Study 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.

Read the 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.

SecondaryPharmacodynamic: Change From Baseline in Plasma Glucose During the 12-hour Post Absorptive State (AUC/Duration) at Week 4 (Part 1 - United States)

The post absorptive state is defined as the remaining part of day and night that is not the postprandial period. The postprandial period is defined as the sum of 4 hours after breakfast, 4 hours after lunch and 4 hours after dinner for a total of 12 hours. AUC/duration is presented as mg/dL and was calculated by dividing AUC (mg/dL\*hr) by the duration in hours. Model-based least squares mean: ANOVA extracting the effects due to treatment, sequence, period and participant.
