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

Treatments tested in this trial
Conventional treatment
Procedure/SurgeryBeside 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
DrugThe 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
DrugAn 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
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
AUC - SOFA
Area under the SOFA-time curve
Clinical Outcomes - Incidence of tracheotomy
Incidence of tracheotomy
Clinical Outcomes - Re-intubation rate
Re-intubation rate
Clinical Outcomes - Gastrointestinal bleeding (count, rate)
Gastrointestinal bleeding (count, rate)
Other outcomes
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).
