Clinical trial NCT03050307
Conditions: Gastric Ulcer
Keywords: Drug therapy
Sponsor: Takeda
Start date: 2017-04-17; Completion date: 2020-05-26
Enrollment: 234 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferior efficacy of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in the treatment of participants with gastric ulcer.

Detailed description:
The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-438. TAK-438 is being tested to treat people who have stomach ulcers and also may or may not have Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. This study will look at stomach ulcer healing and also the elimination of HP in people who take TAK-438 versus lansoprazole.

The study will enroll approximately 830 patients.

Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the participants and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

* TAK-438 20 mg
* Lansoprazole 30 mg

Study treatment will depend upon the Helicobacter pylori infection status of the participant, and include bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for the first 2 weeks in H pylori infected (HP+) participants. HP+ participants will be asked to take a TAK- 438 tablet or a lansoprazole capsule twice daily in conjunction with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for 2 weeks, followed up by a TAK-438 tablet or a lansoprazole capsule once daily for up to 6 weeks. HP- participants will be asked to take a TAK-438 tablet or a lansoprazole capsule once daily for up to 8 weeks.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in China, Korea, Taiwan, and Philippines. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 12 weeks. Participants will make multiple visits plus final visit at 2 weeks or 4 weeks after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Arms: arm 1: Helicobacter Pylori positive (HP+) participants: TAK-438 20 mg tablet, twice daily (BID) along with lansoprazole placebo-matching, capsule BID in addition to bismuth-containing quadruple antibiotic therapy for the first 2 weeks. Following 2 weeks of eradication therapy participants received TAK-438 20 mg QD along with lansoprazole matching placebo 30 mg, capsule QD for up to 6 weeks. HP negative (HP-) participants: TAK-438 20 mg tablet, (QD) along with lansoprazole matching placebo, 30 mg capsule QD for up to 8 weeks. arm 2: HP+ participants: Lansoprazole 30 mg, capsule, orally, BID and TAK-438 placebo-matching tablet, orally, BID along with bismuth-containing quadruple antibiotic therapy for first 2 weeks. Following 2 weeks participants received Lansoprazole 30 mg, capsule, orally, QD along with TAK-438 placebo-matching tablet, orally, QD for up to 6 weeks. HP- participants: Lansoprazole 30 mg, capsule, orally, QD along with TAK-438 placebo-matching tablet, orally, QD for up to 8 weeks.
Interventions: intervention 1: TAK-438 intervention 2: Lansoprazole intervention 3: TAK-438 Placebo intervention 4: Lansoprazole Placebo intervention 5: Bismuth-Containing Quadruple Therapy
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: TAK-438 tablets intervention 2: Lansoprazole capsules intervention 3: TAK-438 placebo-matching tablets intervention 4: Lansoprazole placebo-matching capsules intervention 5: 1 g Amoxicillin, 500 mg clarithromycin and 600 mg bismuth potassium citrate/bismuth tripotassium dicitrate, twice daily (BID).

STUDY SUMMARY
Name of Sponsor(s):
Takeda Development Center Asia Pte. Ltd.
Compound:
TAK-438 (vonoprazan)
Title of Protocol: A Randomized Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Phase 3 
Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral TAK-438 20 mg 
Compared to Lansoprazole 30 mg Once- or Twice-Daily in the Treatment 
of Endoscopically Confirmed Gastric Ulcer Subjects With or Without 
Helicobacter pylori infection
IND No.:
Not applicable
EudraCT No.:
Not applicable
Study Number: TAK-438_302
Phase: 3
Study Design:
This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, noninferiority study of 
TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in subjects who have endoscopic evidence of gastric ulcer with or without Helicobacter 
pylori (H pylori) infection. Randomization will be stratified by H pylori infection status.
Subjects whose eligibility is confirmed during the 28-day screening period will complete Visit 2/ Day 1 procedures 
performed as listed in Appendix A to ensure continued eligibility. Dosing will begin after randomization on Day 1 and 
continue for up to 8 weeks. Study drug administration will depend upon the H pylori infection status of the subject, and 
include quadruple antibiotic therapy for the first 2 weeks in H pylori infected (HP+) subjects. 
Treatment Period—Dose and Regimen:

HP+ subjects will take TAK-438 20 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg (blinded with matching placebo) twice daily 
(BID) in conjunction with bismuth-containing quadruple antibiotic therapy for 2 weeks (amoxicillin 1 g BID, 
clarithromycin 500 mg BID, and bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg [equivalent to 220 mg bismuth], BID). 
After 2 weeks of eradication therapy, subjects will be required to take only TAK-438 or lansoprazole once a 
day (QD) for up to 6 weeks (ie, up to a total of 8 weeks of treatment). The subjects will remain in the same 
treatment arm throughout the study duration.

Non-H pylori infected (HP-) subjects will take TAK-438 or lansoprazole QD (blinded with matching 
placebo) for up to 8 weeks.
Enrollment of HP- subjects will be initiated first, until the availability of pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety data from a 
drug-drug interaction study to assess the effects of co-administration of TAK-438 with clarithromycin, amoxicillin, 
and bismuth as quadruple therapy in HP+ subjects. 
For all subjects, ulcer healing rates will be assessed by endoscopy at Weeks 4 and 8 of treatment. With or without 
endoscopic evidence of gastric ulcer healing, the treatment duration of the study is no more than 8 weeks. 
Subjects (HP+ or HP-) with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer(s) at Week 4 or Week 8 will discontinue treatment at 
that time and enter into the Follow-up period.
HP+ subjects with no healing at Week 8 will discontinue treatment and enter Follow-up. 
HP- subjects with no ulcer healing by Week 8 of the treatment period will be considered “completed cases” and 
discontinued from the study. 
Follow-up Period:
The subjects to be followed-up will include both HP+ and HP- subjects who had confirmed ulcer healing during the 
treatment period. HP+ subjects who did not have ulcer healing during treatment period will require one follow-up visit 
(F-2) to provide a post-study 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) to ascertain HP eradication status. HP- subjects with no 
ulcer healing are not required to be followed-up.
The recovery of serum gastrin-17 level in the follow-up period will be monitored for a maximum of 4 weeks in 
subjects with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer confirmed during the treatment period. For HP- subjects, the 
follow-up period ends when the recovery of serum gastrin-17 level is confirmed. No additional follow-up is planned 
for subjects without recovery during the 4-week follow-up period.

