Frequently asked questions about TAK-715 and methotrexate

What is TAK-715 and methotrexate used for?

TAK-715 and methotrexate is an investigational combination being studied for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic inflammatory joint disease. TAK-715 is a small molecule developed by Takeda, and methotrexate is an established arthritis therapy used alongside it in this Phase 2 program.

What does TAK-715 target?

TAK-715 targets MAPK14, also known as p38 alpha, a kinase involved in inflammatory signaling. It acts as an inhibitor of this target. By blocking MAPK14, the drug is designed to dampen the inflammatory pathways that drive rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.

Who is developing TAK-715 and methotrexate?

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited is developing TAK-715 and methotrexate. Takeda trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TAK. The company sponsored the Phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis study evaluating the combination.

What phase is TAK-715 and methotrexate in?

TAK-715 and methotrexate is in Phase 2 development. The program has completed one Phase 2 clinical trial in rheumatoid arthritis. It is an investigational combination and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication.

What clinical trials is TAK-715 and methotrexate in?

TAK-715 and methotrexate was evaluated in the Phase 2 trial NCT00760864, titled Safety and Efficacy of TAK-715 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis. The trial enrolled 432 adults, was randomized, double blind, and active controlled, and its status is completed.
