MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Main objective : In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on diet and exercise: (1) After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of treatment with MK-0431 compared with placebo on HbA1C. (2) To assess the safety and tolerability of MK-0431. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives : After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of treatment with MK-0431 compared with placebo on: (1) fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fructosamine; and (2) the plasma glucose profile after a standard meal challenge. Over 104 weeks, to assess the effect of treatment with MK-0431 on: (3) HbA1C and FPG; (4) the durability of glycemic efficacy; (5) In a subset of patients undergoing more extensive blood sampling after a standard meal challenge: indices of insulin secretion derived from the C-peptide, insulin, and glucose profile. (6) In a subset of patients undergoing intravenous glucose tolerance testing: indices of insulin secretion derived from the C-peptide, insulin, and glucose profile.;Primary end point(s): a. Patient has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus or a history of ketoacidosis b. Patient has an ALT or AST >2.0-fold the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) c.