Statistical Considerations:
Efficacy Analysis
For the primary efficacy endpoint of Week 4 or 8 healing rate of gastric ulcer, a 2-sided 95% confidence interval will 
be constructed for the difference between TAK-438 and lansoprazole treatment groups and its lower bound will be 
compared to the noninferiority margin of -8%.
For the secondary efficacy endpoint of eradication rate of H pylori, a 2-sided 95% CI will be constructed for the 
difference between TAK-438 and lansoprazole treatment groups in subjects who were HP+ at Baseline, and its lower 
bound will be compared to the noninferiority margin of -10%.
The secondary endpoint of healing rate of gastric ulcer at Week 4 will be compared between TAK-438 and 
lansoprazole treatment groups by constructing a 2-sided 95% CI for the rate difference. The additional secondary 
endpoints related to gastrointestinal symptoms during treatment will be compared between treatment groups using 
Wilcoxon rank-sum tests.
Analysis of additional endpoints includes hierarchical tests for noninferiority and superiority of the primary endpoint 
and the 1st secondary endpoint. Additionally, Quality-of-Life endpoints will be conducted with an Analysis of 
Covariance model with treatment and baseline H pylori status as factors and baseline as a covariate.
Statistical inference will be performed at 2-sided 0.05 level of significance or via 2-sided 95% CIs. 
Safety Analysis
Safety analysis will be performed by summarizing the incidence of AEs, clinical laboratory tests including gastrin-17 
and pepsinogen I/II levels (total and ratio), vital signs, and ECGs. No statistical testing or inferential statistics will be 
generated.
Sample Size Justification: 
Assuming that the true Week 4 or Week 8 healing rate of gastric ulcer is 93.4% for both TAK-438 and lansoprazole, 
and assuming that the dropout rate is up to 20%, a sample size of 415 subjects per group will provide 98% power to 
establish noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% CI with a -8% noninferiority margin and will provide a sample size of 290 
subjects per group for regulatory requirements in China. Furthermore, assuming that the true eradication rate of H 
pylori is 90% for both TAK-438 and lansoprazole bismuth-containing quadruple therapies and that the dropout rate is 
up to 20%, a sample size of 270 H pylori positive subjects per group will provide 92% power to establish 
noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% CI with a -10% noninferiority margin and will provide a sample size of 232 
subjects per group for regulatory requirements in China. The overall power is therefore approximately 90%. Assuming 
that the proportion of subjects with H pylori infection at Baseline is 80%, a sample size of 332 subjects per group will 
provide 94% for noninferiority based on same effect size as overall population. The assumptions of ulcer healing and 
H pylori eradication rates are based on historical studies with lansoprazole, and literature on 
omeprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin/bismuth quadruple therapy (bismuth-containing).

INTRODUCTION
4.1
Background
Peptic ulcers (gastric and duodenal ulcers) are among major acid-related disorders and are 
accounted for in large part by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) infection and use of nonsteroidal 
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including low-dose aspirin.
In recent years, while the environment surrounding peptic ulcers has drastically changed due to a 
decrease in the incidence of H pylori infection as well as increased use of NSAIDs including 
low-dose aspirin, gastric and duodenal ulcers remain a major concern as an underlying cause for 
gastrointestinal bleeding.
The proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), such as lansoprazole, represent the drugs of first choice for 
gastric and duodenal ulcers and are being widely used.
The PPIs inhibit the H+, K+-ATPase enzyme (proton pump) which represents the final step in acid 
secretion by the parietal cells in the gastric mucosa, and produce potent anti-secretory efficacy for 
acid-related disorders. 
However, even with these potent acid-inhibitory effects, the PPIs are not without their limitations 
and have not necessarily produced adequate improvements in extent and speed of symptom relief 
[1]. Indeed, the PPIs appear to leave room for improvement, the reasons being that:
1. Being less resistant to acid exposure and provided as enteric-coated drugs, the PPIs vary in 
time for onset of their action; 
2. About 3 to 5 days are required to obtain maximum acid-inhibitory effects with the PPIs; 
3. Acid-inhibitory effects with the PPIs appear to be satisfactory during daytime, but not 
adequate to inhibit acid regurgitations from the stomach to the esophagus occurring during 
nighttime, leading to nocturnal acid breakthroughs in some individuals; 
4. Metabolized by CYP2C19 associated with polymorphisms, the PPIs are associated with 
varying serum concentrations, thus producing disparate acid-inhibitory effects in extensive 
metabolizers versus poor metabolizers. 
Developed at Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd, TAK-438 belongs to a new class of 
acid-inhibitory agents called “potassium-competitive acid blockers.” TAK-438 is shown not only 
to inhibit the H+,K+-ATPase enzyme in the final step of acid secretion, as the PPIs do, but does not 
require the presence of acid for its activation and inhibits the H+,K+-ATPase enzyme in a 
potassium-competitive fashion. Furthermore, TAK-438 is shown to be stable in the presence of 
acid and is water-soluble, requires no particular pharmacological preparations, such as an enteric 
coating, suggesting that TAK-438 may likely vary less in time for onset of action than the PPIs 
among those receiving the drug. Furthermore, in contrast to the PPIs which take 3 to 5 days to 
produce their maximum acid-inhibitory effects, TAK-438 is expected to produce its maximum 
acid-inhibitory effects in a much shorter time and to produce better outcomes than the PPIs with its 
potent and sustained acid-inhibitory effects. In Japan, TAK-438 has been evaluated for the doses

ranging between 1mg and 120 mg in a phase 1 study (TAK-438/CPH-001) as well as for safety, 
pharmacokinetics, and acid-inhibitory effects in a 7-day repeated-dose study (TAK-438/CPH-002) 
at the doses ranging between 10 mg and 40 mg. TAK-438 has been found to be well tolerated 
when given at the dose of 40 mg in the 7-day repeated-dose study, where the pH4 holding time 
ratio (pH4 HTR) with TAK-438 10 mg on day 7 was shown to be similar to that with lansoprazole
30 mg. However pH4 HTR was found to increase greatly with TAK-438 15 mg and 20 mg, and 
exceed 90% and remain stable with TAK-438 30 mg and 40 mg, thus providing evidence of 
TAK-438’s potent and sustained acid-inhibitory effects. Furthermore, no specific trend was found 
with any of the CYP2C19 polymorphisms, suggesting that these polymorphisms lead to very little 
difference in the pharmacokinetics of TAK-438. Additionally, in a study evaluating interactions 
between TAK-438 and various NSAIDs (eg, loxoprofen sodium, diclofenac sodium, meloxicam) 
(TAK-438/CPH-003), none of these drugs were shown to significantly affect the pharmacokinetics 
of TAK-438.
Studies of single-dose (TAK-438_101) and repeated-dose (TAK-438_107) TAK-438 were 
conducted in the UK as well, where TAK-438 was evaluated for its safety, pharmacokinetics and 
acid-inhibitory effects in the 7-day repeated-dose study at the doses ranging between 10 mg and 
40 mg. TAK-438 was shown to be well tolerated at the dose of 40 mg in the repeated-dose study, 
with the pH4 HTR on day 7 shown to be similar to that in the repeated-dose study conducted in 
Japan at either of the doses examined, supporting the potent and sustained acid-inhibitory effects 
of TAK-438. Again, in a study evaluating interactions between TAK-438 and clarithromycin 
conducted in the UK (TAK-438_110), repeated-dose clarithromycin was examined for its 
influence on the pharmacokinetics of TAK-438, where, while the plasma concentration of 
TAK-438F increased by 1.35-fold for the maximum concentration (Cmax) and by 1.58-fold for area 
under curve (AUC) in combination with clarithromycin, a potent inhibitor of the CYP3A4 
enzyme, TAK-438 was shown to be well tolerated.
In a phase 2 dose-ranging study of TAK-438 in subjects with erosive esophagitis 
(TAK-438/CCT-001), TAK-438, given once-daily (QD) at doses 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg 
for 8 weeks, was evaluated for its dose-response efficacy and safety in a randomized, double-blind, 
parallel-group comparison with AG-1749 (lansoprazole) serving as control, demonstrating that the 
rate of endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis 4 weeks after the start of treatment, the primary 
endpoint of the study, was 92.3%, 92.5%, 94.4%, and 97.0% with TAK-438 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg 
and 40 mg, respectively, compared to 93.2% with AG-1749, showing the noninferiority of 
TAK-438 to lansoprazole 30 mg at the doses examined. No particular safety concerns were 
identified with TAK-438 at the doses examined.
A phase 3 randomized, double-blind, multicenter parallel group comparison study 
(TAK-438/CCT-101) in subjects with gastric ulcer was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and 
safety of TAK-438 20 mg QD compared with lansoprazole 30 mg QD. The noninferiority of 
TAK-438 20 mg treatment to lansoprazole 30 mg treatment was verified. Resolution rate of 
heartburn was higher in the TAK-438 20 mg group (96.5%) than in the lansoprazole 30 mg group 
(82.0%). The resolution rate of all other symptoms related to gastric ulcer other than epigastric 
pain was higher in the TAK-438 20 mg group compared with the lansoprazole 30 mg group.

