Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1) After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on A1C compared with the addition of placebo; 2) To assess the safety and tolerability of the addition of sitagliptin compared with the addition of placebo.;Secondary Objective: 1) After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on 2-hour post-meal glucose (PMG) (following a standard meal) compared with the addition of placebo; 2) After 24 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) compared with the addition of placebo; 3) After 24 weeks to assess the proportion of patients requiring rescue therapy with the addition of treatment with sitagliptin compared with the addition of placebo; 4) After 54 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on A1C; 5) After 54 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on 2-hour PMG; 6) After 54 weeks, to assess the effect of the addition of treatment with sitagliptin on FPG.;Primary end point(s): A1C – change from baseline at Week 24
