Interventions

Trial Group:Conventional drug therapy + NT-88 (Zuozhudaxi), NT-88 administration: once every 2 days, 4 pills each time, oral administration for 15 times
Control Group:Conventional drug therapy (ARNI/ACEI/ARB/MRA/SGLT2i, etc.), maintain original dosing regimen unchanged

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Aged 18 years or older (inclusive), gender; 2. Willing to participate in the study, understand and sign the informed consent form; 3. Clearly diagnosed as a heart failure patient, with symptoms and/or signs of heart failure: (1) Symptoms: Dyspnea, decreased physical capacity, weakness, fatigue, etc.; (2) Signs: Sparse moist rales in the lungs ("Sparse moist rales" is clinically defined as sparse, discontinuous fine crackles heard during mid-to-late inspiration, typically 1-2 in number, within a limited lung field area), or accompanied by heart murmurs; (3) Examinations (Key for diagnosis): Echocardiography, natriuretic peptide testing, electrocardiogram (ECG); 4. Cardiac imaging examinations (mainly referring to echocardiography) indicate LVEF 41%~49%; 5. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification (see Appendix 1) Class II~III; 6. Stable condition with no significant changes in symptoms, signs, or treatment regimen for at least 3 months; 7. Normal cognitive function.

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known allergy to any component of the investigational product; 2. Complicated with cardiogenic shock, acute severe myocarditis, poorly controlled malignant arrhythmia, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, severe valvular disease requiring surgical intervention, or pulmonary embolism, among others; 3. Hospitalization for acute heart failure decompensation within the past 3 months; 4. Implantation of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) within 3 months; 5. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as resting systolic blood pressure >=180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >=110 mmHg at two separate assessments prior to randomization; 6. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), or total bilirubin >3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) due to non-cardiac causes; estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 5.5 mmol/L; 7.

Major surgery within 6 months; 9. Serious primary diseases of the liver, kidney, hematopoietic system, nervous system, endocrine system, or other severe systemic diseases; malignancy; or psychiatric disorders; 10. Acute infection; 11. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, positive syphilis test, or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection; 12. Life expectancy <1 year; 13. Known hypersensitivity to any study drug, or history of chronic urinary tract infection, or prior or planned bariatric surgery; 14. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy; 15. Participation in another clinical study within 3 months; 16. Subjects deemed unsuitable for participation in this trial by the investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The incidence and severity of adverse events within 30 days of treatment and whether there are any subsequent drug-related adverse events observed after the trial ends;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Change in natriuretic peptide levels from baseline;Change in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline;Change in cardiac function compared to pre-treatment status;Safety indicators (including vital signs, physical examination, complete blood count, urinalysis, blood biochemistry, coagulation profile, transfusion screening, 12-lead electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and serum pregnancy test);
