About this trial

The goal of this multicenter, double-blind, randomized controlled trial is to learn if sivelestat sodium (Siv) can protect the organ function in patients suffered operation for acute type A aortic dissection. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can the 3-day-treatment of Siv enlarge the Day-0-to-Day-5 drop in the organ-health score (SOFA score)? * Can this treatment significantly shrink the area under the SOFA curve from first dose to Day 5? * Can this treatment significantly improve the end of patients in 28 days (clinical outcomes)? Researchers will compare drug Siv to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug Siv works.

Participants will:

* Take drug Siv or the placebo through vein continuously for 72 hours * Receiving regular intensive care in ICU after the operation

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18-75 years inclusive.

Written informed consent obtained before participation.

Confirmed acute Stanford type A aortic dissection scheduled for surgical repair.

Disqualifiers

Life expectancy ≤ 48 hours.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Conventional treatment

    Procedure/Surgery

    Beside the using of Sivelestat Sodium or placebo, all postoperative care will adhere to each center's standard protocols for type A aortic dissection.

  • Sivelestat sodium

    Drug

    The daily dose (4.8 mg/kg) is diluted in 48 mL of 0.9 % saline and administered as a continuous intravenous infusion over 24 hours at 2 mL/h (equivalent to 0.2 mg/kg/h) for 72 consecutive hours.

  • Placebo

    Drug

    An equal volume of placebo-containing only the excipients of sivelestat sodium and diluted to 48 mL with 0.9 % saline-will be infused at 2 mL/h for 72 consecutive hours.

Treatment groups

236 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Sivelestat groupExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Control groupPlacebo comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

ΔSOFA5

ΔSOFA5 is defined as the decrease level of SOFA(Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score from baseline to the fifth day. SOFA score ranges from 0\~24, the higher the score, the poorer the functionality of multiple organs.

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the fifth day in ICU(the fifth day after the first dose)

Secondary outcomes

1

AUC - SOFA

Area under the SOFA-time curve

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the fifth day in ICU(the fifth day after the first dose)
2

Clinical Outcomes - Incidence of tracheotomy

Incidence of tracheotomy

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the 28th day after surgery
3

Clinical Outcomes - Re-intubation rate

Re-intubation rate

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the 28th day after surgery
4

Clinical Outcomes - Gastrointestinal bleeding (count, rate)

Gastrointestinal bleeding (count, rate)

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the 28th day after surgery

Other outcomes

1

Plasma neutrophil elastase levels (exploratory outcome)

Plasma concentration of neutrophil elastase at 1day, 3day and 5day after the first dose in 40 participants enrolled at the main center (20 per arm).

Time frame
from the entry of ICU(baseline, post-operatively) to the fifth day in ICU(the fifth day after the first dose)
