Pipeline and R&D Activities

Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 were JPY 729.9 billion. Takeda does not report disaggregated R&D expenses, including by therapeutic area or clinical trial stage, as our R&D budget is determined on a company-wide basis and specific expenditures may be subject to re-allocation depending on development results and priorities.

The research and development (R&D) of biopharmaceutical products is a lengthy and expensive process that can span more than 10 years. The process includes multiple studies to evaluate a product's efficacy and safety, followed by submission to regulatory authorities who review the data and decide whether to grant marketing approval. Only a small number of therapeutic candidates pass such rigorous investigation and become available for use in clinical treatment. Once approved, there is ongoing R&D support for marketed products, including life-cycle management, medical affairs, and other investments.

Clinical trials, which must comply with regional and international regulatory guidelines, generally take five to seven years or longer, and require substantial expenditures. In general, clinical trials are performed in accordance with the guidelines set by the International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. The relevant regional regulatory authorities are the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the United States, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the EU, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for Japan and National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for China.

The three phases of human clinical trials, which may overlap with each other, are as follows:

Phase 1 ("P-1") clinical trials

Conducted using a small group of healthy adult volunteers in order to evaluate safety and absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of the drug.

Phase 2 ("P-2") clinical trials

Conducted using a small group of patient volunteers in order to evaluate safety, efficacy, dosage and administration methods. P-2 clinical trials may be divided into two sub-categories,P-2a and P-2b.P-2a are usually pilot studies designed to demonstrate clinical efficacy or biological activity. P-2b studies look to find the optimum dose at which the drug shows biological activity with minimal side-effects.

Phase 3 ("P-3") clinical trials

Conducted using a large number of patient volunteers in order to evaluate safety and efficacy in comparison to other medications already available or placebo.

Of these three phases, Phase 3 requires the largest expenditures and thus the decision to proceed with Phase 3 testing is a critical business decision in the drug development process. For those drug candidates that pass Phase 3 clinical trials, a New Drug Application ("NDA"), Biologics License Application ("BLA") or a Marketing Authorization Application ("MAA") is submitted to the relevant governmental authorities for approval, which if granted permits the subsequent launch of the drug. The preparation of an NDA, BLA or MAA submission involves considerable data collection, verification, analysis and expense. Even after the launch of the product, health authorities require post-marketing surveillance of adverse events, and they may request a post-marketing study to provide additional information regarding the risks and benefits of the product.

Takeda's R&D engine is focused on translating science into highly innovative, life-transforming medicines that make a critical difference to patients. Takeda supports dedicated R&D efforts across three areas: Innovative Biopharma, Plasma-Derived Therapies ("PDT") and Vaccines. The R&D engine for Innovative Biopharma is the largest component of our R&D investment and has produced exciting new molecular entities ("NMEs") that represent potential best-in-class and/or first-in-class medicines in areas of high unmet medical need, both in rare and more prevalent conditions, across our core therapeutic areas (Gastrointestinal and inflammation, neuroscience, and oncology). Takeda is committed to rare diseases, and many of the life- transforming medicines we are pursuing will treat rare diseases in our core therapeutic areas as well as in PDT. We are working to harness the potential of cell and gene therapies by investing in new capabilities and next-generation platforms internally and through a network of partnerships. We are embracing data and digital technologies to improve the quality of innovation and accelerate execution.

Takeda's pipeline is positioned to support both the near-term and long-term sustained growth of the company. Once first approval of a product is achieved, Takeda R&D is equipped to support geographic expansions of such approval and approvals

in additional indications, as well as post-marketing commitment and potential additional formulation work. Takeda's R&D team works closely with the commercial functions to maximize the value of marketed products and reflect commercial insights in its R&D strategies and portfolio.

In addition to our concentrated efforts to increase our in-house R&D capabilities, external partnerships with third-party partners are a key component of our strategy for enhancing our R&D pipeline. Our strategy to expand and diversify our external partnerships allows us to take part in research of a wide variety of new products and increases the chances that we will be able to take part in a major research-related breakthrough.