A phase 3 randomized, double-blind, multicenter parallel group comparison study in subjects with 
duodenal ulcer (TAK-438/CCT-102) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 
TAK-438 20 mg QD compared with lansoprazole 30 mg QD. For the per-protocol analysis set 
(PPS) and for all full analysis set (FAS) subjects who completed the study drug, the noninferiority 
of TAK-438 20 mg treatment to lansoprazole 30 mg treatment was indicated with respect to the 
endoscopic healing rate during the 6-week treatment period. Both treatments had favorable effects 
on the resolution rates (>80%) of duodenal ulcer.
Of note, in a phase 3 H pylori eradication study, 7-day treatment with TAK-438 20 mg (n=329) or 
lansoprazole 30 mg (n=321) in combination with amoxicillin 750 mg plus clarithromycin 200 or 
400 mg, H pylori eradication rates were 92.6% and 75.9%, respectively. Furthermore, the first 50 
treatment failures with good compliance received second-line triple-therapy with TAK-438 20 mg 
(in combination with amoxicillin 750 mg and metronidazole 250 mg) in an open-label manner and 
an eradication rate of 98% was observed. All treatments were well-tolerated.
Other phase 3 studies have shown that for the treatment and maintenance of GERD and ulcer 
prevention in subjects receiving concomitant medications, TAK-438 demonstrated clinical 
efficacy that was comparable with that of lansoprazole.
In the completed phase 3 studies to date, 3397 subjects were exposed to TAK-438 10 to 40 mg QD 
for up to 104 weeks. TAK-438 treatment was generally well tolerated, with a similar safety profile 
to that of lansoprazole. Incidences of drug-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) 
were low and similar between the TAK-438 and lansoprazole treatment groups. The safety of 
TAK-438 has been demonstrated in a number of clinical studies across several indications 
including the treatment of erosive esophagitis healing, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, H pylori, and 
nonerosive esophageal reflux disease. No significant changes in other laboratory test values, vital 
signs, or electrocardiogram (ECG) findings were observed during the studies.
Potential pharmacological class effects of acid-blocking treatments include hepatic function 
abnormal, bone fracture, Clostridium difficile (C difficile) enteric infection, pneumonia 
neuroendocrine tumors, hypomagnesemia, Vitamin B-12 deficiency, iron deficiency, acute 
interstitial nephritis, and drug interaction affected by gastric pH. Although no clear evidence has 
been identified linking them to TAK-438 treatment, hepatic function abnormal, bone fracture, C 
difficile enteric infection, and drug interaction affected by gastric pH are now considered as 
important potential risks based on the safety profile of drugs with a similar mode of action.
There is nothing in the safety/tolerability profile observed to date that precludes continued clinical 
investigation of TAK-438. The overall risk-benefit remains positive in both non-Japanese and 
Japanese healthy volunteers and in Japanese subjects with acid-related diseases. In addition, 
Takeda received approval for vonoprazan in Japan for the treatment of acid-related diseases in 
December, 2014. Vonoprazan (TAKECAB) is currently available as film-coated tablets, for oral 
dosing in dose strengths of 10 and 20 mg. The indications approved are as follows: treatment of 
gastric and duodenal ulcer; reflux esophagitis; prevention of ulcer recurrence during low-dose 
aspirin or NSAID administration and as an adjunct to H pylori eradication.

4.2
Rationale for the Proposed Study
In a phase 2 dose-ranging study of TAK-438 in subjects with erosive esophagitis 
(TAK-438/CCT-001), dose-response efficacy was shown with TAK-438, demonstrating that 
TAK-438 is noninferior to lansoprazole at the doses tested (5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg), with
no particular safety concerns identified. The rate of endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis in 
subjects with more severe disease (Los Angeles [LA] classification grades C/D) was 95% or 
higher with TAK-438 at doses 20 mg or higher compared to 87% with lansoprazole 30 mg.
The results of this study indicated TAK-438 20 mg could produce more potent and sustained 
acid-inhibitory effects than lansoprazole 30 mg, with no safety concerns. Given the disease 
similarities, TAK-438 20 mg was expected to be at least as effective as lansoprazole 30 mg for the 
treatment of gastric ulcer as it was for erosive esophagitis.
Thus, it was decided that a phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind study of TAK-438 
20 mg versus lansoprazole 30 mg QD (or double these doses in HP+ subjects as part of an 
eradication regimen) would be implemented to demonstrate the noninferior efficacy of TAK-438 
20 mg in subjects with gastric ulcer.
An ongoing drug-drug interaction study in Korea, TAK-438_115, is investigating the possible 
pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety effects of the co-administration of TAK-438 with 
clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and bismuth as a quadruple therapy in HP+ subjects.

STUDY DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION
6.1
Study Design
This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, 
noninferiority study of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in subjects who have endoscopic evidence of 
gastric ulcer with or without H pylori infection.
Approximately 830 subjects across approximately 60 sites in Asia will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio 
to either TAK-438 20 mg or to lansoprazole 30 mg (415 subjects per treatment arm). The 
randomization will be stratified by H pylori infection status, ie,

TAK-438: 415 subjects, with a minimum of 270 HP+ subjects

Lansoprazole: 415 subjects, with a minimum of 270 HP+ subjects
Enrollment of H pylori negative (HP-) subjects will be initiated first, until the availability of PK 
and safety data from a drug-drug interaction study to assess the effects of co-administration of 
TAK-438 with clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and bismuth as quadruple therapy in HP+ subjects.
Prior to the availability of the DDI study results, HP+ subjects who initially fail screening for the 
study will be treated according to the local routine clinical care.
Note that a maximum of 290 HP- subjects are allowed to be randomized into this study. If this cap 
is reached, randomization will be closed to HP- subjects.
Treatment period:
A schematic of the study design is included as Figure 6.a. A schedule of assessments is listed in 
Appendix A.
Dosing will begin on Day 1 after randomization (Visit 2) and last for up to 8 weeks. Study drug 
administration will depend upon the H pylori infection status of the subject. 
Administration of the 2 treatments will be according to the following regimens:

H pylori infected (HP+) subjects will take TAK-438 20 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg (blinded 
with matching placebo) twice daily (BID) in addition to bismuth-containing quadruple 
antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin 1 g BID, clarithromycin 500 mg BID, and bismuth potassium 
citrate 600 mg [equivalent to 220 mg bismuth] BID) for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of eradication 
therapy, subjects will be required to take only TAK-438 or lansoprazole once a day (QD) for 
up to 6 weeks (ie, up to a total of 8 weeks of treatment). The subject will remain in the same 
treatment arm throughout the study duration.

Non-H pylori infected (HP-) subjects will take TAK-438 or lansoprazole (blinded with 
matching placebo) QD for up to 8 weeks.
For all subjects, ulcer healing rates will be assessed by endoscopy at Weeks 4 and 8 of treatment. 
With or without endoscopic evidence of gastric ulcer healing, the treatment duration of the study is 
no more than 8 weeks.

