The international ARISE-HF trial was designed to test the effectiveness of the investigational drug AT-001 at stabilizing exercise capacity in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy. Patients had had Type 2 diabetes for an average of 14 years. Decline in exercise ability is a hallmark of progression to overt heart failure.
