Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
Up to approximately 108 weeks

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention, whether or not the occurrence is considered related to the trial intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with start dates at the time of or following the first exposure to mezagitamab in the parent trial for Cohort 1 and in this trial for Cohort 2. A serious TEAE is a TEAE that meets 1 or more of the criteria: results in death, is life threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important.

Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to Permanent Withdrawal of Mezagitamab
Up to approximately 108 weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial participant, temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention, whether or not the occurrence is considered related to the trial intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention. TEAEs are defined as AEs with start dates at the time of or following the first exposure to mezagitamab in the parent trial for Cohort 1 and in this trial for Cohort 2.

Frequently asked questions about TAK-079

What is TAK-079?

TAK-079 is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. It is under study for several immunology and oncology indications, including autoimmune disease, multiple myeloma, myasthenia gravis, primary immune thrombocytopenia, and systemic lupus erythematosus. It remains in clinical development and is not an approved therapy.

What is TAK-079 used for?

TAK-079 is being studied for primary immune thrombocytopenia, generalized myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. These are investigational uses only. The clinical program has evaluated the antibody across autoimmune and plasma cell driven conditions, and no approved indication has been established for TAK-079.

Who makes TAK-079?

TAK-079 is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda is the sponsor of the clinical program studying the monoclonal antibody across immunology and multiple myeloma indications.