Subjects (HP+ or HP-) with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer(s) at Week 4 or at Week 8 will 
discontinue treatment at that time and enter into the Follow-up period.
HP+ subjects with no healing at Week 8 will discontinue treatment and enter Follow-up. 
HP- subjects with no ulcer healing by Week 8 of the treatment period will be considered 
“completed cases” and be discontinued from the study. 
Follow-up period:
The subjects to be followed up will include both HP+ and HP- subjects with confirmed ulcer 
healing during the treatment period. HP+ subjects with no ulcer healing during treatment will 
require one follow-up visit (F-2) to provide a post-study 13C-UBT to ascertain HP eradication 
status. HP- subjects with no ulcer healing are not required to be followed-up.
The recovery of serum gastrin-17 level in follow-up period will be monitored for a maximum of 4 
weeks in subjects with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer confirmed during the treatment period. 
The follow-up period ends when the recovery of serum gastrin-17 level is confirmed. No 
additional follow-up is planned for subjects without recovery during the 4-week follow-up period.

Justification for Study Design, Dose, and Endpoints
For the subject population studied
Subjects will be included in the study if they are diagnosed as having gastric ulcer (ie, mucosal 
defects with white coat [including the case associated with blood coagula]) and having one or more 
gastric ulcers associated with a white coat measuring 5 mm or larger in longest diameter. 
For study design and sample size used
(1) Study design
This study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group comparison of TAK-438 
20 mg versus the PPI lansoprazole 30 mg, a first drug of choice for gastric ulcer as control to 
demonstrate the noninferiority of TAK-438. Subjects with HP+ disease will receive double these 
doses as part of a BID H pylori eradication regimen for 2 weeks. 
All subjects in whom endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer has been confirmed during the treatment 
period, serum gastrin-17 recovery status will be monitored during the Follow-up period, which is 
planned to last up to 4 weeks but to be completed at the time point at which serum gastrin-17 
recovery has been confirmed in these subjects. This is to address safety concerns due to the 
dose-dependent elevated serum gastrin observed in TAK-438 subjects from a completed period 2 
study.
The 4-week duration of monitoring was selected so that subjects who remain HP+ at F-2 may be 
further treated with alternative HP eradication regimens. 
(2) Sample size
For a description of the rationale for sample size determination, refer to Section 13.3.
For doses of the study drugs used
In a phase 2 dose-ranging study of TAK-438 in subjects with erosive esophagitis 
(TAK-438/CCT-001), TAK-438 exhibited a dose-response efficacy at doses 5 mg, 10 mg, 20 mg, 
and 40 mg, and demonstrated its noninferiority to lansoprazole 30 mg at either of the doses 
examined after 4 weeks of treatment, with no particular safety concerns identified. Additionally, 
given that the rate of endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis in subjects with more severe 
disease (LA classification grades C/D) was 95% or higher with TAK-438 at doses 20 mg or higher 
compared to 87% with lansoprazole 30 mg, the clinically recommended dose of TAK-438 for 
erosive esophagitis was determined as 20 mg. As the clinically recommended dose of lansoprazole 
for gastric ulcer is the same as that for erosive esophagitis (30 mg), the clinically recommended 
dose of lansoprazole for gastric ulcer was determined as 30 mg.
The quadruple antibiotic therapy is a well-established treatment regimen in conjunction with a PPI 
for the treatment of H pylori infection.

In a phase 1 single-dose study of TAK-438 in healthy male volunteers conducted in Japan
(TAK-438 CPH-001 study), which evaluated the influence of diet on the pharmacokinetics of 
TAK-438 10 mg and 40 mg, the AUC0-48 and the Cmax was shown to be increased by 1.32-fold 
(95% CI, 1.18 to 1.48) and by 1.21-fold (95% CI, 0.951 to 1.54), respectively, with TAK-438 
10 mg, and by 1.15-fold (95% CI, 1.05 to 1.27) and by 1.08 (95% CI, 0.944 to 1.23), respectively, 
with TAK-438 40 mg, after meals compared to those seen under fasting conditions, demonstrating 
that the postprandial increases in AUC and Cmax with TAK-438 were modest. Again, 
pharmacological results from the same phase 1 study demonstrated that once-daily dosing of 
TAK-438 exhibited adequate acid-inhibitory effects that were sustained over a 24-hour period. It 
is of note here that the control agent lansoprazole 30 mg has been approved as a once-daily 
regimen.
It was thus decided that TAK-438 would be given after breakfast as a once-daily regimen.
For duration of treatment used
The PPIs, the first drug of choice for gastric ulcer, have been approved for use for 8 weeks. Thus, 
the study was so designed to allow the study drug to be given for up to 8 weeks but to be completed 
if endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer has been confirmed in the subjects after 4 weeks of treatment.
For endpoints used
1) Primary endpoint
Endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer represents the goal of treatment for gastric ulcer, for which 
lansoprazole 30 mg has been approved for use QD for up to 8 weeks.
Thus, the primary endpoint was defined as the rate of endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer during 
the 8-week treatment period.
2) Secondary endpoints
As eradication of H pylori is standard of care in HP+ subjects, eradication of H pylori has been 
included as the main secondary endpoint. The study is adequately powered to allow this.
As TAK-438 is expected to produce more sustained, potent acid-inhibitory effects and earlier 
healing of gastric ulcer than the PPIs such as lansoprazole 30 mg, before 8 weeks of treatment, ie, 
the duration of treatment approved for the PPIs, the rate of endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer after 
4 weeks of treatment was included as a secondary endpoint.
Additionally, as gastric ulcer may be associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, the occurrence of 
gastric ulcer-associated symptoms (epigastric pain [postprandial, fasting, nocturnal], abdominal 
bloating, nausea/vomiting, heartburn, lack of appetite) is also included as secondary endpoints.
3) Additional Endpoints
Additional endpoints include measurement of QOL, and other endpoints designed to minimize the 
potentially confounding impact of H pylori eradication. Safety endpoints include AEs, laboratory 
test values, ECG, vital signs, serum gastrin-17 and pepsinogen I/II values.

Diet, Fluid, Activity Control 
Subjects should be instructed as follows:

To adhere closely to the scheduled visits, seek medical consultation, and undergo 
predetermined laboratory tests. 

To take study drugs after breakfast at about the same time as he/she usually does with 
approximately 240 ml water. For the HP+ subjects in first 2 weeks of HP eradication therapy 
period, to ensure that bismuth and TAK-438/lansoprazole are to be taken 0.5 hour before 
breakfast and dinner. Breakfast and dinner should be completed within 0.5 hour before taking 
clarithromycin and amoxicillin, ie, 1 hour after bismuth and TAK-438/lansoprazole dosing. 

To present to the clinic in a fasting state when he/she is scheduled for laboratory tests and/ or 
endoscopy. On such study visit days, subjects will be instructed to take their dose of study 
drug(s) (if appropriate) after study procedures are completed.

Subjects should be instructed according to Section 8.1.3.1 (Missed Doses) and Section 9.2
(Compliance) at every study visit. Details of any missed or forgotten doses should be reported 
to the Investigator or designee at the subsequent study visit.

To store all medications in a cool, dry, safe place which is out of reach of children and to bring 
all study supplies (empty / used / unused drug packets) to each study visit.

If during study participation the subject is prescribed medication by a nonstudy physician or 
other healthcare professional, he/she should consult the investigator beforehand. Such 
treatment or consultation, or the use of over-the-counter medicine should be reported at the 
next study visit.

