Brief Summary

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

This is a study to assess the safety and efficacy of the addition of sitagliptin in Japanese participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on ipragliflozin, diet, and exercise therapy. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the addition of sitagliptin once daily compared with placebo provides greater reduction in hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) as assessed by change from baseline (Week 0) to Week 24.
