About this study

Official title: The Relationship Between Brain Injury Biomarkers in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Blood of Patients After Cardiac Arrest and Prognosis.

This study is a single-center, prospective, observational study. After successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation for patients with cardiac arrest, they will be transferred to the emergency intensive care unit for further standardized targeted temperature management. When evaluating that the patient meets the indications for lumbar puncture and there are no contraindications for lumbar puncture, lumbar puncture examinations will be completed immediately after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), at 24 hours of hypothermia, at 72 hours of hypothermia, and after rewarming. Routine cerebrospinal fluid examinations such as cerebrospinal fluid routine, cerebrospinal fluid biochemistry, and cerebrospinal fluid lactate will be sent for inspection. At the same time, 6 ml of cerebrospinal fluid will be retained and stored in a refrigerator at -80°C. After sample collection is completed, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) will be used to detect markers such as NSE, HCH-L1, NFL, tau, MBP, GFAP, and S100β. While performing the lumbar puncture examination, peripheral blood will be collected. After centrifugation for 10 minutes (4000 revolutions), serum will be retained and stored in a refrigerator at -80°C to complete the examination of the above markers. After 3 months, the patient\'s neurological function prognosis will be followed up according to the Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Neurologic prognosis

    Patients will be followed up for neurologic prognosis according to the Pittsburgh Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) scale at 3 months after disease onset.The CPC score ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 indicating good performance, 2 indicating moderate disability, 3 indicating severe disability, 4 indicating vegetative state and 5 indicating brain death or death.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Arrest (CA) and Brain Injuries, Acute, run by Tang Ziren at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Feb 2025. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neurologic prognosis (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Feb 2025.