To report on all subjective or objective symptoms experienced with regard to their details, day 
of onset, severity, outcome, and day of outcome at every visit. In case of emergency, such as 
occurrence of a serious adverse event (SAE), the subject or his/her family should contact the 
investigator as soon as possible.

To use contraception without failure. (A female subject of childbearing potential from signing 
of informed consent throughout the duration of the study and 4 weeks after the final dose of the 
study drug.) Pregnancy in a female subject should be reported immediately. 

Not to donate blood during the study, and to report on any such donation immediately.

To refrain from excessive drinking and eating, an extreme diet change (eg, change to an 
extremely high-fat diet) or excessive exercise throughout the study.

7.5
Criteria for Discontinuation or Withdrawal of a Subject
The primary reason for discontinuation or withdrawal of the subject from the study should be 
recorded in the eCRF using the following categories. For screen failure subjects, refer to Section 
9.1.12.
1. Pretreatment event (PTE) or AE. The subject has experienced a PTE or AE that requires early 
termination because continued participation imposes an unacceptable risk to the subject’s 
health or the subject is unwilling to continue because of the PTE or AE.

Liver Function Test Abnormalities
Study medication should be discontinued immediately with appropriate clinical follow-up 
(including repeat laboratory tests, until a subject’s laboratory profile has returned to 
normal/baseline status, see Section 9.1.8), if the following circumstances occur at any time 
during study medication treatment:
–
ALT, AST or total bilirubin >2 times the ULN.
2. Significant protocol deviation. The discovery after randomization that the subject failed to 
meet protocol entry criteria or did not adhere to protocol requirements, and continued 
participation poses an unacceptable risk to the subject’s health.
3. Lost to follow-up. The subject did not return to the clinic and attempts to contact the subject 
were unsuccessful. Attempts to contact the subject must be documented.
4. Voluntary withdrawal. The subject (or subject’s legally acceptable representative) wishes to 
withdraw from the study. The reason for withdrawal, if provided, should be recorded in the 
eCRF.
Note: All attempts should be made to determine the underlying reason for the withdrawal and, 
where possible, the primary underlying reason should be recorded (ie, withdrawal due to an 
AE or lack of efficacy should not be recorded in the “voluntary withdrawal” category).
5. Study termination. The sponsor, IRB, IEC, or regulatory agency terminates the study.
6. Pregnancy. The subject is found to be pregnant. 
Note: If the subject is found to be pregnant, the subject must be withdrawn immediately. The 
procedure is described in Section 9.1.10.
7. Lack of efficacy. The investigator has determined that the subject is not benefiting from 
investigational treatment; and, continued participation would pose an unacceptable risk to the 
subject. 
8. Other.
Note: The specific reasons should be recorded in the “specify” field of the eCRF, for example: 
noncompliance.

Procedures for Discontinuation or Withdrawal of a Subject
The investigator may terminate a subject’s study participation at any time during the study when 
the subject meets the study termination criteria described in Section 7.5. In addition, a subject may 
discontinue his or her participation without giving a reason at any time during the study. Should a 
subject’s participation be discontinued, the primary criterion for termination must be recorded. In 
addition, efforts should be made to perform all procedures scheduled for the Early Termination 
Visit. Discontinued or withdrawn subjects will not be replaced.

Dose and Regimen
Subjects who qualify for the study will be randomly assigned to receive either TAK-438 or 
lansoprazole.
At the randomization visit/ Visit 2, H pylori positive subjects will receive 2 blister cards, each card 
containing 20 tablets of TAK-438 (or placebo tablets) and 20 capsules of lansoprazole (or placebo 
capsules). HP+ subjects will be required to take one tablet (containing either TAK-438 or placebo) 
and one capsule (containing either lansoprazole or placebo) twice a day (BID) for 2 weeks. HP+ 
subjects will also receive a 2-week supply of companion drugs (amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 
500 mg, and bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg), to be taken BID for 2 weeks. Subjects will be 
instructed to take bismuth potassium citrate 600 mg and one dose of TAK-438 or lansoprazole 
BID, 0.5 hours before taking breakfast and dinner. Subjects will be advised to complete their meals 
(breakfast and dinner) within 0.5 hours. Clarithromycin 500 mg and amoxicillin 1 g are to be taken 
BID after meals, ie, 1 hour after bismuth and study drug dosing. After completing 2 weeks of HP 
eradication therapy, subjects will follow the same dosing regimen as H pylori negative subjects 
(one dose daily, described below) until the end of treatment period.
H pylori negative subjects will be dispensed one blister card containing TAK-438 or lansoprazole 
(with appropriate placebo) after randomization at Visit 2 and at subsequent visits as required. HP-
subjects will be required to take one tablet (containing either TAK-438 or placebo) and one 
capsule (containing either lansoprazole or placebo) daily (QD) after breakfast at about the same 
time as he/she usually does, with approximately 240 ml water.

Page 40 of 95
Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02
21 December 2016
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. 
Cases of overdose without manifested signs or symptoms are not considered AEs. AEs associated 
with an overdose will be documented on AE CRF(s) according to Section 10.0, Pretreatment 
Events and Adverse Events.
SAEs associated with overdose should be reported according to the procedure outlined in Section 
10.2.2, Collection and Reporting of SAEs.
In the event of drug overdose, the subject should be treated symptomatically. 
8.2
Study Drug Assignment and Dispensing Procedures
An interactive web response system (IWRS) will be used to manage inventory, assist the site in 
dispensing the proper investigational drug to the subjects, record accountability and support the 
return to Sponsor or designee of study drugs after study completion.
The investigator or investigator’s designee will access the IWRS at screening visit 1 to obtain the 
subject study number. The investigator or the investigator’s designee will utilize the IWRS to 
randomize the subject into the study. During this contact, the investigator or designee will provide 
the necessary subject-identifying information, including the subject number that was assigned at 
screening. The medication identification (Med ID) number of the study drugs to be dispensed will 
then be provided via the IWRS. 
If sponsor-supplied drugs are lost or damaged, the site can request a replacement from IWRS. 
(Refer to IWRS manual, provided separately.) At subsequent drug-dispensing visits, the 
investigator or designee will again contact the IWRS to request additional study drug(s) for a 
subject. 
Please refer to the IWRS user guide for the details of the Med ID number assignments for the study 
drugs.
8.3
Randomization Code Creation and Storage
Randomization personnel of the sponsor or designee will generate the randomization schedule 
prior to the start of the study. All randomization information will be stored in a secured area, 
accessible only by authorized personnel.
Subjects will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to TAK-438 and lansoprazole treatment groups, stratified 
by HP status using IWRS.
8.4
Investigational Drug Blind Maintenance
The blinding for TAK-438 and lansoprazole will be maintained using the IWRS. 
8.5
Unblinding Procedure
The blinding for TAK-438 and lansoprazole shall not be broken by the investigator unless 
information concerning the investigational drug is necessary for the medical treatment of the

subject. In the event of a medical emergency, the investigator will be able to access IWRS to 
determine subject’s treatment group assignment. The investigator will, whenever possible, discuss 
options with the medical monitor before unblinding. 
The sponsor must be notified as soon as possible if the drug blinding is broken. The date, time, and 
reason the blind is broken must be recorded in the source documents and the same information 
(except the time) must be recorded on the eCRF.
If any site personnel are unblinded, drug treatment must be stopped immediately and the subject 
must be withdrawn from the study.
8.6
Accountability and Destruction of Sponsor-Supplied Drugs
Drug supplies will be counted and reconciled at the site before being returned to the sponsor or 
designee.
The investigator or designee must ensure that the sponsor-supplied drugs are used in accordance 
with the approved protocol and is dispensed only to subjects enrolled in the study. To document 
appropriate use of sponsor-supplied drugs, the investigator must maintain records of all 
sponsor-supplied drug delivery to the site, site inventory, dispensation and use by each subject, and 
return to the sponsor or designee.
Upon receipt of sponsor-supplied drugs, the investigator or designee must verify the contents of 
the shipments against the packing list. The verifier should ensure that the quantity is correct and is 
in good condition. If quantity and conditions are acceptable, investigator or designee should 
acknowledge the receipt of the shipment by recording in IWRS. If there are any discrepancies 
between the packing list versus the actual product received, Takeda must be contacted to resolve 
the issue. The packing list should be filed in the investigator’s essential document file.
The investigator must maintain 100% accountability for all sponsor-supplied drugs received and 
dispensed during his or her entire participation in the study. Proper drug accountability includes, 
but is not limited to:

Continuously monitoring expiration dates (drug label).

