Phase 1/2 Study of TAK-850 Intramuscular Injection in Healthy Pediatric Participants

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of an intramuscular injection of TAK-850 in healthy pediatric Japanese participants.

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-850, that is under development as a vaccine for influenza infection. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of TAK-850 in healthy Japanese children when given as an intramuscular injection.

The study will enroll approximately 99 participants (33 per treatment group) to receive TAK-850 in open label fashion, The participants will be assigned to each treatment group as follows:

* a single intramuscular injection of TAK-850/0.5 mL in 13 to 19 years old healthy Japanese children,
* Two injections of TAK-850/0.5 mL in 3 to 12 years old healthy Japanese children,
* Two injections of TAK-850/0.25 mL in 6 to 35 months old healthy Japanese children.

The overall time to participate in this trial is 22 days (13-19 years old) or 43 days (6 months to 12 years old). Participants will make up to 2 visits (13-19 years old) or 3 visits (6 months to 12 years old) to the site.

4. The participant has a history of influenza infection within 6 months prior to the initial injection of study vaccine.
5. The participant is a study site employee, an immediate family member of such an employee, or in a dependent relationship with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study (e.g., spouse, parent, child, sibling), or may consent under duress.
6. The participant has uncontrolled, clinically significant manifestations of neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, endocrine or other disorders, which may impact the ability of the participant to participate or potentially confound the study results.

12. The participant has a functional or surgical asplenia.
13. The participant has a rash, other dermatologic conditions or tattoos which may interfere with the evaluation of injection site reaction as determined by the Investigator.
14. The participant has a history of, or is infected with the Hepatitis B Virus (HBsAgs), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) or Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
15. The participant has a known hypersensitivity to any component of TAK-850.
16. The participant has a history of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.
17. The participant has a history of drug abuse (defined as any illicit drug use) or a history of alcohol abuse within 1 year prior to the initial injection of study vaccine or is unwilling to agree to abstain from alcohol and drugs throughout the study.
18. The participant has received any blood products (e.g. blood transfusion or immunoglobulin) within 90 days prior to the initial injection of study vaccine.
19. The participant has received a live vaccine within 4 weeks (28 days) or an inactivated vaccine within 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the initial injection of study vaccine.
20. If female, the participant is pregnant or lactating or intending to become pregnant before signing informed consent, during, or within 1 month after participating in this study; or intending to donate ova during such time period.
21. The participant has donated whole blood ≥ 200 mL within 4 weeks (28 days), ≥ 400 mL within 12 weeks (84 days), ≥ 800 mL within 52 weeks (364 days), or blood components within 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the initial injection of study vaccine.
22. In the opinion of the investigator or subinvestigator, the participant is unlikely to comply with protocol requirements or is considered ineligible for any other reason.
