Additive Anti-inflammatory Action for Aortopathy & Arteriopathy (Thymosin α1) V
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.