Our key in-house R&D facilities include:

  • Greater Boston Area Research and Development Site: Our Boston R&D site is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the United States. It is the center of our global gastrointestinal and inflammation, oncology, and other rare diseases programs R&D, and also supports R&D in other areas including plasma-derived therapies and vaccines, as well as research in immunomodulation and biologics. The site is home to the Takeda Cell Therapy engine with a state-of-the- art cell therapy manufacturing facility. Furthermore, Takeda signed a 15-year lease for an approximately 600,000 square foot state-of-the-art R&D and office facility under construction in Kendall Square, which Takeda plans to occupy from 2026.
  • Shonan Health Innovation Park: Located in Fujisawa and Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan, the Shonan Health Innovation Park ("Shonan iPark") was opened in 2018 when Takeda transformed its Shonan Research Center into the first pharma-led science park in Japan by opening its doors to external parties and is the primary location for Takeda's neuroscience research. To attract more diverse partners and to further the success of the Shonan iPark, Takeda transferred ownership rights of Shonan iPark to a trustee in 2020 and transferred operation of Shonan iPark to a company established by Takeda in 2023. Takeda, as a flagship tenant, is committed to invigorating life science research in Japan.
  • San Diego Research and Development Site: Our R&D site located in San Diego, California in the United States supports R&D in the gastrointestinal and inflammation and neuroscience areas. The San Diego research center operates as a "biotech-like" site and leverages internal capabilities such as structural biology and biophysics to catalyze research internally and externally.
  • Vienna, Austria Research and Development Site: Our R&D site, located in Vienna, Austria, supports programs in R&D and in PDT. The research center focuses on biologics programs in R&D and contains manufacturing sites for plasma derived products. A new R&D laboratory is planned to be constructed in Vienna's Donaustadt district in 2026 as a "Green Building" and is designed to be certified as a Total Quality Building (TQB), which includes accessibility, comfort and adherence to environmental sustainability standards.

Major progress on R&D events since April 2023 are listed as follows:

R&D pipeline

Gastrointestinal and Inflammation

In Gastrointestinal and Inflammation, Takeda focuses on delivering innovative, life-changing therapeutics for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, including those of the liver as well as immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Takeda is maximizing the potential of our inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) franchise around ENTYVIO, including development of a subcutaneous formulation and expansion into other indications such as active chronic pouchitis. Takeda is also expanding its position with GATTEX/REVESTIVE to support further potential geographic expansion. Furthermore, Takeda is progressing a pipeline built through in-house discovery, partnerships and business development, exploring opportunities in inflammatory diseases (specifically in gastric, dermatological and rheumatic disorders, along with select rare hematological & renal diseases (mezagitamab (TAK-079), etc.)), liver diseases, and neurogastric diseases. Zasocitinib (TAK-279) is an example of an acquisition through business development of a late-stage, potential best-in-class oral allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor with potential to treat multiple immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Fazirsiran (TAK-999) is an example of an addition through partnership and a potential first-in-class RNAi for alpha-1antitrypsin-deficiency associated liver disease in late-stage development.

Note: ADZYNMA (apadamtase alfa/cinaxadamtase alfa (recombinant) (Development code: TAK-755) ) and mezagitamab (TAK-079) have been developed in Gastrointestinal and Inflammation starting from FY2023 Q4.

ENTYVIO / Generic name: vedolizumab

  • In April 2023, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review its Biologics License Application (BLA) resubmission for the investigational subcutaneous (SC) administration of ENTYVIO for

Table of Contents

maintenance therapy in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) after induction therapy with ENTYVIO intravenous (IV). The resubmission was intended to address FDA feedback in a December 2019 Complete Response Letter (CRL). Since receiving the CRL Takeda worked closely with the FDA to address the Agency's feedback; and this resubmission package included additional data collected to investigate the use of subcutaneous administration of ENTYVIO. The contents of the letter were unrelated to the IV formulation of ENTYVIO, the clinical safety and efficacy data, and conclusions from the pivotal VISIBLE 1 trial supporting the ENTYVIO SC BLA. VISIBLE 1 assessed the safety and efficacy of a SC formulation of ENTYVIO as maintenance therapy in 216 adult patients with moderately to severely active UC who achieved clinical response at week 6 following two doses of open-label ENTYVIO IV therapy at weeks 0 and 2. The primary endpoint was clinical remission at week 52, which was defined as a total Mayo score of ≤2 and no subscore >1. In September 2023, Takeda announced that the FDA approved a SC administration of ENTYVIO for maintenance therapy in adults with moderately to severely active UC after induction therapy with ENTYVIO IV.

