Experimental: Sitagliptin/Metformin - Participants received one tablet of sitagliptin/metformin and one tablet of metformin-placebo, administered twice daily prior to the morning and evening meals, for up to 20 weeks in the base study alone, or for up to 54 weeks if the participant also entered the extension study. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-170.
Placebo Comparator: Metformin - Participants received one tablet of metformin and one tablet of placebo to sitagliptin/metformin, administered twice daily prior to the morning and evening meals, for up to 20 weeks in the base study alone, or for up to 54 weeks if the participant also entered the extension study. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-170.
Experimental: Sitagliptin/Metformin XR - Participants received two tablets of sitagliptin/metformin XR and two tablets of metformin XR placebo, administered once daily with a meal, for up to 54 weeks. Participants in this arm were enrolled in protocol MK-0431A-289.

Treatment: Drugs: Sitagliptin plus metformin
Participants received 2 tablets daily, one taken with a morning meal and one taken with an evening meal, to provide a total daily dose of 100 mg of sitagliptin and 1000 mg, 1700 mg or 2000 mg of metformin. Dosage of metformin was based on each participant's daily metformin dose prior to enrollment.
Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to metformin
Participants received 2 tablets daily, one taken with a morning meal and one taken with an evening meal. Each tablet contained placebo to metformin.
Treatment: Drugs: Metformin
Participants received 2 tablets daily, one taken with a morning meal and one taken with an evening meal, to provide a total daily dose of 1000 mg, 1700 mg or 2000 mg of metformin. Dosage was based on each participant's daily metformin dose prior to enrollment.
Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to sitagliptin plus metformin
Participants received 2 tablets daily, one taken with a morning meal and one taken with an evening meal. Each tablet contained placebo to sitagliptin plus metformin.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to metformin XR
Participants received 2 tablets daily, both taken together with a meal. Each tablet contained placebo to metformin XR.
Treatment: Drugs: Insulin
Participants who met protocol-specific glycemic rescue criteria received insulin as glycemic rescue therapy; participants on background insulin had their insulin dose increased for glycemic rescue. During Weeks 20-54, for participants who were not on background insulin or rescued with insulin during Weeks 0-20 in the "Sitagliptin/Metformin" and "Metformin" arms (protocol MK-0431A-170), and during Weeks 0-54 for participants not on background insulin in the "Sitagliptin/Metformin XR" and "Metformin XR" arms (protocol MK-0431A-289), the type of insulin for glycemic rescue was specified to be insulin glargine.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the addition of sitagliptin (administered as MK-0431A or MK-0431A XR) relative to the addition of placebo on glycated hemoglobin (A1C), and the safety and tolerability of the addition of sitagliptin, in pediatric participants (ages 10-17 years) with type 2 diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on metformin therapy (alone or in combination with insulin). The primary hypothesis is that the addition of sitagliptin reduces glycated hemoglobin (A1C) more than the addition of placebo after 20 weeks of treatment.
