Study Groups

MK-0941

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MK-0941

Intervention Type DRUG

MK-0941 will be taken three times a day (TID), within 15 minutes before each meal. MK-0941 will be titrated to a maximally effective dose. The treatment period will be 6 weeks.

Metformin

Intervention Type DRUG

The study will include an up to 4-week metformin dose titration/dose stabilization period. Once a participant has reached the maximum tolerated dose of metformin \[(i.e., ≥1500 mg/day and ≤2550 mg/day (or ≤3000 mg/day, where the maximum dose of metformin per the local label is 3000 mg/day)\], the participant should remain on the same metformin dose throughout the study.

Glimepiride

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Glimepiride

Intervention Type DRUG

Glimepiride will be taken once a day (QD) in the morning, within 15 minutes before the breakfast meal. Glimepiride will be titrated to a maximally effective dose. The treatment period is 6 weeks.

Metformin

Intervention Type DRUG

The study will include an up to 4-week metformin dose titration/dose stabilization period. Once a participant has reached the maximum tolerated dose of metformin \[(i.e., ≥1500 mg/day and ≤2550 mg/day (or ≤3000 mg/day, where the maximum dose of metformin per the local label is 3000 mg/day)\], the participant should remain on the same metformin dose throughout the study.