Frequently verifying that actual inventory matches documented inventory.

Verifying that the log is completed for the drug lot (or Med ID or job number) used to prepare 
each dose.

Verifying that all containers used are documented accurately on the log.

Verifying that required fields are completed accurately and legibly.
If any dispensing errors or discrepancies are discovered, the sponsor must be notified immediately.
The current inventory of all sponsor-supplied drugs will be maintained in IWRS. The following 
information will be recorded at a minimum: protocol number and title, name of investigator, site 
identifier and number, description of sponsor-supplied drugs, expiry or retest date, date and 
amount dispensed including initials of the person dispensing the drug, and the date and amount

returned to the site by the subject, including the initials of the person receiving the 
sponsor-supplied drugs. The IWRS will include all required information as a separate entry for 
each subject to whom sponsor-supplied drugs are dispensed.
Prior to site closure or at appropriate intervals, a representative from the sponsor or its designee 
will perform clinical study material accountability and reconciliation before clinical study 
materials are returned to the sponsor or its designee for destruction. The investigator will retain a 
copy of the documentation regarding clinical study material accountability, return, and/or 
destruction, and originals will be sent to the sponsor or designee.
The investigator will be notified of any expiry date or retest date extension of clinical study 
material during the study conduct. On expiry date notification from the sponsor or designee, the 
site must complete all instructions outlined in the notification, including segregation of expired 
clinical study material for return to the sponsor or its designee for destruction.
In the event of expiry date extension of supplies already at the study site, supplies may be relabeled 
with the new expiry date at that site. In such cases, sponsor or its designee will prepare additional 
labels, certificates of analyses, and all necessary documentation for completion of the procedure at 
the sites.

If subjects experience an increase in any one of ALT, AST, or total bilirubin >2 × ULN, the study 
drug shall be stopped due to the discontinuation criteria having been met (Section 7.5). Follow-up 
laboratory tests (at a minimum, serum alkaline phosphatase, ALT, AST, total bilirubin, GGT, and 
INR) should be performed within a maximum of 7 days and preferably within 48 to 72 hours after 
the abnormality was found.
Given the possibility that the use of TAK-438 or lansoprazole may be associated with increases in 
serum gastrin-17 and pepsinogen I/II levels, the subjects will be examined for gastrin-17 and 
pepsinogen I/II levels (total and ratio) to investigate the magnitude of these increases during the 
Treatment and Follow-Up periods (as appropriate).
To establish H pylori infection status, a 13C-UBT will be performed via the central laboratory. 
Exhaled air samples will be taken in accordance with instructions for use of central analysis to test 
for H pylori infection status determination.
Additional blood may be collected per the investigator’s discretion.
Local laboratories may be used to perform laboratory tests for HBV, HCV and LFT tests, etc., only 
under special circumstances, on case by case basis with sponsor’s agreement. The Investigator will 
maintain a copy of the laboratory accreditation and the reference ranges for the laboratory used.
Please refer to Section 10.2.3 for the appropriate guidance on Reporting of Abnormal Liver

9.1.9
Contraception and Pregnancy Avoidance Procedure
From signing of informed consent, throughout the duration of the study, and for 4 weeks after last 
dose of study medication, female subjects of childbearing potential* who are sexually active with a 
nonsterilized male partner** must use adequate contraception. In addition they must be advised 
not to donate ova during this period.
*Females NOT of childbearing potential are defined as those who have been surgically sterilized 
(hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation) or who are postmenopausal (eg, defined 
as at least 1 year since last regular menses with an FSH>40 IU/L or at least 5 years since last 
regular menses, confirmed before any study medication is implemented).
**Sterilized males should be at least 1 year postvasectomy and have confirmed that they have 
obtained documentation of the absence of sperm in the ejaculate.
An acceptable method of contraception is defined as one that has no higher than a 1% failure rate. 
In this study, where medications and devices containing hormones are excluded, the only 
acceptable methods of contraception are:

Barrier methods (each time the subject has 
intercourse) where applicable (a):
Intrauterine devices (IUDs):
Cap (plus spermicidal cream or jelly) PLUS 
male condom 
Diaphragm (plus spermicidal cream or jelly) 
PLUS male condom 
Copper T 
(a) Barrier methods are only applicable in countries where spermicide is commercially available
Subjects will be provided with information on acceptable methods of contraception as part of the 
subject informed consent process and will be asked to sign a consent form stating that they 
understand the requirements for avoidance of pregnancy, donation of ova, and sperm donation 
during the course of the study.
During the course of the study, regular urine human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy tests 
will be performed only for women of childbearing potential and subjects will receive continued 
guidance with respect to the avoidance of pregnancy as part of the study procedures (Appendix A). 
Female subjects must have a negative urine hCG pregnancy test on Day 1 prior to receiving any 
dose of study medication.
9.1.10 Pregnancy
If any subject is found to be pregnant during the study she should be withdrawn and any 
sponsor-supplied drugs should be immediately discontinued. 
If the pregnancy occurs during administration of active study medication, eg, after Visit 2 or within 
4 weeks of the last dose of active study medication, the pregnancy should be reported immediately, 
using a pregnancy notification form, to the contact listed in Section 1.0.
Should the pregnancy occur during or after administration of blinded drug, the investigator must 
inform the subject of their right to receive treatment information. If the subject chooses to receive 
unblinded treatment information, the individual blind should be broken by the investigator. 
If the female subject agrees to the primary care physician being informed, the investigator should 
notify the primary care physician that the subject was participating in a clinical study at the time 
she became pregnant and provide details of treatment the subject received (blinded or unblinded, 
as applicable).
All reported pregnancies will be followed up to final outcome, using the pregnancy form. The 
outcome, including any premature termination, must be reported to the sponsor. An evaluation 
after the birth of the child will also be conducted.
9.1.11 ECG Procedure 
A standard 12-lead ECG will be recorded. The investigator (or a qualified observer at the 
investigational site) will interpret the ECG using 1 of the following categories: within normal 
limits, abnormal but not clinically significant, or abnormal and clinically significant. The time that

the ECG was performed will be recorded. The following parameters will be recorded on the eCRF 
from the subject’s ECG trace: heart rate, RR interval, PR interval, QT interval and QRS interval.
As ECG tracings on thermal paper fade over time, any such tracings should be completely 
photocopied and both the original tracing and the counter-signed copy should be filed in the 
subject’s medical record.
If a routine ECG is done within 14 days prior to randomization, it can be used as study data.
9.1.12 Documentation of Screen Failure
Investigators must account for all subjects who sign informed consent.
If the subject is found to be not eligible prior to randomization, the investigator should complete 
the eCRF. The IWRS should be contacted as a notification of screen failure.
The primary reason for screen failure is recorded in the eCRF using the following categories:

PTE/AE.

