Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate whether the addition of Sitagliptin treatment provides a greater decrease in A1C levels compared to placebo in participants with inadequate glycemic control on sulfonylurea and metformin combination therapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Comparator: placebo to Sitagliptin

Intervention Type DRUG

Phase A (Weeks 0-24): placebo to Sitagliptin 100 mg once a day for 24 weeks; Phase B (Weeks 24-54): placebo to Sitagliptin once a day for 30 weeks

Comparator: pioglitazone

Intervention Type DRUG

Phase B (Weeks 24-54): pioglitazone 30 mg once a day for 30 weeks

Glimepiride or gliclazide

Intervention Type DRUG

Phase A (Weeks 0-24): stable dose, as prescribed by investigator, of glimepiride or gliclazide; Phase B (Weeks 24-54): stable dose, as prescribed by investigator, of glimepiride or gliclazide
