Naloxone for cardiac arrest linked to drug use
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving naloxone, a medicine that reverses the effects of opioids, during a cardiac arrest outside the hospital can help save lives. It is for adults whose cardiac arrest may have been caused by opioid use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and emergency services started CPR and gave you epinephrine
- Emergency responders suspect that drug use may have caused the cardiac arrest
- Emergency responders have not already given you naloxone
- Your cardiac arrest is not from trauma, choking, or drowning
- You are not pregnant

This trial trains volunteers to give naloxone, a medication that reverses opioid overdoses, using a smartphone app to alert nearby responders. It could help save lives by getting antidote treatment to overdose victims faster.
This study offers an engagement program for young people who tested positive for opioids and meet criteria for opioid dependence. The goal is to help participants stop opioid use safely and learn whether this approach works well in the real-world emergency setting.
This trial tests whether giving naloxone (a medicine that blocks the effects of opioid drugs) during CPR can improve survival after a cardiac arrest in the hospital. It may help by reversing any opioid-related causes of the cardiac arrest, potentially giving you a better chance of recovery.
This early study tests a medicine called naloxone, given by the study, to see how it affects the brain and safety in people who are otherwise well. It may help researchers understand naloxone’s potential role in brain-related conditions.
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 study tests a new drug, CS-1103, to see if it can safely help reverse the effects of fentanyl (a strong opioid) even after a naloxone block. Healthy volunteers who have used opioids before will be given fentanyl and then the study drug, while researchers monitor safety and how the drug works.
