ALT and/or AST >1.5× the upper limits of normal (ULN).
18.
The subject who, in the opinion of the investigator or sub-investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or

Criteria for Evaluation and Analyses:
Primary endpoints
PK: Plasma concentrations and PK parameters of unchanged TAK-536 (Cmax, tmax, AUClast, AUC∞, t1/2z, MRT, λz, 
CL/F, and Vz/F).
Secondary endpoints
Safety: Adverse events (AEs), vital signs (sitting blood pressure, sitting pulse rate and body temperature), weight, 
laboratory test results (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), and resting 12-lead ECGs.
Statistical Considerations:
PK:
The following statistical analyses will be performed on the PK analysis set:
For plasma concentration of unchanged TAK-536, descriptive statistics will be provided by time point for each 
treatment condition (fed and fasted condition). In addition, the plasma concentration-time profiles will be provided 
with both conditions on the same graph.
For PK parameters, descriptive statistics will be provided by each treatment condition.
The difference in the least square means between treatment conditions (fed - fasted) and the two-sided 90% confidence 
interval (CI) will be provided using a crossover analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. The ANOVA model will 
include log-transformed (natural log) PK parameters other than tmax as dependent variable, and treatment condition, 
group, and period as independent variables. For non-natural log transformed tmax, same analyses will be performed.
Safety:
The following statistical analyses will be performed on the safety analysis set:
A treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an event whose date of onset occurs on or after the start of 
study drug administration.
The frequency distribution will be provided for all TEAEs, drug-related TEAEs, intensity of all TEAEs, intensity of 
drug-related TEAEs, TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation and serious TEAEs by treatment condition. TEAEs 
will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) dictionary. The frequency 
distribution will be provided using the system organ class and the preferred term for each treatment condition.
For continuous variables of clinical laboratory tests and other safety measurements, the observed values and the 
changes from baseline will be summarized by treatment condition for each time point using descriptive statistics. Case 
plots for the observed values will also be provided for each treatment condition. For categorical variables, shift tables 
showing the number of subjects in each category at baseline and each post-baseline visit will be provided for each 
treatment condition.
Sample Size Justification:
A total of 12 subjects, with 6 subjects in each sequence were considered the sufficient sample size to evaluate the PK
and safety of TAK-536. The sample size is not based on statistical consideration.

INTRODUCTION
4.1
Background
Hypertension develops not only in adults, but also in children and adolescents. While there are few 
epidemiological reports about the number of pediatric patients with hypertension in Japan, it is
reported that hypertension is detected in 0.1% to 1% among elementary-school and
junior-high-school students and in about 3% among high-school students in health checkups for
Japanese children [1][2]. According to the 2013 Population Estimates, the number is estimated to
be 11 million in elementary-school and junior-high-school students (6 to 15 years) and 3.6 million
in high-school students (16 to 18 years) [3]. Therefore, based on the morbidity rate of hypertension
in health checkups above, the number of pediatric patients with hypertension is estimated to be 100
to 200 thousand (10 to 110 thousand in elementary-school and junior-high-school students and 110
thousand in high-school students).
Pediatric hypertension is classified into essential hypertension and secondary hypertension as
described for adults. Although essential hypertension in children is generally mild, such patients
are at a high risk of cardiovascular disease including left ventricular hypertrophy and carotid
intima-media wall thickening as well as organ damage, eg, renal dysfunction [4][5]. Furthermore,
essential hypertension in children can highly track into adult essential hypertension with patients’ 
growth [6]. The possibility of secondary hypertension, in contrast, increases with a younger age 
and the majority cases are severe. Hypertension caused by renal diseases (renal hypertension) 
accounts for 60% to 80% of children with secondary hypertension, and chronic renal failure 
requires particular attention. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent deterioration of renal function 
and progression of organ damage.
Moreover, hypertension persisting from childhood is likely to cause cardiovascular diseases and
organ damage including renal dysfunction, thereby markedly affecting the patient’s quality of life
(QOL) and prognosis not only in childhood but also in future. Therefore, it is highly important to
manage blood pressure in the early stage.
The Japanese Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension 2014
(JSH2014) [7] recommends that drug therapy should be considered after non-pharmacological
interventions (dietary and exercise therapy) are primarily performed since essential hypertension
in children is often mild. For patients with secondary hypertension and patients with target organ
damage, diabetes mellitus, or chronic kidney disease (CKD), drug therapy is highly recommended
to prevent the development and progression of organ damage.
JSH2014 [7] and the Guidelines for Drug Therapy in Pediatric Patients with Cardiovascular
Diseases by the Japanese Circulation Society 2012 [8] recommend ARBs, angiotensin converting 
enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers as first-choice drugs for pediatric patients. 
In particular, more strict blood pressure management is recommended for essential hypertension 
with CKD or diabetes mellitus than that for hypertension without complications. Hypertension 
with such complications is recommended to be treated with ARBs having antiproteinuric effects 
and inhibitory effects of CKD progression in addition to ACE inhibitors.

