Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of MK0736 in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension who are on ongoing therapy with Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker. After a 3 to 5 week pre-randomization phase, patients will be randomized to either MK0736 (3 doses), placebo, or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ). The study will also include a 3 week, posttreatment follow-up period.
