Naloxone for opioid-related cardiac arrest outside hospital
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if giving naloxone to adults having a heart attack outside the hospital that is likely caused by opioids can help improve outcomes. Participants will receive naloxone along with standard emergency care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests ways to improve how people receive naloxone (an emergency overdose-reversal medicine) education when they leave the emergency department with a prescription kit. It may help patients and caregivers feel more confident using naloxone during an overdose emergency.
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 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 emergency treatments for people who have had a cardiac arrest (heart stops beating) outside the hospital. It looks at two groups: people whose hearts stop despite CPR efforts, and people whose hearts have restarted. The goal is to see if these treatments can help patients survive and recover better.