While a number of antihypertensive drugs for adults are available in Japan, only 4 drugs are
indicated for hypertension in children, valsartan being the only ARB among them. Only one drug
among ACE inhibitors is indicated for patients younger than 6 years old. Furthermore, none of the
approved drugs have formulations designed for pediatric patients. Therefore, treatment options for
pediatric patients with hypertension are not sufficient.
TAK-536 (azilsartan) is a novel ARB produced by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited
(TPC) and was approved for the treatment of adult hypertension under the product name of Azilva
tablets 20 mg and 40 mg in January 2012. A supplementary new drug application was filed for the
additional registration of Azilva tablet 10 mg, which was approved in March 2014. TAK-536 is
superior to the existing ARBs (candesartan) in antihypertensive effect and the persistence, while
being safe and well tolerated. It is now widely used by adult patients with hypertension.
Thus, to resolve the unmet needs in the present treatment of pediatric hypertension, it is important
to develop pediatric formulations of TAK-536, whose clinical usefulness for adult patients with
hypertension is established, and to provide them for pediatric patients.
4.2
Rationale for the Proposed Study
Clinical Pharmacokinetic Studies of Pharmaceuticals [9] specifies that the effects of food on 
gastrointestinal absorption should be evaluated since absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is 
likely to be affected by food in the case of study drugs that are administered orally. Therefore, this 
study was designed to evaluate the food effect on the pharmacokinetics and safety of TAK-536
after administration of the TAK-536 pediatric formulation.
This protocol has been prepared in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
4.3
Benefit/Risk Profile
There will be no benefit to subjects in this study other than receiving physical examinations and
obtaining information about their general health. Instead, patients with pediatric hypertension may 
benefit in the future from what can be learned in this study.
Although subjects who participate in this study will have risks of adverse events and others
associated with administration of the study drug, they will be informed about possible risk with the 
informed consent form before participation of this study, and are free to withdraw from the study 
at any time without giving a reason (Section 13.2).
Clinical safety information is provided in clinical results in adults and package insert. For further 
information on TAK-536, please refer to the Investigator’s Brochure.

TRIAL DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION
6.1
Trial Design
This is an open-label, 2×2 crossover study to assess the food effect on the PK and safety of a single 
oral dose of TAK-536 pediatric formulation in Japanese healthy adult male subjects under fasted 
or fed condition in the morning.
The dosage, treatment condition, and number of subjects are shown in Table 6.a. Each subject will 
receive the study drug under one of the following treatment conditions in each period.
1. One sachet of TAK-536 10 mg granules (TAK-536 10 mg) will be administered orally with 
200 mL of water in the morning under fasted condition (fasted overnight for at least 10 hours 
prior to study drug administration).
2. One sachet of TAK-536 10 mg granules (TAK-536 10 mg) will be administered orally with 
200 mL of water in the morning under fed condition (at 30 minutes after starting breakfast).

Subjects will be screened for enrollment from 4 weeks (28 days) to 2 days (the day before
admission) before the study drug administration (Day -28 to Day -2) in Period 1. Subjects will be 
admitted to the study site on the day before the study drug administration (Day -1) in both Periods 
1 and 2, and will be hospitalized under medical supervision for 4 days (until 48 hours after the 
study drug administration). They will undergo daily examinations and observations from the day 
before the study drug administration (Day -1) during their hospitalization according to the study 
schedule specified in Section 3.0, and will be discharged from the study site on Day 3 after
confirmation of safety by the investigator or sub-investigator. Subjects will return to the study site 
for follow-up examinations on Day 6. At least 6-day washout interval will be placed between the 
study drug administrations in Periods 1 and 2.
Subjects will visit the study site 5 times, including the visit for screening examinations, in this 
study. They will be hospitalized for a total of 8 days in Periods 1 and 2 (refer to Section 2.0 for a 
schematic of the study design).
The examinations scheduled on the day before the study drug administration (Day -1) in Period 2 
can be replaced with the follow-up examinations (Day 6) in Period 1, if they are scheduled on the 
same day. If this is the case, the subject will visit the study site 4 times in this study.

6.2
Rationale for Trial Design, Dose, and Endpoints
6.2.1
Rationale of Trial Design
In accordance with Clinical Pharmacokinetic Studies of Pharmaceuticals [9], a 2-period,
2-treatment, crossover design, which allows food effect evaluation on PK and safety with minimal 
effect on inter-subject variation, was selected for this study.
6.2.2
Rationale for Dose
TAK-536 pediatric formulation, 1% film-coated granules, is being developed for pediatric patients
younger than 6 years old who have a difficulty in swallowing tablets. Generally, maximum amount 
of the pediatric granule formulation which pediatric patients can take orally at one time is 
estimated to be 1 g, equivalent to 10 mg of TAK-536 based on 1% concentration of TAK-536. It is 
assumed that many patients will take 10 mg of TAK-536 at a maximum. Guidance for Industry 
Food-Effect Bioavailability and Fed Bioequivalence Studies by FDA[10] recommends to 
investigate the food effect with an estimated maximum dose. Considering the above, 10 mg is 
selected as the dose of this study.
6.2.3
Rationale for Study Population
The study population will be healthy adult males in accordance with the Guidance on Clinical
Investigation of Medicinal Products in the Pediatric Population [11] and Clinical Pharmacokinetic 
Studies of Pharmaceuticals [9].
6.2.4
Rationale for Washout Period
When a single oral dose of TAK-536 10 mg was administered under fasted condition to Japanese 
healthy adult subjects, plasma concentration of unchanged TAK-536 was 9 ng/mL at 72 hours 
after the administration in the subject with the highest plasma TAK-536 level. It was assumed that 
the plasma unchanged TAK-536 level would be below the lower limit of quantification 
(<1 ng/mL) at 6 days (3 days after the time point of Cmax) after the administration based on the 
half-life of TAK-536 (about 13 hours). The Japanese Guideline for Bioequivalence Studies of 
Generic Products [12] recommends that there should be a washout period at least 5 times longer 
than the apparent half-life of the investigational drug between the two treatments to be compared 
within subjects. Thus, the washout period in this study was set as 6 days (144 hours), which is 
more than 5 times longer than the apparent elimination half-life of TAK-536.
6.2.5
Rationale for Endpoints
6.2.5.1
Rationale for Pharmacokinetic Endpoints
The plasma concentration of unchanged TAK-536 will be evaluated to determine the food effect
on PK after the administration of TAK-536. The plasma concentration will be evaluated until 48 
hours postdose for TAK-536, the time point when its AUClast is expected to be over 80% of its
AUC∞.

