None currently known. But I suggest that this is not a very high-priority problem at the moment; if you solve the more pressing ones, you'll have literally billions of years to figure out an escape path from the universe.
Or billions of years of despair knowing there isn't one...
Because obviously the only valid response to knowing death is inevitable is despair during your non-dead time...
Of course not... You can also wirehead yourself to avoid thinking of the impending doom!
I hope you didn't saw my comment as a real proposal for regulating billions-years-in-the-future civilization :)
It was more on the spirit of a Lovecraftian side note...
Although I think, more seriously, that a civ heavily invested in preventing death would be reasonably crippled if it suddenly find another, inevitable source of death. E.g. once anti-aging is widespread, a deadly virus that targets those who have been treated.