Did not meet inclusion criteria or did meet exclusion criteria.

Significant protocol deviation.

Lost to follow-up.

Voluntary withdrawal.

Study termination.

Other.
Subject numbers assigned to subjects who fail screening should not be reused.
9.1.13 Documentation of Randomization
Only subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria are eligible 
for randomization into the treatment period.
If the subject is found to be not eligible for randomization, the investigator should record the 
primary reason for failure on the applicable eCRF.
Instructions on accessing and using the IWRS will be provided in a separate manual. Blinded 
details of subject treatment allocation (Med ID numbers) provided via the IWRS should be 
documented in the subject’s medical record and/or eCRF.
9.1.14 Endoscopy 
Endoscopy should be performed while subjects are fasted and according to the usual practice of the 
institution (ie, in regards to premedications or concomitant therapies as long as they are not 
prohibited in Section 7.3 of this protocol).

During endoscopy the Investigator, or designee, should ensure that the gastric mucosa is observed 
for a sufficient duration that the subject’s eligibility is confirmed and ensure that any white coat 
(including the case associated with blood coagulation, with no active bleeding) present in the 
subject is measured for its longest diameter using the endoscopic clamp as a measure and 
determine the characteristics of current ulcers in accordance with Section 9.1.2. The Investigator 
should judge the ulcers as “Healed” or “Unhealed” based on endoscopy findings from Visit 4 
onward. Digital images of the current ulcers should be captured and stored at the investigational 
site and they should be available in the event of a future medical or data query, audit or inspection.
To ensure the accuracy of the gastric ulcer evaluation, a second review process of the endoscopy 
images will be established at each site. The first reviewer, ie, the endoscopist, should take 
sufficient images or videotape the process at each endoscopic examination. The second reviewer 
will evaluate the gastric ulcer according to the endoscopic images.
Preferably, the principal investigator performs as the second reviewer and conducts the second
review in a timely manner after the endoscopy is performed by the first reviewer who is a 
subinvestigator in this study.
In cases where the principal investigator is the first reviewer, a subinvestigator at the same site can 
be delegated as the second reviewer and conducts the second review in a timely manner.
Only investigators (either principal investigators or subinvestigators) can be delegated as the 
second reviewer.
If the evaluations of gastric ulcer by the 2 reviewers are consistent, this result becomes the final 
report. If not, the 2 reviewers will discuss their findings and reach a consensus, which will then 
become the final report.
After the endoscopy the Investigator should promptly record any findings or observations in the 
subject’s medical record.
9.1.15 Gastrointestinal Symptoms of Gastric Ulcer and Quality of Life
Any gastrointestinal symptoms related to gastric ulcer (epigastric pain [postprandial, 
fasting/nocturnal], abdominal bloating, nausea/vomiting, heartburn, lack of appetite) will be 
captured at the start of the treatment period (Visit 2). At all visits from Visit 2 through the 
completion of the study drug administration, symptoms noted at Visit 2 will be followed up. If any 
symptom resolved during the treatment period, the date of resolution will be recorded in the eCRF. 
Additionally, during study visits the EQ-5D-5L will be completed before all other procedures at 
that study visit. This questionnaire will be available in the local language in a paper format. It 
should be completed by the subject directly while attending the study visit.
9.2
Monitoring Subject Treatment Compliance
Subjects will be required to bring study drug containers/unused medications to each dispensing 
site visit. Investigators or designee should perform subject treatment compliance checks by 
reviewing the returned medications. If a subject is persistently noncompliant with the study drug

(eg, at more than 2 consecutive compliance checks to have taken less than 75% or more than 133% 
of the study drug, including HP eradication therapy), it may be appropriate to withdraw the subject 
from the study. 
At each applicable study visit it should be documented in the subject’s medical record that study 
drug was dispensed or collected, or checked for compliance. All subjects should be reinstructed 
about the dosing requirement during study contacts. The authorized study personnel conducting 
the re-education must document the process in the subject source records.
9.3

10.0
PRETREATMENT EVENTS AND ADVERSE EVENTS
10.1
Definitions
10.1.1 Pretreatment Events
A PTE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject who has 
signed informed consent to participate in a study but prior to administration of any study drug; it 
does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with study participation.
10.1.2 AEs
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject 
administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or 
not it is considered related to the drug.
10.1.3 Additional Points to Consider for PTEs and AEs
An untoward finding generally may:

Indicate a new diagnosis or unexpected worsening of a pre-existing condition. (Intermittent 
events for pre-existing conditions underlying disease should not be considered PTEs or AEs.)

Necessitate therapeutic intervention.

Require an invasive diagnostic procedure.

Require discontinuation or a change in dose of study drug, or of a concomitant medication.

Be considered unfavorable by the investigator for any reason.
Diagnoses vs 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 a PTE(s) or as an AE(s).
Laboratory values and ECG findings:

Changes in laboratory values or ECG parameters are only considered to be PTEs or AEs if they 
are judged to be clinically significant (ie, if some action or intervention is required or if the 
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.

TAK-438
Study No. TAK-438_302
Page 58 of 95
Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02
21 December 2016

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 a PTE or as an AE.
Pre-existing conditions:

Pre-existing conditions (present at the time of signing of informed consent) are considered 
concurrent medical conditions and should NOT be recorded as PTEs or AEs. Baseline 
evaluations (eg, laboratory tests, ECG, X-rays etc.) should NOT be recorded as PTEs unless 
related to study procedures. However, if the subject experiences a worsening or complication 
of such a concurrent condition, the worsening or complication should be recorded 
appropriately as a PTE (worsening or complication occurs before start of study drug) or an AE 
(worsening or complication occurs after start of study drug). Investigators 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 a PTE/AE if the episodes become more frequent, serious or 
severe in nature, that is, investigators should ensure that the AE term recorded captures the 
change in the condition from Baseline (eg “worsening of…”).

If a subject has a degenerative concurrent condition (eg, cataracts, rheumatoid arthritis), 
worsening of the condition should only be captured as a PTE/AE if occurring to a greater 
extent to that which would be expected. Again, investigators should ensure that the AE term 
recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).
Worsening of PTEs or AEs:

If the subject experiences a worsening or complication of a PTE after starting administration of 
the study drug, the worsening or complication should be recorded appropriately as an AE. 
Investigators should ensure that the AE term recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, 
“worsening of…”).

If the subject experiences a worsening or complication of an AE after any change in study 
drug, the worsening or complication should be recorded as a new AE. Investigators should 
ensure that the AE term recorded captures the change in the condition (eg, “worsening of…”).
Changes in severity of AEs /Serious PTEs:

If the subject experiences changes in severity of an AE/serious PTE, the event should be 
captured once with the maximum severity recorded.
Preplanned surgeries or procedures:

Preplanned procedures (surgeries or therapies) that were scheduled prior to signing of 
informed consent are not considered PTEs or AEs. However, if a preplanned 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 a PTE or an AE. Complications 
resulting from any planned surgery should be reported as AEs.