6.2.5.2
Rationale for Safety Endpoints
AEs, vital signs, resting 12-lead ECGs, weight and laboratory test results are set as standard 
endpoints used for assessing safety in clinical pharmacology studies.
6.2.6
Critical Procedures Based on Trial Objectives: Timing of Procedures
For this study, the collection of blood samples for TAK-536 PK is the critical procedure since PK 
is set as the primary endpoint. The examination regarding safety is also the critical procedure since 
safety is set as the secondary endpoint. Critical procedures are listed below:

At any postdose time point, the blood samples for TAK-536 PK need to be collected as close to 
the nominal time point as possible.

The other procedures should be completed as close to the nominal time as possible, either 
before or after these nominal times.

When ECG and/or vital signs measurements are scheduled at the same time as PK sampling,
the blood draw will take priority and ECG and/or vital signs will be obtained within an
acceptable time window (see Appendix B).

The order of priority can be changed during the study with joint agreement of the investigator
and the Sponsor.

Any unscheduled procedures required for the urgent evaluation of safety concerns, regardless 
of the content of procedures, will take precedence over all routine scheduled procedures.
6.3
Trial Beginning and End/Completion

STUDY PROCEDURES
The following sections describe the study procedures and data to be collected by the investigator or
sub-investigator. For each procedure, subjects are to be assessed by the same investigator,
sub-investigator or site personnel whenever possible. The Schedule of Study Procedures is located
in Section 3.0.
9.1
Administrative Procedures
9.1.1
Informed Consent Procedure
The requirements of the informed consent are described in Section 13.2.
Informed consent must be obtained prior to the subject entering into the study, and before any 
protocol-directed procedures are performed.
9.1.1.1
Assignment of Subject Identification Numbers
A unique subject identification number will be assigned to each subject at the time that informed
consent is explained; this subject number will be used throughout the study.
9.1.1.2
Study Drug Assignment
The study is conducted in an open label manner.
Subjects will be assigned to each sequence, in the order in which they are randomized into the 
study, to receive their treatment according to the randomization code.
Subjects will be assigned to receive a 4-digit enrollment number. This 4-digit number will be used 
by the study site to facilitate the prelabeling of PK samples and will be a subject identifier used on 
all PK sample collections. It should also be contained on the PK transport tubes shipped to the 
bioanalytical laboratory, and will be used by the laboratory to report the subject data results. This 
4-digit number does not replace the 3-digit subject identification number. In case it becomes 
necessary to replace a subject before the study drug administration in Period 1 after randomization, 
the reserve subject will replace the initial subject and receive the study drug scheduled for the 
initial subject.
9.1.2
Inclusion and Exclusion
For the eligibility, each subject will be assessed in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion 
criteria described in Section 7.0.
9.1.3
Medical History/Demography
Demographic information to be obtained will include date of birth, sex, caffeine consumption, 
alcohol use and smoking classification of the subject.
Medical history to be obtained will include determining whether the subject has any significant 
conditions or diseases relevant to the disease under this study that resolved within 1 year prior to 

