Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at 134 investigative sites in the United States (including Puerto Rico), Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico and Peru from 13 June 2007 to 29 August 2008.

Participants who had not received treatment with antidiabetic medication 12 weeks prior to Screening were enrolled in one of three, twice-daily (BID) treatment groups.
