Study to Assess Safety & Efficacy of Sitagliptin as Initial Oral Therapy for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Pediatric Participants. (MK-0431-083)

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of the addition of sitagliptin, and its effect on hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in pediatric participants 10-17 years of age with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with inadequate glycemic control. The primary hypothesis for this study is that sitagliptin reduces A1C more than placebo after 20 weeks of treatment.

About this study

This trial is of approximately 56 weeks in duration, including a screening period of up to 1 week, a 1-week single-blind placebo run-in period, a 20-week placebo-controlled, double blind treatment period [Phase A] and a 34-week double-blind active controlled treatment period [Phase B] during which participants randomized to the placebo arm who have not initiated glycemic rescue therapy with metformin during Phase A will receive metformin (in a blinded manner). A telephone contact will be performed 14 days after the last dose of study medication to assess for any serious adverse events (SAEs).

Participants enrolled in the metformin and placebo/sitagliptin arms prior to implementation of Protocol Amendment 05 completed the study on their original treatment assignments.

EUPASS4468 is a follow-up, non-interventional, observational assessment of safety of participants who participated in the MK-0431-083 study for up to 5 years.
