Recruitment Details

Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Fifty-one sites received IEC/IRB approval and were shipped clinical supplies.

Pre-Assignment Details

Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
In total, 583 participants were screened and 276 participants were excluded during screening. The most common reason for participants not being randomized was screen failure. The most common reasons for screen failure were not meeting the metformin and glimepiride dose requirements inclusion criterion or meeting exclusionary laboratory values.

Reporting Groups

	Description
Omarigliptin	Omarigliptin 25 mg capsule administered orally once a week for 24 weeks. Participants continue pre-study concomitant therapy of open-label glimepiride tablet(s) orally once daily (total daily dose >=4 mg per day) and metformin tablet(s) orally once or twice daily (total daily dose >=1500 mg per day).
Placebo	Matching placebo to omarigliptin capsule administered orally once a week for 24 weeks. Participants continue pre-study concomitant therapy of open-label glimepiride tablet(s) orally once daily (total daily dose >=4 mg per day) and metformin tablet(s) orally once or twice daily (total daily dose >=1500 mg per day).
