This study is being done to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose level of sitagliptin (MK-0431/ONO-5435) used once daily (qd) in Japanese participants with impaired glucose tolerance who have inadequate glycemic control using diet and exercise therapy.

Percent Change From Baseline in Glucose Total Area Under the Concentration Curve 0 to 2 Hours (AUC 0-2 Hrs) for Meal Tolerance Test (MTT) at Week 8
Glucose total AUC 0-2 hours for MTT was measured at Baseline (Week 0) and at Week 8. After fasting for ≥10 hours, blood samples for glucose measurement were drawn at 0 minutes (at standard meal loading), 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes. At Week 8, participants received study drug or placebo 30 minutes prior to consuming a standard meal.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8
Percentage of Participants Who Experienced One or More Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product.
Time frame: Up to 10 weeks
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an Adverse Event (AE)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product.
Time frame: Up to 8 weeks
Percent Change From Baseline in Glucose Total Area Under the Concentration Curve 0 to 2 Hours (AUC 0-2 Hrs) for 75-gram Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) at Week 7
Glucose total AUC 0-2 hours for 75 g OGTT was measured at Baseline (Week -1) and at Week 7. After fasting for ≥10 hours, blood samples for glucose measurement were drawn at 0 minutes (at 75 g glucose loading), 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes. At Week 7, participants received study drug or placebo 30 minutes prior to loading 75 g glucose solution.
