Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Baseline in A1C at Week 24 — -0.33; -0.45 Percent — p=0.535
Summary
This study will examine the safety and efficacy of once-weekly omarigliptin in participants 18 to <45 years of age with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and inadequate glycemic control. The study hypothesis is that treatment with omarigliptin compared with placebo provides greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) in participants after 24 weeks.
