A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Comparator-Controlled Clinical Trial to Study the Safety and Efficacy of the Addition of Ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) Compared With the Addition of Glimepiride in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of ertugliflozin
(MK-8835/PF-04971729) compared with the addition of glimepiride in participants with T2DM
who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin. The duration of the trial will be up to
approximately 122 weeks. This will include a 1-week screening period, an up to 13-week
wash-off/titration/dose stabilization period, a 2-week placebo run-in period, a 104-week
double-blind, active comparator-controlled treatment period, and a post-treatment telephone
contact 14 days after the last dose of study drug. The primary hypothesis of this study is
that after 52 weeks, the change from baseline in hemoglobin A1C in participants treated with
the addition of ertugliflozin 15 mg once daily is non-inferior compared with that in
participants treated with the addition of glimepiride.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of T2DM in accordance to American Diabetes Association guidelines
