XePOHCAS: Prospective, randomized, multicenter interventional trial in adult subjects with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest comparing treatment with standard-of-care post-cardiac arrest intensive care (which is targeted temperature management [TTM]) to xenon by inhalation plus standard-of-care post-cardiac arrest intensive care (including TTM).
XePOHCAS:

Primary Objective:

To evaluate whether there is a difference in functional outcome with xenon 50% and oxygen during targeted temperature management (TTM) compared with similar oxygen content in air during TTM in comatose subjects with sustained restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) within 30 minutes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Secondary Objective:

To evaluate whether there is a difference in survival with xenon 50% and oxygen during targeted temperature management (TTM) compared with similar oxygen content in air during TTM in comatose subjects with sustained restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) within 30 minutes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).

Combination Product Xenon

50% xenon by inhalation, delivered by customized xenon delivery system, that includes a ventilator, for the 24h period of TH/TTM. The inhalation therapy is provided in combination with protocol-directed Post-Cardiac Arrest Care dictated by the 2015 guidelines from the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council.

  • Other names: XENEX

TH/TTM No Intervention

Protocol-directed standard of care (including TH/TTM) dictated by the 2015 guidelines for Post-Cardiac Arrest Care from the American Heart Association and the European Resuscitation Council. Mechanical Ventilation delivered by individual site-sanctioned ventilator.

TH/TTM plus Xenon Active Comparator

50% xenon gas in addition to standard of care, including therapeutic hypothermia/targeted temperature management (TH/TTM).

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Age at least 18 years but less than or equal to 80 years
Presumed cardiac cause of arrest
Sustained (>20 minutes) spontaneous circulation upon arrival in the emergency department
No response to verbal commands on arrival to emergency department and prior to randomization (Glasgow Coma Scale score of <8)
Attending decision that patient is eligible for TTM

Exclusion Criteria:

Written do not attempt resuscitation reported to providers before randomization
Traumatic etiology of arrest, defined as concomitant blunt, penetrating, or burn-related injury, or uncontrolled bleeding or exsanguination
Suspected or known stroke or intracranial hemorrhage
Unwitnessed cardiac arrest
No-flow (cardiac arrest to initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation/defibrillation) time of >10 minutes
Sustained restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) greater than 30- minutes post-arrest
Interval from arrival at the emergency department to randomization for intervention of >4 hours.
Hypothermia (<30°C core temperature)
Bed-bound prior to cardiac arrest
Unconsciousness before cardiac arrest (cerebral trauma, spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage, intoxication etc.)
Coagulopathy
Systolic arterial pressure <80 mmHg or mean arterial pressure <60 mmHg lasting more than 30 minutes after ROSC
Known pregnancy
Have received an investigational drug, device, or biologic product within 30-days
Known terminal phase of chronic illness
Hypoxemia (SaO2 <85%) for >15 minutes after ROSC
Inability to maintain SaO2 >90% on an FiO2 of 50%
Having any other clinically significant laboratory abnormality, medical condition (such as intrinsic liver disease or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), or social circumstance that, in the investigator's opinion, makes it inappropriate for the patient to participate in this clinical trial
Logistically impossible to provide intervention
Have any condition that would impact the evaluation of modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
