Study Arms:
- Sitagliptin/Metformin (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Participants received one tablet of sitagliptin/metformin and one tablet of metformin-placebo, administered twice daily prior to the morning and evening meals, for up to 20 weeks in the base study alone, or for up to 54 weeks if the participant also entered the extension study. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-170.
- Metformin (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Participants received one tablet of metformin and one tablet of placebo to sitagliptin/metformin, administered twice daily prior to the morning and evening meals, for up to 20 weeks in the base study alone, or for up to 54 weeks if the participant also entered the extension study. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-170.
- Sitagliptin/Metformin XR (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Participants received two tablets of sitagliptin/metformin XR and two tablets of metformin XR placebo, administered once daily with a meal, for up to 54 weeks. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-289.
- Metformin XR (Type: PLACEBO_COMPARATOR): Participants received two tablets of metformin XR and two tablets of placebo to sitagliptin/metformin XR, administered once daily with a meal, for up to 54 weeks. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-289.
