Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Having T2DM and is =40 years of age. 2. Subject is on one of the following diabetes treatment regimens that is stable for at least 12 weeks (except for pioglitazone for at least 16 weeks) and is within the associated A1C range for that treatment regimen: - An A1C =6.5 and =10.0% (=48 mmol/mol and =86 mmol/mol) on diet and exercise alone (not on an AHA for =12 weeks) OR monotherapy with metformin (MF); pioglitazone (PIO); an alphaglucosidase inhibitor (AGI); or an SGLT2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) OR dual combination therapy with MF, PIO, AGI or SGLT2i OR - An A1C =7.0% and =10.0% (=53 mmol/mol and =86 mmol/mol) on monotherapy with a sulfonylurea or meglitinide OR dual combination therapy with a sulfonylurea or a meglitinide and MF, PIO, AGI, or SGLT2i OR - An A1C =7.0% and =10.0% (=53 mmol/mol and =86 mmol/mol) on one of the following insulin regimens (with or without metformin) basal insulin (e.g., insulin glargine, insulin detemir, NPH insulin, degludec) prandial insulin (e.g., regular, aspart, lispro, glulisine) basal/prandial insulin regimen consisting of multiple dose insulin injections of basal and prandial insulin or the use of pre-mixed insulin (e.g., Novolog 70/30®, Novolin 70/30®, Humalog 75/25®, or Humulin 70/30®) Note: A stable insulin regimen is defined as no change in the insulin regimen (i.e. type[s] of insulin) and =10% change in the total daily dose of insulin. For example, if the total daily dose of insulin is 50 U/day, doses of 45-55 U/day would be considered as stable. 3. Having following preexisting vascular disease: (a) History of a major clinical manifestation of coronary artery disease (i.e., myocardial infarction, surgical or percutaneous [balloon and/or stent] coronary revascularization procedure, or coronary angiography showing at least one stenosis =50% in a major epicardial artery or branch vessel); (b)Ischemic cerebrovascular disease, including: - History of ischemic stroke - History of carotid arterial disease as documented by =50% stenosis documented by carotid ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or angiography, with or without symptoms of neurologic deficit. (c) Atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, as documented by objective - amputation due to vascular disease, current symptoms of intermittent claudication confirmed by an ankle-brachial pressure index of less than 0.9 or a toe-brachial pressure index less than 0.7 or history of surgical or percutaneous revascularization procedure. 4.Meets one of the following criteria: a. Subject is a male b. Subject is a female not of reproductive potential defined as one who has either: (1) reached natural menopause (defined as =12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea in women >45 years of age, or =6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicular stimulating hormone [FSH] levels in the postmenopausal range as determined by the laboratory),

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the impact of MK-3102 25 mg q.w. on time to confirmed CV outcomes as measured by the time to first event in the CV composite endpoint of CV-related death, nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospitalization. To assess the effect of treatment with MK-3102 25 mg q.w. compared with placebo on A1C at 4 months. To demonstrate the non-inferiority of MK-3102 (omarigliptin) compared with placebo (against a background of standard of care) on the time to first occurrence in the composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI or non-fatal stroke. ; Secondary Objective: To assess the impact of MK-3102 25 mg q.w. on: a. the key secondary composite CV endpoint of confirmed CV-related death, nonfatal MI, or nonfatal stroke; b. the time to first event for each of the following individual CV endpoints: confirmed CV-related death, MI (fatal + nonfatal), stroke (fatal + nonfatal), and unstable angina requiring hospitalization. c. all-cause mortality; To assess the effect of treatment with MK-3102 25 mg q.w. compared with placebo on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at 4 months. To assess the safety and tolerability of MK-3102 25 mg q.w. To assess the impact of MK-3102 25 mg q.w. on: a. The time to first event for each of the following individual CV endpoints: confirmed CV-related death, MI (fatal + nonfatal), and stroke (fatal + nonfatal); b.
