Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Neu2000KWL, a neuroprotectant, in patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and receiving therapeutic hypothermia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lack of good neurological recovery is the biggest hurdle in the treatment of out-of-hospital cardia arrest. Neu2000KWL, a N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist and an antioxidant, attenuated cerebral neuronal death and reduced hypoxic injury of brain in preclinical studies. Phase I clinical study has revealed that Neu2000KWL is very safe for treating human. In current study, the investigators will assess the efficacy of Neu2000KWL to compare the neurological biomarker, brain imaging, and clinical outcomes of patients successfully resuscitated from out-of-cardiac arrest treated by 3-day infusion of Neu2000KWL with patients assigned to placebo arm.
