Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) Total Score at Week 6
Baseline and Week 6

PANSS assesses the positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and general psychopathology specifically associated with schizophrenia. The scale consists of 30 items. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (symptom not present) to 7 (symptoms extremely severe). The sum of the 30 items is defined as the PANSS total score and ranges from 30 to 210; higher score indicates greater severity. Least square mean and standard error values were determined using a mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Ketamine-Induced Brain Activity in Regions of Interest During Resting State
Day 1: 4 hours post TAK-063 dose or placebo

Ketamine model was used to enhance the sensitivity to detect an effect of phosphodiesterase 10a (PDE10a) inhibition by TAK-063 by ketamine using neuroimaging battery tests. Ketamine induced robust blood oxygen level-dependent(BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) response while maintaining minimal accompanying psychotomimetic symptoms. The regions of interest include:left anterior cingulate cortex,right anterior cingulate cortex,left posterior cingulate cortex,right posterior cingulate cortex,left striatum,right striatum,left amygdala,right amygdala,left substantia nigra,right substantia nigra,left thalamus,right thalamus,left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex,right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex,left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,left hippocampus,right hippocampus,left subgenual cingulate/Ba25,right subgenual cingulate/Ba25,left paracingulate gyrus/Ba32, and right paracingulate gyrus/Ba32.

Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least One Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) After 7 Days of Dosing
Day 1 to Day 14

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Safety Laboratory Tests
Day 1 to Day 8

The percentage of participants with any markedly abnormal standard safety laboratory values, including hematology, serum chemistries, and urinalysis, during the treatment period.

Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Vital Sign Measurements
Day 1 to Day 8

The percentage of participants who meet markedly abnormal criteria for vital signs, including oral body temperature, respiration rate, pulse, and resting blood pressure and after standing

Percentage of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values of 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters
Day 1 to Day 8

The percentage of participants who meet markedly abnormal criteria specified by the protocol and statistical analysis plan during the treatment period.

What is TAK-063?

TAK-063 is an investigational small molecule developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited for psychiatric conditions. It has been studied in schizophrenia and in ketamine-induced brain activity changes with psychotic-like symptoms. TAK-063 is not approved and remains in clinical development, with completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials.

What is TAK-063 used for in schizophrenia?

TAK-063 was studied as a treatment for schizophrenia, including an acute exacerbation of the condition. A completed Phase 2 trial, NCT02477020, evaluated efficacy and safety in 164 participants with acute schizophrenia in the United States. TAK-063 is investigational and has not been approved for schizophrenia or any other indication.

Who makes TAK-063?

TAK-063 is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda sponsored the clinical program evaluating the compound in schizophrenia and in ketamine-induced brain activity changes. The drug remains an investigational asset within Takeda's psychiatry pipeline.

What phase is TAK-063 in?

TAK-063 is in Phase 1 development, with completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies in its clinical program. The Phase 2 trial NCT02477020 tested TAK-063 in acute schizophrenia, while Phase 1 trials NCT01892189 and NCT01879722 evaluated ketamine-induced brain activity changes and multiple rising doses. TAK-063 is investigational and not approved.

What clinical trials is TAK-063 in?

TAK-063 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT02477020, a Phase 2 study in 164 participants with acute schizophrenia, NCT01892189, a Phase 1 study in 27 healthy male adults examining ketamine-induced brain activity changes, and NCT01879722, a Phase 1 multiple rising dose study in 77 participants.
