Induced Hypothermia clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Induced hypothermia is a medical treatment that lowers body temperature on purpose. UCSF is studying cooling in children after cardiac arrest to see effects on the brain. UCSF is comparing short and long cooling times and tracking safety and brain recovery.

  • Pediatric Influence of Cooling Duration on Efficacy in Cardiac Arrest Patients (P-ICECAP)

    open to eligible people ages up to 17 years

    This is a multicenter trial to establish the efficacy of cooling and the optimal duration of induced hypothermia for neuroprotection in pediatric comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. The study team hypothesizes that longer durations of cooling may improve either the proportion of children that attain a good neurobehavioral recovery or may result in better recovery among the proportion already categorized as having a good outcome.