  • In September 2023, Takeda announced that it received an approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for a partial change to the marketing authorization status of ENTYVIO Pens for SC Injection 108 mg / Syringes for SC Injection 108 mg (ENTYVIO SC) as a maintenance therapy for moderate to severe active Crohn's disease with inadequate response to conventional treatment. This approval is based on the results of the MLN0002SC-3031 and MLN0002SC-3030 clinical trials, which are international Phase 3 trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of ENTYVIO SC as a maintenance therapy in moderate to severe active Crohn's disease.
  • In April 2024, Takeda announced that the FDA approved ENTYVIO SC administration for maintenance therapy in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease after induction therapy with ENTYVIO IV. The approval is based on the VISIBLE 2 Study (SC CD Trial), a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled trial, which assessed the safety and efficacy of an SC formulation of ENTYVIO as maintenance therapy in total 409 adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease who had clinical response at week 6 following two doses of open-label ENTYVIO intravenous therapy at weeks 0 and 2. A statistically significant proportion of patients receiving ENTYVIO SC 108 mg maintenance therapy administered every 2 weeks achieved long-term clinical remission compared to patients receiving placebo (ENTYVIO SC: 48% vs. Placebo: 34%; p<0.01) at week 52. In clinical studies, the ENTYVIO SC safety profile was generally consistent with the known safety profile of ENTYVIO IV, with the addition of injection site reactions (including injection site erythema, rash, pruritus, swelling, bruising, hematoma, pain, urticaria and edema) as an adverse reaction for ENTYVIO SC.

ALOFISEL / Generic name: darvadstrocel

  • In October 2023, Takeda announced that the Phase 3 ADMIRE-CD II study, assessing the efficacy and safety of ALOFISEL for the treatment of complex Crohn's Perianal Fistulas (CPF), did not meet its primary endpoint of combined remission at 24 weeks, based on topline data. The safety profile for darvadstrocel was consistent with prior studies and there were no new safety signals identified. Full results of the study will be presented at a future medical meeting or published in a peer-reviewed journal. ALOFISEL is approved in the European Union (EU), Israel, Switzerland, Serbia, United Kingdom and Japan based on positive data from the previously completed ADMIRE-CD study.

ADZYNMA / Generic name: apadamtase alfa/cinaxadamtase alfa (recombinant) (Development code: TAK-755)

  • In June 2023, Takeda presented favorable interim results from a global pivotal Phase 3 randomized, controlled, open-label, crossover trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of TAK-755 replacement therapy for the prophylactic treatment of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (cTTP), and pharmacokinetics (PK) characteristics of TAK-755, as well as long-term data on TAK-755 prophylaxis from a Phase 3b continuation study at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) 2023 Congress. In the pivotal trial, no patient had an acute TTP event while receiving TAK-755 prophylactic treatment. TAK-755 also reduced the incidence of thrombocytopenia by 60%, as compared to plasma-based therapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.3- 0.7). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported in 10.3% of patients ages 12-68 receiving TAK-755 compared to 50% of patients receiving plasma-based therapy, demonstrating a favorable safety and tolerability profile with a potential safety advantage over plasma-based therapies. PK characteristics of ADAMTS13 after a single infusion (0-168 hours) were evaluated and compared to plasma- based therapy in 36 cTTP patients aged 12 and older. Patients receiving TAK-755 achieved a five-fold increase in their ADAMTS13 activity levels compared to those receiving plasma-based therapy (Cmax 100% activity for TAK-755 vs. 19% activity for plasma-based therapy) and lower variability (23.8% vs. 56% coefficient of variation [CV], respectively). Also, the results of an interim analysis of the Phase 3b continuation study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of long-termTAK-755 prophylaxis in 29 patients with cTTP, demonstrated a consistently favorable safety profile with TAK-755 prophylaxis and no development of neutralizing antibodies. Zero acute TTP events occurred during TAK-755 prophylaxis, and the incidence rates of subacute TTP events and TTP manifestations were comparable to those with TAK-755 prophylaxis in the pivotal study.

