Study summary

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) after surgical repaired for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a life-threatening condition. In this study, patients who undergoing surgical repaired of ATAAD immediately or presenting sever MODS after surgical repaired of acute type A aortic dissection will be treated with umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell.

Read the detailed description

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are common debilitating complications after surgical repaired for ATAAD. MODS is one of the chief causes of post-operative death for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients, and it was reported that MODS accounted for more than half of the death after surgery for ATAAD. Despite recent advance in surgical technique, mortality rate remains high in such critical care conditions. In animal models, studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of MSCs with respect to ischemia-reperfusion injury of heart, lungs, kidney, brains and livers. Several pilot studies have provided evidence that MSC may be effective in treating critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury, acute renal failure, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is increasing evidence that MSCs function in a paracrine manner. Exosomes have been reported to activate signaling pathways by binding to receptors. Compared with mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes are more stable and storable and no risk of aneuploidy. The possibility of immune rejection after allogeneic administration of exosomes is lower and can provide alternative treatment for a variety of diseases.

The trial contains two parts:

Part one (prevention scheme):to explore the safety and efficacy of exosome of MSC, the investigators will recruit patients who are diagnosed with ATAAD, and 15 participants will be administrated intravenously with exosome of MSC immediately after ascending aortic replacement combined with open placement of triple branched stent graft while other 15 not. Then the investigators will monitor participants' MODS related biochemical indexes, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores, comparing to those don't be treated with exosome of MSC.

Phase two (treatment scheme): for patients presenting severe MODS (SOFA score≥10) after ascending aortic replacement combined with open placement of triple-branched stent graft, the investigators will randomly use exosome of MSC to 15 of participants while other 15 not. Then the investigators will monitor participants' MODS related biochemical indexes, SOFA scores, comparing to those don't be treated with MSC. The dosage of the exosome of MSC was determined on the basis of the previous clinical studies, which is 180mg once a time and administrated intravenously.

Inclusion criteria

  • Part 1:

    • Patients who are diagnosed with ATAAD and received emergency surgery with ascending aortic replacement combined with open placement of triple-branched stent graft
    • elder than 60 years old
    • Preoperative PaO2/FiO2 ≥ 400mmHg, ≥ 150*109/L, ≥ 20μmol/L, no hypotension (without vasoactive drugs), Glasgow Coma Score Scale = 15, creatine ≥110μmol/L

Part 2:

  • Patients who are diagnosed with ATAAD and received emergency surgery with ascending aortic replacement combined with open placement of triple-branched stent graft
  • Patients who have failure of at least 2 organs
  • Patients who meet the criteria as below:

sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA) ≥ 10

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

    • uncontrollable underlying disease of less than 4 days history of long-term use during the past 6 months.

      • The pre-operative computer tomography angiography(CTA) demonstrate the visceral arteries are involved
      • pre-existing severe disease of any major organs
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. survival after intervention

    comparing survival ratio in hospital(6 months post-intervention) between groups.

    Time frame: Up to 6 month

  2. sequential organ failure assessment score

    Compare the change of sequential organ failure assessment score between groups. Scores ranged from 0 to 24. The higher the score, the worse the prognosis.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months

  3. interleukin-6

    Compare the change of concentration of interleukin( IL)-6 between groups.

    Time frame: Early 3 days

  4. The number of allergic reactions

    The number of people diagnosed with cancer after treatment

    Time frame: Up to 2 years
