What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares two CPR methods for newborns with cardiac arrest: a new technique that combines chest compressions with sustained lung inflation versus the standard 3:1 compression-to-ventilation ratio. Researchers will enroll 554 newborns across multiple hospitals to see which method reduces death before leaving the hospital. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to restart the heart and breathing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Chest compression during sustained inflation (CC+SI) procedure
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a better way to perform CPR on newborns, potentially saving more lives during resuscitation.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with 554 participants, and the new method may not prove better than the current standard. There are also risks of lung injury from sustained inflation.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 554 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jul 2033

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Up to 40 minutes

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Newborns with gestational age born between 28 to 43 weeks based on best available obstetrical estimate * Newborns designated to receive full resuscitation, i.e., parental request or pre-determined decision to provide only comfort care at birth * No known major congenital or chromosomal malformation. All newborns who meet inclusion criteria will be enrolled as the centres agreed to change their local hospital policy during the trial. The inclusion criteria are designed to be pragmatic and provide useful knowledge translation for most of the patient population in the future. Exclusion Criteria: \- Newborns born outside of study centers and transported to centers after delivery. Sex, race, and ethnicity are not part of the exclusion criteria for this trial, and as such it should represent the combined demographics of all centers involved.