TAK-536

signing of informed consent. Ongoing conditions or diseases are considered concurrent medical 
conditions.
Medication history information to be obtained includes any medication relevant to the eligibility 
criteria, stopped within 4 weeks (28 days) prior to signing of informed consent.
9.1.4
Concomitant Medications
Concomitant medication is any drug given in addition to the study drug. These may be prescribed 
by a physician or obtained by the subject over the counter. Concomitant medication is not provided 
by the Sponsor. At each study visit, subjects will be asked whether they have taken any medication 
other than the study drug used from signing of informed consent through the end of the study, and 
all medications including vitamin supplements, OTC medications, and Chinese herbal medicines, 
must be recorded in the eCRF. Documentation will include generic medication name, route of 
administration, start and end dates, and reason for use.
9.2
Clinical Procedures and Assessments
9.2.1
Full Physical Exam
Physical examination will consist of the following body systems: (1) eyes; (2) ears, nose, throat; 
(3) cardiovascular system; (4) respiratory system; (5) gastrointestinal system; (6) dermatologic 
system; (7) extremities; (8) musculoskeletal system; (9) nervous system; (10) lymph nodes; (11) 
other.
9.2.2
Height and Weight
A subject should have weight and height measured with shoes off. Height is recorded in 
centimeters (cm) without decimal places by rounding. Weight is collected in kilograms (kg) with 1 
decimal place.
9.2.3
BMI
BMI is calculated using the formula provided below.
BMI = weight (kg)/height (m)2
BMI should be reported to 1 decimal place by rounding. The inclusion criterion for BMI will be 
assessed based on a rounded value.
9.2.4
Vital Signs
Vital signs will include sitting systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (resting more 
than 5 minutes) (mmHg), sitting pulse rate (beats per minute), and body temperature (axillary) 
(°C).
When vital signs are scheduled at the same time as blood draws, the blood draw will take priority 
and vital signs will be obtained within an acceptable time window (see Appendix B).

12-Lead ECG
A resting 12-lead ECG will be recorded. The investigator or sub-investigator (or a qualified 
physician at the study site) will interpret the ECG findings using one of the following categories: 
within normal or abnormal. In the case that the ECG findings are abnormal, the investigator or 
sub-investigator (or a qualified physician at the study site) will judge if it is clinically significant. 
The following parameters will be recorded on the eCRF from the subject’s ECG trace: heart rate, 
RR interval, PR interval, QT interval, QRS interval, and QTc interval (corrected by the 
Fridericia’s formula).
When 12-lead ECG measurements are scheduled at the same time as blood draws, the blood draw 
will take priority and 12-lead ECGs will be obtained within an acceptable time window (see 
Appendix B).
9.2.6
Study Drug Administration
Each subject will receive TAK-536 pediatric formulation under one of the following treatment
conditions in each period.
1. One sachet of TAK-536 10 mg granules (TAK-536 10 mg) will be administered orally with 
200 mL of water in the morning under fasted condition (fasted overnight for at least 10 hours 
prior to study drug administration).
2. One sachet of TAK-536 10 mg granules (TAK-536 10 mg) will be administered orally with

ADVERSE EVENTS
10.1
Definitions and Elements of AEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject who has 
signed informed consent to participate in a study; it does not necessarily have to have a causal 
relationship with the treatment or study participation.
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study participation, 
whether or not it is considered related to the drug or study procedures.
An untoward finding generally may:

Indicate a new diagnosis or unexpected worsening of a pre-existing condition. (Intermittent 
events for pre-existing conditions or underlying disease should not be considered AEs.)

Necessitate therapeutic intervention.

Require an invasive diagnostic procedure.

Require discontinuation or a change in dose of study drug or a concomitant medication.

Be considered unfavorable by the investigator or sub-investigator for any reason.
Diagnoses versus signs and symptoms:

Each event should be recorded to represent a single diagnosis. Accompanying signs (including 
abnormal laboratory values or ECG findings) or symptoms should NOT be recorded as 
additional AEs. If a diagnosis is unknown, sign(s) or symptom(s) should be recorded 
appropriately as an AE(s).
Laboratory values and ECG findings:

Changes in laboratory values or ECG parameters may be considered AEs if they are judged to 
be clinically significant (ie, if some action or intervention is required or if the investigator or 
sub-investigator judges the change to be beyond the range of normal physiologic fluctuation). 
A laboratory re-test and/or continued monitoring of an abnormal value are not considered an 
intervention. In addition, repeated or additional noninvasive testing for verification, evaluation 
or monitoring of an abnormality is not considered an intervention.

If abnormal laboratory values or ECG findings are the result of pathology for which there is an 
overall diagnosis (eg, increased creatinine in renal failure), the diagnosis only should be 
reported appropriately as an AE.
Pre-existing conditions:

A pre-existing condition (present at the time of signing of informed consent) is considered a 
concurrent medical history condition and should NOT be recorded as an AE. The first 
examination after the informed consent (eg, laboratory test, ECG, X-ray, etc) should NOT be 
recorded as an AE unless related to a study procedure. However, if the subject experiences a 

TAK-536
Study ID Azilsartan-1005
Page 32 of 53
Protocol
08 December 2017
CONFIDENTIAL
worsening or complication of such a concurrent medical history condition, the worsening or 
complication should be recorded appropriately as an AE (worsening or complication occurs 
after informed consent is signed). The investigator or sub-investigator should ensure that the 
event term recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).

If a subject has a pre-existing episodic condition (eg, asthma, epilepsy), any occurrence of an 
episode should only be captured as an AE if the episodes become more frequent, serious, or 
severe in nature. The investigator or sub-investigator should ensure that the AE term recorded 
captures the change from baseline in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).

