Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover, phase II study to assess the effect of aleglitazar on cardiac energetics and function in patients with uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus and no history of coronary artery disease who are drug-naïve or treated with stable metformin. Eligible patients will receive either 150 mcg aleglitazar or placebo orally daily for 6 weeks. After a washout period of 6 weeks, patients will cross over to the treatment not yet received.
