A research study to learn about the effects of IMB-1018972, to try and help your heart cell use energy more efficiently, to find the best dose, and to see how safe it is. This is for patients who may be at risk for a heart condition known as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) as a complication of a type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
