2.5 cm)

This Phase 4 trial tests whether giving ketamine during anesthesia is safe and helpful for adults with severe sudden brain injuries after surgery. It may improve how patients are sedated and cared for while they are on a breathing machine.
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.
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 study uses a special MRI scan (Xenon gas imaging) to look at how well your lungs and heart are working. It is for people with certain lung conditions, those getting blood transfusions or phlebotomy, or healthy volunteers.
This study tests whether carefully raising your carbon dioxide level toward normal can improve recovery after a bleeding stroke from a brain aneurysm. If you qualify, the treatment may help protect your brain from further damage.
This trial tests whether a special MRI that uses xenon gas can help doctors better plan radiation therapy for lung cancer. You may join if you are scheduled for stereotactic body radiation therapy for your lung cancer.
