A Study of Different Doses of Sitagliptin (MK-0431) in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (MK-0431-014)

March 31, 2017 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Dose-Ranging Finding Study of Once-Daily Dosing of Sitaglipin (MK-0431) in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control

A study of different doses of MK-0431 in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus. There have been 3 extensions to the base study (Extension 1: up to Week 52, Extension 2: up to Week 106, and Extension 3: up to Week 158). The primary hypothesis for the study is that In participants with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control, after 12 weeks of treatment, a dose-response will be seen across once-daily doses of MK-0431 in lowering hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c).
