Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Willing and able to provide written informed consent (by the participant or legally authorized representative) 2. Aged 18 to 75 years old, any sex 3. Diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with electrocardiogram (ECG) meeting protocol-specified ST-elevation criteria, and scheduled to undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 4. OR, regardless of ECG criteria, the participant has a completely or nearly completely blocked (TIMI flow grade 0 or 1) proximal or mid left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery as the single culprit vessel 5. The blocked LAD artery has no visible collateral blood supply from other coronary arteries (Rentrop grade 0) 6. Total myocardial ischemic time (time from chest pain onset to guidewire passage during PCI) meets one of the following: More than 2 hours and less than 6 hours of ischemic time, with either post-PCI LAD TIMI flow grade of 2 or less, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or lower measured by cardiac ultrasound during PCI hospitalization; Between 6 and 24 hours of ischemic time (inclusive) 7. Males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception (such as hormonal or barrier methods, or abstinence) throughout the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Prior history of acute myocardial infarction, chronic total coronary occlusion, coronary thrombolysis, PCI, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery 2. Diagnosis of severe acute heart failure (Killip class III or higher) or chronic heart failure (NYHA functional class III or higher) 3. Severe, uncontrolled arrhythmia that cannot be corrected 4. Presence of aortic dissection 5. Severe liver or kidney dysfunction 6. History of stroke within the past 6 months 7. Current or past diagnosis of any malignancy 8. Blood pressure that remains at or above 180 mmHg systolic and/or 110 mmHg diastolic despite adequate antihypertensive treatment 9. History of clinically significant allergic reaction, especially known allergy to protein or biologic drugs 10. Participation in another clinical study within 3 months before screening 11. Unable to undergo cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging (e.g., due to implanted metal devices, severe claustrophobia, or other contraindications) 12. Any other condition that the investigator believes makes participation unsuitable (for example, the need for urgent or planned revascularization of non-LAD coronary arteries within 3 months)
