Protective Effect of Thymosin Α1 Against Negative Immune Dysregulation and Organ Dysfunction After Acute Aortic Dissection Surgery (PANDA II) (PANDA)

December 9, 2024 updated by: Hong Liu, Nanjing Medical University
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are the major causes of death in patients with acute aortic syndrome (AAS). Therefore, the prevention of SIRS and MODS is of great clinical value, and immunomodulatory therapy with thymosin alpha 1 may be beneficial. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the administration of thymosin alpha 1 during the acute phase of AAS will result in a reduced incidence of SIRS and MODS.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The highest Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score of 7 days after surgery
Time Frame: 7 days after surgery
The occurrence of new-onset organ failure and new-onset persistent organ failure (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. New-onset is defined as events that occur after randomization and not present 24 hours before randomization.
7 days after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
30-day mortality
Time Frame: 30 days after randomization
Death from any cause of 30 days after randomization
30 days after randomization