Table of Contents

  • In November 2023, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ADZYNMA for the prophylactic and on-demand treatment of adult and pediatric patients with cTTP. The FDA previously granted Fast Track Designation, Orphan Drug Designation, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in cTTP, as well as Priority Review for ADZYNMA's Biologic License Application (BLA). The FDA granted the company a Rare Pediatric Disease Voucher for the approval of ADZYNMA. The FDA approval of ADZYNMA was supported by the totality of the evidence provided by the analysis of efficacy, pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability data from the first randomized, controlled, open-label, crossover Phase 3 trial in cTTP as well as by data from the continuation trial. ADZYNMA is the first and only FDA- approved recombinant ADAMTS13 (rADAMTS13) designed to address an unmet medical need in people with cTTP by replacing the deficient ADAMTS13 enzyme.
  • In March 2024, Takeda announced that that the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved the use of ADZYNMA for the treatment of cTTP for individuals 12 years of age and older. The approval is supported by the totality of the evidence provided from an interim analysis of efficacy, pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability data from the first randomized, controlled, open-label, crossover Phase 3 trial (281102) in cTTP patients primarily in ages 12-68, which includes five Japanese patients and supported by long-term safety and efficacy data from a continuation study (TAK-755-3002).

EOHILIA / Generic name: budesonide (Development code: TAK-721)

  • In February 2024, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved EOHILIA (budesonide oral suspension) for 12 weeks of treatment in people 11 years and older with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The FDA approval of EOHILIA 2 mg twice daily is based on efficacy and safety data from two multicenter, randomized, double- blind, parallel-group,placebo-controlled12-week studies (Study 1 and Study 2) in patients (ages 11 to 56 and 11 to 42, respectively) with EoE.

Development Code: TAK-279 / Generic name: zasocitinib

  • In November 2023, Takeda presented positive results from its randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled, Phase 2b trial evaluating zasocitinib in patients with active psoriatic arthritis during a late-breaking session at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2023. The study met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant proportion of patients, 53.3% (15 mg) and 54.2% (30 mg), treated once-daily with zasocitinib achieving at least an American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR 20) response compared to 29.2% in the placebo arm at week 12 (p = 0.002). zasocitinib demonstrated improvements in key secondary endpoints and the safety and tolerability profile in the trial was consistent with that observed in the Phase 2b plaque psoriasis clinical study. Based on the Phase 2b results, Takeda intends to initiate a Phase 3 development program of zasocitinib in psoriatic arthritis. Takeda also initiated a Phase 3 development program of zasocitinib in plaque psoriasis in Q3 FY2023 and plans to evaluate zasocitinib in Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and additional immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Development code: TAK-079 / Generic name: mezagitamab

  • In March 2024, Takeda announced positive topline results from a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of mezagitamab in patients with persistent or chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The Phase 2 trial (TAK-079-1004) evaluated three different doses of subcutaneous mezagitamab vs placebo, given once weekly for eight weeks in patients with chronic (more than one year in duration) or persistent (3-12 months in duration) primary ITP. An interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 2 study demonstrated positive safety and efficacy results. Mezagitamab has been generally safe and well tolerated across all three cohorts. All mezagitamab doses tested demonstrated a higher platelet response rate than placebo. The increases in platelet count were dose-dependent with the greatest platelet response observed at the highest dose tested. Platelet response in mezagitamab treated patients occurred rapidly and was maintained post-therapy. Based on these positive results, and following consultation with global health authorities, Takeda plans to initiate a global Phase 3 trial of mezagitamab in ITP in fiscal year 2024. Mezagitamab previously received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of ITP from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the program received Fast Track Designation.

