Trial for medicines after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- The cardiac arrest happened outside the hospital and was thought to be from a heart cause
- Circulation returned and stayed stable for 20 minutes without needing ongoing chest compressions or a heart pump
- You are unconscious (cannot follow verbal commands) after the circulation has returned
- Able to be screened within 3 hours (180 minutes) after circulation returned

This trial collects health information from people who have survived a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops) and have been brought back to life. The information may help doctors improve care and recovery after this event.
This trial tests whether a combination of three medications (epinephrine, vasopressin, and a steroid) given by paramedics before arriving at the hospital can improve survival for adults who have a cardiac arrest outside of a hospital. It is only for patients who are treated by specially trained paramedics and meet specific medical criteria.
This trial tests a treatment that uses a blood pressure cuff on your arms to try to protect your brain and organs after your heart stopped outside the hospital. You will be in the intensive care unit, and the study will check if this simple 'remote conditioning' can improve recovery.
This trial tests two treatments for people who are unconscious after their heart stops: a specific head position and a way to control body temperature. The goal is to see if these treatments help improve recovery.
This trial tests if a special blood pressure cuff (like a tourniquet) placed on the leg can protect the brain after a cardiac arrest. It is for patients who are unconscious and on a breathing machine after their heart restarts.
This trial tests whether xenon gas can help protect the brain in adults who are in a coma after an out-of-hospital heart arrest. It aims to improve recovery by reducing brain injury during the critical time right after resuscitation.