If a subject has a degenerative concurrent condition (eg, cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis), 
worsening of the condition should only be captured as an AE if occurring to a greater extent to 
that which would be expected. The investigator or sub-investigator should ensure that the AE 
term recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).
Worsening of AEs:

If the subject experiences a worsening or complication of an AE after the first administration of 
study drug or after any change in study drug, the worsening or complication should be 
recorded as a new AE. Investigators or sub-investigators should ensure that the AE term 
recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).
Changes in severity of AEs:

If the subject experiences a change in the severity of an AE that is not associated with a change 
in study drug, the event should be captured once with the maximum severity recorded.
Pre-planned surgeries or procedures:

Pre-planned procedures (surgeries or therapies) that were scheduled prior to the signing of 
informed consent are not considered AEs. However, if a pre-planned procedure is performed 
early (eg, as an emergency) due to a worsening of the pre-existing condition, the worsening of 
the condition should be captured appropriately as an AE. Complications resulting from any 
planned surgery should be reported as AEs.
Elective surgeries or procedures:

Elective procedures (surgeries or therapies) performed where there is no change in the 
subject’s medical condition should not be recorded as AEs but should be documented in the 
subject’s source documents. Complications resulting from an elective surgery should be 
reported as AEs.
Overdose:

An overdose is defined as a known deliberate or accidental administration of study drug, to or 
by a study subject, at a dose above that which is assigned to that individual subject according to 
the study protocol. It is up to the investigator or sub-investigator to decide whether a dose is to 
be considered an overdose, in consultation with the Sponsor.

TAK-536

CONFIDENTIAL

All cases of overdose (with or without associated AEs) will be documented on an Overdose 
page of the eCRF, in order to capture this important safety information consistently in the 
database. AEs associated with an overdose will be documented on an AE page of the eCRF 
according to Section 10.0.

Serious adverse events (SAEs) of overdose should be reported according to the procedure 
outlined in Section 10.2.9.

In the event of drug overdose, the subject should be treated symptomatically.
10.1.1
SAEs
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject who has
signed the informed consent to participate in a study:
1. Results in DEATH.
2. Is LIFE THREATENING.

The term “life threatening” refers to an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the 
time of the event; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have caused death 
if it were more severe.
3. Requires inpatient HOSPITALIZATION or prolongation of existing hospitalization.
4. Results in persistent or significant DISABILITY/INCAPACITY.
5. Results in CONGENITAL ANOMALY/BIRTH DEFECT.
6. Is an IMPORTANT MEDICAL EVENT that satisfies any of the following:

May require intervention to prevent items 1 through 5 above.

May expose the subject to danger, even though the event is not immediately life 
threatening or fatal or does not result in hospitalization.

Includes any event or synonym described in the Takeda Medically Significant AE List 
(Table 10.a).

AE Procedures
10.2.1
Assigning Severity of AEs
The different categories of severity are:
Mild:
An AE that is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or 
therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with usual 
activities of daily living.
Moderate:
An AE that is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic 
intervention. The event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing 
discomfort but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the research 
participant.
Severe:
An AE that interrupts usual activities of daily living, or significantly affects 
clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention.

CONFIDENTIAL
10.2.2
Assigning Causality of AEs
The causality of each AE to the study drug will be assessed using the following categories:
Related:
An AE that follows a reasonable temporal sequence from administration of a 
drug (including the course after withdrawal of the drug), or for which possible 
involvement of the drug is at least a reasonable possibility, ie, the relationship 
cannot be ruled out, although factors other than the drug, such as underlying 
diseases, complications, concomitant drugs and concurrent treatments, may also 
be responsible.
Not Related:
An AE that does not follow a reasonable temporal sequence from administration 
of a drug and/or that can reasonably be explained by other factors, such as 
underlying diseases, complications, concomitant medications and concurrent 
treatments.
10.2.3
Assigning Causality of AEs to Study Procedures
The causality of each AE to study procedures will be assessed.
The causality should be assessed as Related if the investigator or sub-investigator considers that 
there is reasonable possibility that an event is due to a study procedure. Otherwise, the causality 
should be assessed as Not Related.
10.2.4
Start Date
The start date of the AE is the date that the first signs/symptoms were noted by the subject and/or 
investigator or sub-investigator.
10.2.5
End Date
The end date of the AE is the date at which the subject recovered, the event resolved but with 
sequelae or the subject died.
10.2.6
Pattern of Adverse Event (Frequency)
Episodic AEs (eg, headache) or those which occur repeatedly over a period of consecutive days are 
intermittent. All other events are continuous.
10.2.7
Action Taken With Study Treatment

Drug withdrawn – a study drug is stopped due to the particular AE.

Dose not changed – the particular AE did not require stopping a study drug.

Unknown – only to be used if it has not been possible to determine what action has been taken.

Not applicable – a study drug was stopped for a reason other than the particular AE; eg, the 
study has been terminated, the subject died, dosing with study drug was already stopped; or the 
particular AE occurred before starting study drug.

10.2.8
Outcome

Recovered/resolved – subject returned to the first assessment status with respect to the AE.

Recovering/resolving – the intensity is lowered by one or more stages; the diagnosis has or 
signs/symptoms have almost disappeared; the abnormal laboratory value improved, but has 
not returned to the normal range or to the baseline value; the subject died from a cause other 
than the particular AE with the condition remaining “recovering/resolving.”

Not recovered/not resolved – there is no change in the diagnosis, signs or symptoms; the 
intensity of the diagnosis, signs/symptoms or laboratory value on the last day of the observed 
study period has become worse than when it started; is an irreversible congenital anomaly; the 
subject died from another cause with the particular AE state remaining “Not recovered/not 
resolved.”