Neuroscience

In Neuroscience, Takeda is focusing its R&D investments on potentially transformative treatments for neurological and neuromuscular diseases of high unmet need and building its pipeline through a combination of in-house expertise and partnerships. By harnessing advances in disease biology understanding, translational tools, and innovative modalities, Takeda is primarily focusing on rare neurology, in particular, on potential investigative therapies for sleep-wake disorders such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia with a franchise of orexin-2 receptor agonists (TAK-861, danavorexton (TAK-925),

Table of Contents

etc.), and rare epilepsies with soticlestat (TAK-935). Additionally, Takeda makes targeted investments to investigate well- defined segments of neuromuscular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and movement disorders.

Development Code: TAK-861

  • In February 2024, Takeda announced positive topline results from a randomized, double-blind,placebo-controlled, multiple dose Phase 2b trial evaluating TAK-861 in patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1). Two separate Phase 2b studies were conducted in NT1 and narcolepsy type 2 (NT2). The NT1 trial (TAK-861-2001) evaluating TAK-861 in 112 patients demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in objective and subjective measures of wakefulness compared to placebo at week 8 including on the primary endpoint Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) (p < 0.001). Improvements in key secondary endpoints including Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Weekly Cataplexy Rate (WCR) were statistically significant and clinically meaningful, consistent with the primary endpoint. The majority of patients who completed the trial entered a long-term extension study. Based on these results, and in consultation with global health authorities, Takeda plans to initiate global Phase 3 trials of TAK-861 in NT1 rapidly in the first half of its fiscal year 2024. At this time, Takeda does not plan to advance TAK-861 in NT2. TAK-861 was generally safe and well tolerated in both NT1 and NT2 trials. No treatment related serious adverse events were reported. In addition, no cases of hepatotoxicity or visual disturbances were reported in the Phase 2b trials or in the ongoing TAK-861long-term extension trial. Results from both trials will be presented at an upcoming scientific congress.

CABOMETYX / Generic name: cabozantinib

  • In January 2024, Takeda announced that the detailed results from CONTACT-02, a phase 3 pivotal study led by Exelixis, evaluating CABOMETYX in combination with atezolizumab compared with a second novel hormonal therapy (NHT) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and measurable extra-pelvic soft tissue disease who have progressed on one prior NHT were presented during Oral Abstract Session at the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2024 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU). For the primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), at a median follow-up of 14.3 months for the PFS ITT (intent-to-treat) population (n=400), the hazard ratio (HR) was 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50-0.84; p=0.0007); the median PFS (mPFS) was 6.3 months for CABOMETYX in combination with atezolizumab compared with 4.2 months for NHT. This was nearly identical to the PFS for the ITT population (n=507): HR was 0.64 (95% CI: 0.50-0.81, p=0.0002). At a median follow-up of 12.0 months for the ITT population, the median overall survival (OS), the other primary endpoint, was 16.7 months for CABOMETYX in combination with atezolizumab compared with 14.6 months for second NHT (HR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.58-1.07; p=0.13), showing a trend toward OS improvement. The safety profiles of CABOMETYX and atezolizumab observed in this trial were consistent with their known safety profiles as monotherapies, and no new safety concerns were identified with the combination regimen.

ADCETRIS / Generic name: brentuximab vedotin

  • In October 2023, Takeda announced that the European Commission (EC) approved ADCETRIS in combination with doxorubicin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (AVD) to treat adult patients with previously untreated CD30+ Stage III Hodgkin lymphoma. The decision follows a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in September, 2023. The approval is based on the results of the randomized Phase 3 ECHELON-1 trial designed to compare ADCETRIS plus AVD to doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) as a therapy in adult patients with previously untreated Stage III or IV Hodgkin lymphoma. The trial met its primary endpoint of modified progression-free survival (PFS), as well as its key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS), demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in OS in adult patients with previously untreated Stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma treated with ADCETRIS+AVD. The safety profile of ADCETRIS was consistent with previous studies, and no new safety signals were observed.
  • In November 2023, Takeda announced that it received an approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for a partial change in approved items of the manufacturing and marketing approval of ADCETRIS with

the new indication of relapsed or refractory CD30-positive cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). The approval is based on the results of the Phase 3 ALCANZA trial conducted outside of Japan as well as the Japanese Phase 2 investigator-initiatedSGN-35-OU trial in patients with relapsed or refractory CD30-positive CTCL.

