1

sitagliptin

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

sitagliptin

Intervention Type DRUG

Sitagliptin 100 mg q.d. (q.d. = once daily); Duration of Treatment: 30 weeks

open-label metformin

Intervention Type DRUG

open-label metformin oral tablets (≥1500 mg/day) in addition to Glimepiride or Sitagliptin treatment.

2

glimepiride

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparator: glimepiride

Intervention Type DRUG

glimepiride 1 mg per day to be up-titrated (up to week 18 of the double-blind treatment period) as considered appropriate by the investigator, based upon the results of patient's self blood glucose monitoring (SBGM). The maximum dose of glimepiride must not be higher than 6 mg/day.

open-label metformin

Intervention Type DRUG

open-label metformin oral tablets (≥1500 mg/day) in addition to Glimepiride or Sitagliptin treatment.
