TAK-438 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the prevention of recurrent gastric or duodenal ulcers during NSAID therapy and for the treatment of non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease (NERD). It has been evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials in Japan.
TAK-438 is being developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. The company has sponsored multiple clinical trials of the drug, primarily in Japan.
TAK-438 has completed Phase 3 clinical trials. Four trials have been completed, with no active trials currently ongoing. The drug remains investigational and has not been reported as approved.
TAK-438 has been studied in four completed Phase 3 trials, including NCT01452750 for prevention of recurrent gastric or duodenal ulcers during NSAID therapy, NCT01456260 as a long-term extension study, and NCT01474369 and NCT02954848 for treatment of non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease.
TAK-438 is the development code for the drug also known as vonoprazan. It is a potassium-competitive acid blocker being studied for acid-related gastrointestinal conditions.