Recovered/ Resolved with sequelae – the subject recovered from an acute AE but was left with 
permanent/significant impairment (eg, recovered from a cardiovascular accident but with 
some persisting paresis).

Fatal – an AE that is considered as the cause of death.

Unknown – the course of the AE cannot be followed up due to hospital change or residence 
change at the end of the subject’s participation in the study.
10.2.9
Collection and Reporting of AEs, SAEs, and Abnormal LFTs
10.2.9.1 Collection Period
Collection of AEs (ie, AEs, SAEs, and Abnormal LFTs) will commence at the time the subject 
signs the informed consent until the follow-up examination.
10.2.9.2 Reporting AEs
At each study visit, the investigator or sub-investigator will assess whether any subjective AEs 
have occurred. A neutral question, such as “How have you been feeling since your last visit?” may 
be asked. Subjects may report AEs occurring at any other time during the study.
Subjects experiencing an SAE prior to the first exposure to study drug must be monitored until the 
symptoms subside and any clinically relevant changes in laboratory values have returned to 
baseline or there is a satisfactory explanation for the change. Nonserious AEs that begin prior to 
the first exposure to study drug, related or unrelated to the study procedure, need not be 
followed-up for the purposes of the protocol.
All subjects experiencing AEs after the first exposure to study drug, whether considered associated 
with the use of the study drug or not, must be monitored until the symptoms subside and any 
clinically relevant changes in laboratory values have returned to baseline or until there is a 
satisfactory explanation for the changes observed. All AEs will be documented in the AE page of 
the eCRF, whether or not the investigator or sub-investigator concludes that the event is related to 
the drug treatment. The following information will be documented for each event:

10.2.9.3 Reporting SAEs
When an SAE occurs through the AE collection period it should be reported according to the
procedure outlined below:
An SAE should be reported by the investigator or sub-investigator to the Sponsor within 1 
business day of the first onset or notification of the SAE, along with any relevant information. The 
investigator should submit the detailed SAE Form to the Sponsor within 10 calendar days. The 
information should be completed as fully as possible but contain, at a minimum:

A short description of the event and the reason why the event is categorized as serious.

Subject identification number.

Investigator’s or sub-investigator’s name.

Name of the study drug(s).

Causality assessment.
Any SAE spontaneously reported to the investigator or sub-investigator following the AE 
collection period should be reported to the Sponsor if considered related to study participation.
SAE Follow-Up
If the information which is not available at the time of the first report becomes available at a later 
date, the investigator or sub-investigator should complete a follow-up SAE form copy or provide 
the other written documentation and submit it to the Sponsor immediately. Copies of any relevant 
data from the hospital notes (eg, ECGs, laboratory tests, discharge summary, postmortem results) 
should be submit to the Sponsor, if requested.
All SAEs should be followed up until resolution or permanent outcome of the event.

10.2.9.4 Reporting of Abnormal LFTs
If a subject is noted to have ALT or AST >3 ×ULN and total bilirubin >2 ×ULN for which an 
alternative etiology has not been identified after the study drug administration, the event should be 
recorded as an SAE and reported as per Section 10.2.9.3. The investigator or sub-investigator must 
contact the monitor for discussion of the relevant subject details and possible alternative etiologies, 
such as acute viral hepatitis A or B or other acute liver disease or medical history/concurrent 
medical conditions. Follow-up laboratory tests as described in Section 9.2.8 must also be 
performed.
10.2.10 Safety Reporting to Investigators, IRBs, and Regulatory Authorities
The Sponsor will be responsible for reporting all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions 
(SUSARs) and any other applicable SAEs to regulatory authorities, investigators and IRBs and the
head of the study site. Relative to the first awareness of the event by/or further provision to the 
Sponsor or Sponsor’s designee, SUSARs will be submitted within 7 days for fatal and 
life-threatening events and 15 days for other serious events, unless otherwise required by national 
regulations. The Sponsor will also prepare an expedited report for other safety issues where these 
might materially alter the current benefit-risk assessment of the study drug or that would be 
sufficient to consider changes in the study drug administration or in the overall conduct of the trial. 
The study site also will forward a copy of all expedited reports to his or her IRB.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
12.1
Study-Site Monitoring Visits
Monitoring visits to the study site will be made periodically during the study to ensure that all 
aspects of the protocol are followed. Source documents will be reviewed for verification of data 
recorded on the eCRFs. Source documents are defined as original documents, data, and records. 
The investigator and the head of study site guarantee access to source documents by the Sponsor or 
its designee (CRO) and by the IRB.
All aspects of the study and its documentation will be subject to review by the Sponsor or its
designee, including but not limited to the Investigator’s Binder, trial drug, subject medical records, 
informed consent documentation, and review of eCRFs and associated source documents. It is 
important that the investigator, sub-investigator, and other study personnel are available during the 
monitoring visits and that sufficient time is devoted to the process.
12.2
Protocol Deviations
The investigator or sub-investigator can deviate and change from the protocol for any medically
unavoidable reason, for example, to eliminate an immediate hazard to study subjects, without a 
prior written agreement with the Sponsor or a prior approval from IRB. In the event of a deviation
or change, the investigator should notify the Sponsor and the head of the study site of the deviation 
or changes as well as its reason in a written form, and then retain a copy of the written form. When 
necessary, the investigator may consult and agree with the Sponsor on a protocol amendment. If 
the protocol amendment is appropriate, the amendment proposal should be submitted to the head 
of the study site as soon as possible and an approval from IRB should be obtained.
The investigator or sub-investigator should document all protocol deviations.
12.3
Quality Assurance Audits and Regulatory Agency Inspections
The study site also may be subject to quality assurance audits by the Sponsor or designees. In this 
circumstance, the Sponsor-designated auditor will contact the study site in advance to arrange an 
auditing visit. The auditor may ask to visit the facilities where laboratory samples are collected, 
where the medication is stored and prepared, and any other facility used during the study. In 
addition, there is the possibility that this study may be inspected by regulatory agencies, including 
those of foreign governments (eg, the Food and Drug Administration [FDA], the United Kingdom 
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency [MHRA], the Pharmaceuticals and 
Medical Devices Agency of Japan [PMDA]). If the study site is contacted for an inspection by a 
regulatory body, the Sponsor should be notified immediately. The investigator and the head of 
study site guarantee access for quality assurance auditors to all study documents as described in 
Section 12.1.

ETHICAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY
This study will be conducted with the highest respect for the individual participants (ie, subjects) 
according to the protocol, the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, and the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Harmonised Tripartite Guideline 
for GCP. Each investigator will conduct the study according to applicable local or regional 
regulatory requirements and align his or her conduct in accordance with the “Responsibilities of 
the Investigator” that are listed in Appendix A.
13.1
IRB Approval
IRBs must be constituted according to the applicable local requirements of each participating 
region. The Sponsor or designee will require documentation noting all names and titles of 
members who make up the respective IRB. If any member of the IRB has direct participation in 
this study, written notification regarding his or her abstinence from voting must also be obtained.
The Sponsor or designee will supply relevant documents for submission to the respective IRB for 
the protocol’s review and approval. This protocol, the Investigator’s Brochure, a copy of the 
informed consent form, and, if applicable, subject recruitment materials and/or advertisements and 
other documents required by all applicable laws and regulations, must be submitted to a central or 
local IRB for approval. The IRB’s written approval of the protocol and subject informed consent 
must be obtained and submitted to the Sponsor or designee before commencement of the study. 
The IRB approval must refer to the study by exact protocol title, number, and version date; identify 
versions of other documents (eg, the informed consent form) reviewed; and state the approval 
date. The Sponsor will notify study site once the Sponsor has confirmed the adequacy of site 
regulatory documentation and, when applicable, the Sponsor has confirmed the adequacy of study 
site regulatory documentation. Until the study site receives notification, no protocol activities, 
including screening, may occur.
Study sites must adhere to all requirements stipulated by their respective IRB. This may include 
notification to the IRB regarding protocol amendments, updates to the informed consent form, 
recruitment materials intended for viewing by subjects, local safety reporting requirements, 
reports and updates regarding the ongoing review of the study at intervals specified by the 
respective IRB, and submission of the investigator’s final status report to IRB. All IRB approvals 
and relevant documentation for these items must be provided to the Sponsor or its designee.
Subject incentives should not exert undue influence for participation. Payments to subjects must 
be approved by the IRB and Sponsor.
13.2
Subject Information, Informed Consent, and Subject Authorization
Written consent documents will embody the elements of informed consent as described in the 
Declaration of Helsinki and the ICH Guidelines for GCP and will be in accordance with all 
applicable laws and regulations. The informed consent form describes the planned and permitted 
uses, transfers, and disclosures of the subject’s personal and personal health information for 
purposes of conducting the study. The informed consent form further explains the nature of the 
study, its objectives, and potential risks and benefits, as well as the date the informed consent is 

