CYclosporine A in Shockable Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest ResUScitation

Phase 3
Withdrawn
Conditions
Shockable Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Interventions
Drug: Single intravenous bolus of cyclosporine A (2.5 mg/kg) at the onset of resuscitation
Drug: Single intravenous bolus of placebo at the onset of resuscitation
Registration Number
NCT02887807
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Cardiac arrest (CA) is a public health problem in industrialized countries. The prognosis of these patients remains poor with significant mortality and severe neurological sequelae in survivors.

The objective of the present study is to determine whether cyclosporine can improve patient clinical outcome after shockable CA. 520 patients with CA will be entered into a multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled study. They will receive one single injection of cyclosporine (or placebo) prior to resuscitation. The incidence of the combined endpoint (mortality, irreversible brain damage informations such as bilateral abolition of N20 wave or absent motor response or extension to the nociceptive stimulation...) will be assessed 7 days after CA.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Combined incidence of all-cause mortality and irreversible brain damage status7 days

the presence of irreversible brain damage is defined by the bilateral abolition of the N20 wave on somatosensory evoked potentials recordings or the absence of motor response or extension to painful stimuli on the Glasgow Coma Scale.
