A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) in the Treatment of Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin and Sitagliptin

This is a safety and efficacy study of ertugliflozin (MK-8835/PF-04971729) in the treatment
of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have inadequate glycemic control on
metformin and sitagliptin. The primary objective of the trial is to assess the hemoglobin
A1C (A1C)-lowering efficacy of the addition of ertugliflozin compared to the addition of
placebo with an underlying hypothesis that addition of treatment with ertugliflozin provides
greater reduction in A1C compared with the addition of placebo; the primary objective will
be tested for both 5-mg and 15-mg doses of ertugliflozin.

The duration of the trial will be approximately 69 weeks. This will include a 1-week
Screening Period, an up to 12-week wash-off/titration /dose-stabilization period, a 2-week
single-blind, placebo run-in period, a 52-week double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment
period (including a 26-week Phase A and 26-week Phase B), and a post-treatment telephone
contact 14 days after the last dose of blinded investigational product.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
