Brief Summary:
A five-period crossover study to assess and compare the trough dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibition at 24-hours following the final morning dose for sitagliptin, saxagliptin and vildagliptin after 5 days of once daily dosing and vildagliptin after 5 days of twice daily dosing in participants with T2DM. The primary hypothesis is that following multiple daily dose administration to achieve steady-state drug concentrations, 100-mg sitagliptin will demonstrate greater DPP-4 inhibition at 24-hours after the final dose compared to 5-mg saxagliptin and 50-mg vildagliptin (once daily administration) in participants with T2DM. Each participant will receive all 5 treatments in randomized order. There will be a washout interval of at least 10 days between the last dose of study drug in one period and the first dose of study drug in the following period.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

- Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Area Under the Curve 0-12 Hours (AUC 0-12hr) for Vildagliptin 50 mg BID [ Time Frame: Predose (0 hours) and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours after the morning dose on Day 5 ]AUC 0-12hr is the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve calculated for the 12 hour interval after the Day 5 morning dose for the vildagliptin 50 mg BID dose only.
- Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Peak Plasma Drug Concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: Predose (0 hours) and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 13 (vildagliptin 50 mg BID only), 14 (vildagliptin 50 mg BID only), 16, 20, 24, 36, 48 and 96 hours after the morning dose on Day 5 ]Measurement of the peak plasma drug concentration following the Day 5 morning dose.
- Pharmacokinetic Analysis: Time to the Peak Plasma Drug Concentration (Tmax) [ Time Frame: Predose (0 hours) and 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 13 (vildagliptin 50 mg BID only), 14 (vildagliptin 50 mg BID only), 16, 20, 24, 36, 48 and 96 hours after the morning dose on Day 5 ]Measurement of the time to the peak plasma drug concentration following the Day 5 morning dose.
