Registration Number
NCT00673465
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of SCH 497079 on metabolic parameters and to determine the influence of race/ethnic origin on therapeutic response.

Detailed Description

This study includes two parts, each part includes three consecutive 28-day treatment periods. Part 1 (to be conducted in the United States): each participant will receive the following treatments for 28 days in each of three treatment periods in an order determined by a random code: SCH 497079, or matching placebo, or metformin.

Part 2 (to be conducted in India): this part of the study will be conducted after completion of Part 1 and an analysis indicates a clinically significant decrease in blood glucose in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared to placebo. The same procedures conducted in Part 1 will be conducted in Part 2.

Change from baseline in 24-hour plasma glucose on the last day of treatment. On the day of the glucose collections (and the day prior to), standardized meals breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack) were provided and consumed over 15 minutes.

Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (Part 1 - United States)Up to 14 days after last dose of study drug (up to 98 days)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product, biologic (at any dose), or medical device, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. AEs may include the onset of new illness and the exacerbation of pre-existing conditions.
