Study of a blood protein after cardiac arrest
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a protein called neurofilament light changes in the blood after a cardiac arrest. It may help doctors predict how well patients will recover. It involves taking blood samples and following up on your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be in an intensive care unit after a cardiac arrest.
- You must have regained consciousness after the cardiac arrest.
- You must have been in a coma when you arrived at the ICU.
- You must already be part of the AfterROCS2 study.
- You cannot be terminally ill, pregnant, or under legal guardianship.

This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around the brain and in the blood after a cardiac arrest. These proteins may help doctors predict how the patient will recover, which could guide their care.
This study is testing new tools and markers to better predict recovery after cardiac arrest when brain injury may occur. It involves adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated at Saint-Luc hospital.
This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
This trial is looking at the spinal fluid of people who survived a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are being treated for brain injury. The goal is to learn more about brain damage and find new ways to help patients recover.
This study checks whether a blood test that measures tiny pieces of DNA (called nucleosomes) can help predict how critically ill patients will recover. If you are in the ICU with a serious condition like severe infection, heart failure, or trauma, this trial may help guide your care.
This study looks at patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and are still unconscious after their heartbeat returns. The goal is to find early signs that predict when someone will wake up.