NINLARO / Generic name: ixazomib

  • In September 2023, Takeda announced that it submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for NINLARO capsules 0.5 mg as an additional dosage form of NINLARO (Capsules 2.3 mg/3 mg/4 mg). Aiming to achieve more appropriate dose adjustment in maintenance therapy for patients with multiple myeloma, Takeda filed this application to provide patients with a new treatment option (1.5 mg dose (0.5 mg/ capsule x 3)) using a low-dose formulation of NINLARO.

EXKIVITY / Generic name: mobocertinib

  • In October 2023, Takeda announced that, following discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it will be working with the FDA towards a voluntary withdrawal of EXKIVITY in the U.S. for adult patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon20 insertion mutation-positive (insertion+) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Takeda intends to similarly initiate voluntary withdrawal globally where EXKIVITY is approved and is working with regulators in other countries where it is currently available on next steps. This decision was based on the outcome of the Phase 3 EXCLAIM-2 confirmatory trial, which did not meet its primary endpoint and thus did not fulfill the confirmatory data requirements of the accelerated approval granted by the U.S. FDA nor the conditional marketing approvals granted in other countries. The EXCLAIM-2 trial was a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label study designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of EXKIVITY as a monotherapy versus platinum-based chemotherapy in first-line EGFR exon20 insertion+ locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. No new safety signals were observed in the EXCLAIM-2 trial. Full data from the trial will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting or published in a peer-reviewed journal.

FRUZAQLA / Generic name: fruquintinib

  • In June 2023, Takeda and HUTCHMED (China) Limited announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated and accepted for regulatory review the marketing authorization application (MAA) for fruquintinib for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). If approved, fruquintinib will be the first and only highly selective and potent inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFR) -1,-2 and -3 approved in the European Union (EU) for previously treated mCRC. The MAA for fruquintinib includes results from the global Phase 3 FRESCO-2 clinical trial along with data from the Phase 3 FRESCO clinical trial. In April 2024,Takeda announced that the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) recommended the approval of fruquintinib for the treatment of adult patients with previously treated mCRC.
  • In June 2023, Takeda and HUTCHMED (China) Limited announced that results of the Phase 3 FRESCO-2 study evaluating fruquintinib in patients with previously treated mCRC were published in The Lancet. FRESCO-2 is a global Phase 3 clinical trial (MRCT) conducted in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia investigating fruquintinib plus best supportive care (BSC) vs placebo plus BSC in patients with previously treated mCRC. The FRESCO-2 study met its primary and key secondary endpoints, demonstrating that treatment with fruquintinib resulted in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), respectively. The safety profile of fruquintinib in FRESCO-2 was consistent with previously reported fruquintinib studies.
  • In September 2023, Takeda announced that it submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for fruquintinib for the treatment of previously treated mCRC. The NDA for fruquintinib is based on the global Phase 3 FRESCO-2 clinical trial and the Phase 3 FRESCO clinical trial.
  • In November 2023, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved FRUZAQLA for adults with mCRC who have been previously treated with fluoropyrimidine-,oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy, an anti-VEGF therapy, and, if RAS wild-type and medically appropriate, an anti-EGFR therapy. FRUZAQLA is the first and only selective inhibitor of all three VEGF receptor kinases approved in the U.S. for previously treated mCRC regardless of biomarker status. The approval of FRUZAQLA is based on data from two large Phase 3 trials: the global FRESCO-2 clinical trial along with the FRESCO clinical trial conducted in China.

ICLUSIG / Generic name: ponatinib

  • In March 2024, Takeda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for ICLUSIG for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) in combination with chemotherapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative complete remission (CR) at the