TAK-536
Study ID Azilsartan-1005

given. The informed consent form will detail the requirements of the participant and the fact that 
he is free to withdraw at any time without giving a reason and without prejudice to his further 
medical care.
The investigator is responsible for the preparation, content, and IRB approval of the informed 
consent form. The informed consent form must be approved by both the IRB and the Sponsor prior 
to use.
The informed consent form must be written in a language fully comprehensible to the prospective
subject. It is the responsibility of the investigator or sub-investigator to explain the detailed
elements of the informed consent form to the subject. Information should be given in both oral and
written form whenever possible and in the manner deemed appropriate by the IRB.
The subject must be given ample opportunity to: (1) inquire about details of the study, and (2) 
decide whether or not to participate in the study. If the subject determines he will participate in the 
study, then the informed consent form must be signed and dated by the subject at the time of 
consent and prior to the subject entering into the study. The subject should be instructed to sign 
using their legal names, not nicknames, using blue or black ballpoint ink. The investigator or 
sub-investigator must also sign and date the informed consent form at the time of consent and prior 
to subject entering into the study.
Once signed, the original informed consent form will be stored in the investigator’s site file. The 
investigator or sub-investigator must document the date the subject signs the informed consent in 
the subject’s medical record. Copies of the signed informed consent form shall be given to the 
subject.
All revised informed consent forms must be reviewed and signed by relevant subjects in the same 
manner as the original informed consent. The date the revised consent was obtained should be 
recorded in the subject’s medical record, and the subject should receive a copy of the revised 
informed consent form.
13.3
Subject Confidentiality
The Sponsor and designees affirm and uphold the principle of the subject’s right to protection 
against invasion of privacy. Throughout this study, a subject’s source data will only be linked to 
the Sponsor’s clinical study database or documentation via a unique identification number. As 
permitted by all applicable laws and regulations, limited subject attributes, such as sex, age, or date 
of birth may be used to verify the subject and accuracy of the subject’s unique identification 
number.
To comply with ICH Guidelines for GCP and to verify compliance with this protocol, the Sponsor 
requires the investigator to permit its monitor or designee’s monitor, representatives from any 
regulatory authority (eg, FDA, MHRA, PMDA), the Sponsor’s designated auditors, and the 
appropriate IRBs to review the subject’s original medical records (source data or documents), 
including, but not limited to, laboratory test result reports, ECG reports, admission and discharge 
summaries for hospital admissions occurring during a subject’s study participation, and autopsy 

TAK-536

reports. Access to a subject’s original medical records requires the specific authorization of the 
subject as part of the informed consent process (see Section 13.2).
Copies of any subject source documents that are provided to the Sponsor must have certain 
personally identifiable information removed (ie, subject name, address, and other identifier fields 
not collected on the subject’s eCRF).
13.4
Publication, Disclosure, and Clinical Trial Registration Policy
13.4.1
Publication and Disclosure
The investigator is obliged to provide the Sponsor with complete test results and all data derived 
by the investigator from the study. During and after the study, only the Sponsor may make study 
information available to other study investigators or to regulatory agencies, except as required by 
law or regulation. Except as otherwise allowable in the clinical study site agreement, any public 
disclosure (including publicly accessible websites) related to the protocol or study results is the 
sole responsibility of the Sponsor.
The Sponsor may publish any data and information from the study (including data and information 
generated by the investigator) without the consent of the investigator. The investigator or
sub-investigator needs to obtain a prior written approval from the Sponsor to publish any
information from the study externally such as to a professional association.
13.4.2
Clinical Trial Registration
In order to ensure that information on clinical trials reaches the public in a timely manner and to 
comply with applicable laws, regulations and guidance, Takeda will, at a minimum register all 
interventional clinical trials it sponsors anywhere in the world on ClinicalTrials.gov and/or other 
publicly accessible websites before start of study, as defined in Takeda Policy/Standard. Takeda 
contact information, along with investigator’s city, state (for Americas investigators), country, and 
recruiting status will be registered and available for public viewing.
13.4.3
Clinical Trial Results Disclosure
Takeda will post the results of clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov or other publicly accessible 
websites, as required by Takeda Policy/Standard, applicable laws and/or regulations.
13.5

DATA HANDLING AND RECORDKEEPING
The full details of procedures for data handling will be documented in the Data Management Plan. 
AEs, medical history, and concurrent conditions will be coded using the MedDRA. Drugs will be 
coded using the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary.
15.1
eCRFs
Completed eCRFs are required for each subject who signs an informed consent.
The Sponsor or its designee will supply investigational sites with access to eCRFs. The Sponsor 
will make arrangements to train appropriate site staff in the use of the eCRF. These forms are used 
to transmit the information collected in the performance of this study to the Sponsor and regulatory 
authorities. eCRFs must be completed in English. Data are transcribed directly onto eCRFs.
After completion of the entry process, computer logic checks will be run to identify items, such as 
inconsistent dates, missing data, and questionable values. Queries may be issued by Takeda 
personnel (or designees) and will be answered by the study site.
Corrections are recorded in an audit trail that captures the old information, the new information, 
identification of the person making the correction, the date the correction was made, and the reason 
for change. Reasons for significant corrections should additionally be included.
The investigator must review the eCRFs for completeness and accuracy and must e-sign the 
appropriate eCRFs as indicated. Furthermore, the investigator must retain full responsibility for 
the accuracy and authenticity of all data entered on the eCRFs.
The following data will not be recorded into the eCRFs:

Laboratory results

Measurement results of drug concentrations
After the lock of the clinical study database, any change of, modification of, or addition to the data 
on the eCRFs should be made by the investigator or sub-investigator with use of change and 
modification records of the eCRFs. The investigator must review the data change for completeness 
and accuracy, and must e-sign.
eCRFs will be reviewed for completeness and acceptability at the study site during periodic visits 
by study monitors. The Sponsor or its designee will be permitted to review the subject’s medical 
and hospital records pertinent to the study to ensure accuracy of the eCRFs. The completed eCRFs 
are the sole property of the Sponsor and should not be made available in any form to third parties, 
except for authorized representatives of appropriate governmental health or regulatory authorities, 
without written permission of the Sponsor.
15.2
Record Retention
The investigator or the head of the study site agrees to keep the records stipulated in Section 15.1
and those documents that include (but are not limited to) the study-specific documents, the 
identification log of all participating subjects, medical records, all original signed and dated
