Participant's stage of sexual maturation was assessed using the Tanner staging measure for determining pubertal development in female participants. Tanner staging includes an assessment of pubic hair development (females). Tanner stage (pubic hair) is a score of range 1 to 5 where 1=no development and 5=adult pubic hair. This change from baseline was Week 54 Tanner Staging for Pubic Hair minus the Week 0 Tanner Staging for Pubic Hair.

Change From Baseline in Tanner Stage for Pubic Hair at Week 20 - Males

Participant's stage of sexual maturation was assessed using the Tanner staging measure for determining pubertal development in male participants. Tanner staging includes an assessment of pubic hair development (males). Tanner stage (pubic hair) is a score of range 1 to 5 where 1=no development and 5=adult pubic hair. This change from baseline was Week 20 Tanner Staging for Pubic Hair minus the Week 0 Tanner Staging for Pubic Hair.

Participants With Worsening in Dental Status at Week 20

Participants were evaluated with a visual oral exam; a subset had dental photographs. Teeth worsening was defined as worsening of tooth fracture, tooth discoloration, or enamel defect as determined by an independent reviewer. Worsening in these categories was a change in dental defect assessments made by comparing Week 20 dental assessments versus baseline dental assessments.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.
