Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: (1) To assess the effect of treatment with MK-0893 in combination with sitagliptin or metformin compared with sitagliptin in combination with metformin on 24-hour weighted mean glucose (WMG) after 4 weeks. (2) To assess the safety and tolerability of MK-0893 in combination with sitagliptin or metformin.;Secondary Objective: (1) To assess the effect of treatment with MK-0893 in combination with metformin or sitagliptin compared with sitagliptin in combination with metformin on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) after 4 weeks. (2) To assess the effect of treatment with MK-0893 in combination with metformin or sitagliptin compared with sitagliptin in combination with metformin on post-prandial glucose (PPG) as measured by 2-hour AUC glucose after 4 weeks. (3) To assess the effect of treatment with MK-0893 in combination with metformin or sitagliptin compared with sitagliptin in combination with metformin on total and active GLP-1 levels after 4 weeks. (4) To assess the effect of treatment with MK-0893 in combination with metformin or sitagliptin compared with sitagliptin in combination with metformin on body weight after 4 weeks.;Primary end point(s): 24-hour Weighted Mean Glucose
