About this study

Official title: Intra-arrest Therapeutic Hypothermia in Prehospital Cardiac Arrest. Impact on Biomarker of Brain Damage.

The aim is to precise the place of therapeutic hypothermia induced before Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) in pre hospital cardiac arrest. If we find a benefit in terms of biomarkers in inducing in early hypothermia compared to hypothermia induced only after arrival at the hospital, there will be arguments to develop a higher scale study, allowing to prove benefits in terms of survival and neurological status.

Read the detailed description

Principal aim : prove the efficiency of early therapeutic hypothermia induced during ischemia in pre hospital cardiac arrest by a reduction of brain damage biomarkers.

Secondary aim: prove the efficiency of early therapeutic induced hypothermia in the reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. Determine the number of ROSC, patients survival, neurological status 48 hours after cardiac arrest (GCS) and when leaving the hospital, impact following initial cardiac rhythm and the cooling rate of early therapeutic induced hypothermia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypothermia. and No early hypothermia in people with Cardiac Arrest, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prove efficacy of early induced hypothermia during ischemia in pre hospital cardiac arrest by a reduction of brain damage biomarkers. (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00886184, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jan 2013.
