A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ertugliflozin in Asian Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Inadequate Glycemic Control on Metformin Monotherapy (MK-8835-012)

Summary

This is a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the addition of ertugliflozin to metformin monotherapy in Asian participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitis (T2DM) who have inadequate glycemic control on metformin monotherapy. The primary hypothesis is that the mean reduction from baseline in HbA1C for 15 mg and 5 mg ertugliflozin (tested sequentially) is greater than for placebo.
