Can a drug combo save organs after aortic tear surgery?
NCT ID NCT06966687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving two drugs—Ulinastatin and Thymosin α1—right after emergency surgery for a torn aorta can prevent dangerous body-wide inflammation and organ failure. About 200 adults will receive the drugs, and doctors will track their organ function for a week. The goal is to reduce serious complications that often lead to death after this type of surgery.