Study No. TAK-438_302
Page 59 of 95
Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02
21 December 2016
Elective surgeries or procedures:

Elective procedures performed where there is no change in the subject’s medical condition 
should not be recorded as PTEs or AEs, but should be documented in the subject’s source 
documents. Complications resulting from an elective surgery should be reported as AEs.
Insufficient clinical response (lack of efficacy):

Insufficient clinical response, efficacy, or pharmacologic action, should NOT be recorded as 
an AE. The principal investigator must make the distinction between exacerbation of 
pre-existing illness and lack of therapeutic efficacy.
Overdose:

Cases of overdose with any medication without manifested side effects are NOT considered 
PTEs or AEs, but instead will be documented on an Overdose page of the eCRF. Any 
manifested side effects will be considered PTEs or AEs and will be recorded on the AE page of 
the eCRF.
10.1.4 SAEs
An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:
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. Is a 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).

PTEs that fulfill 1 or more of the serious criteria above are also to be considered serious and should 
be reported and followed up in the same manner as SAEs (see Sections 10.2.2 and 10.3).
10.1.5 Special Interest AEs
A Special Interest Adverse Event (serious or nonserious) is one of scientific and medical concern 
specific to the compound or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by 
the investigator to Takeda may be appropriate. Such events may require further investigation in 
order to characterize and understand them and would be described in protocols and instructions 
provided for investigators as to how and when they should be reported to Takeda. 
There are no AEs of Special Interest in this study.
10.1.6 Severity of PTEs and AEs
The different categories of intensity (severity) are characterized as follows:
Mild:
The event is transient and easily tolerated by the subject.
Moderate:
The event causes the subject discomfort and interrupts the subject’s usual activities.
Severe:
The event causes considerable interference with the subject’s usual activities.
10.1.7 Causality of AEs
The relationship of each AE to study drug(s) will be assessed using the following categories:
Yes:
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 can be 
argued, although factors other than the drug, such as underlying diseases, complications, 
concomitant drugs and concurrent treatments, may also be responsible.
No:
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 drugs and concurrent treatments.

Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02
21 December 2016
10.1.8 Relationship to Study Procedures
Relationship (causality) to study procedures should be determined for all PTEs and AEs.
The relationship should be assessed as Yes if the investigator considers that there is reasonable 
possibility that an event is due to a study procedure. Otherwise, the relationship should be assessed 
as No.
10.1.9 Start Date 
The start date of the AE/PTE is the date that the first signs/symptoms were noted by the subject 
and/or physician.
10.1.10
Stop Date 
The stop date of the AE/serious PTE is the date at which the subject recovered, the event resolved 
but with sequelae or the subject died.
10.1.11
Frequency 
Episodic AEs/serious PTE (eg, vomiting) or those which occur repeatedly over a period of 
consecutive days are intermittent. All other events are continuous.
10.1.12
Action Concerning Study Drug(s)

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 before 
the onset of the AE.

Dose Increased – the dose was increased due to the particular AE.

Dose Reduced – the dose was reduced due to the particular AE

Dose Interrupted - The study drug was temporarily interrupted (discontinued) (including 
voluntary drug interruption by the subject) due to the particular AE, and resumed at a later date
10.1.13
Outcome 

Recovered/Resolved – Subject returned to first assessment status with respect to the 
AE/serious PTE.

Recovering/Resolving – the intensity is lowered by one or more stages: the diagnosis or 
signs/symptoms has almost disappeared; the abnormal laboratory value improved, but has not

returned to the normal range or to baseline; the subject died from a cause other than the 
particular AE/serious PTE 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 got worse than when it started; is an irreversible congenital anomaly; the 
subject died from another cause with the particular AE/serious PTE state remaining “Not 
recovered/not resolved”.

Resolved with sequelae – the subject recovered from an acute AE/serious PTE but was left 
with permanent/significant impairment (eg, recovered from a cardiovascular accident but with 
some persisting paresis.

Fatal – the AEs/serious PTEs which are considered as the cause of death.

Unknown – the course of the AE/serious PTE cannot be followed up due to hospital change or 
residence change at the end of the subject’s participation in the study.
10.2
Procedures
10.2.1 Collection and Reporting of AEs
10.2.1.1 PTE and AE Collection Period
Collection of PTEs will commence from the time the subject signs the informed consent to 
participate in the study and continue until the subject is first administered study drug (study visit 2) 
or until screen failure. For subjects who discontinue prior to study drug administration, PTEs are 
collected until the subject discontinues study participation.
Collection of AEs will commence from the time that the subject is first administered study drug 
(Visit 2, Randomization). Routine collection of AEs will continue until the subject’s last study 
visit (ie, Early Termination or Follow-Up visit).
10.2.1.2 PTE and AE Reporting
At each study visit, the 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 a 
serious PTE 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 PTEs, related or unrelated to the study procedure, need not to be followed-up for the 
purposes of the protocol.
All subjects experiencing AEs, 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 PTEs and AEs will be documented in the PTE/AE page of the eCRF,

10.2.3 Reporting of Abnormal Liver Function Tests as SAEs
If during the treatment or follow-up period 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, the event should 
be recorded as an SAE and reported as per Section 10.2.2. The investigator must contact the 
Medical 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. Follow-up laboratory tests as 
described in Section 9.1.8 must also be performed. In addition, a Liver Function Test Abnormality 
Form must be completed and transmitted with the Takeda SAE form (as per Section 10.2.2).
10.3
Follow-up of SAEs
If information not available at the time of the first report becomes available at a later date, the 
investigator should complete a follow-up SAE form or provide other written documentation and 
transmit it immediately within 24 hours of receipt. Copies of any relevant data from the hospital 
notes (eg, ECGs, laboratory tests, discharge summary, postmortem results) should be sent to the 
addressee, if requested.
All SAEs should be followed up until resolution or permanent outcome of the event. The timelines 
and procedure for follow-up reports are the same as those for the initial report.
10.3.1 Safety Reporting to Investigators, IRBs or IECs, 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 or 
IECs, as applicable, in accordance with national regulations in the countries where the study is 
conducted. 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 an investigational medicinal product or that would be 
sufficient to consider changes in the investigational medicinal products administration or in the 
overall conduct of the trial. The investigational site also will forward a copy of all expedited 
reports to his or her IRB or IEC in accordance with national regulations.

DATA HANDLING AND RECORDKEEPING
The full details of procedures for data handling will be documented in the Data Management Plan. 
AEs, PTEs, medical history, and concurrent conditions will be coded using the Medical Dictionary 
for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Drugs will be coded using the World Health Organization
Drug Dictionary.
12.1
CRFs
Completed eCRFs are required for each subject who signs an informed consent.
The sponsor or its designee will supply investigative 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 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.
The principal investigator must review the eCRFs for completeness and accuracy and must sign 
and date the appropriate eCRFs as indicated. Furthermore, the investigator must retain full 
responsibility for the accuracy and authenticity of all data entered on the eCRFs.
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.
12.2
Record Retention
The investigator agrees to keep the records stipulated in Section 12.1 and those documents that 
include (but are not limited to) the study-specific documents, the identification log of all 
participating subjects, medical records, temporary media such as thermal sensitive paper should be 
copied and certified, source worksheets, all original signed and dated informed consent forms, 
subject authorization forms regarding the use of personal health information (if separate from the 
informed consent forms), electronic copy of eCRFs, including the audit trail, and detailed records 
of drug disposition to enable evaluations or audits from regulatory authorities, the sponsor or its 
designees. Furthermore, International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) E6 Section 4.9.5 
requires the investigator to retain essential documents specified in ICH E6 (Section 8) until at least

treatment assignment. This document will provide further details regarding the definition of 
analysis variables and analysis methodology to address all study objectives.
A blinded data review will be conducted prior to unblinding of subject’s treatment assignment. 
This review will assess the accuracy and completeness of the study database, subject evaluability, 
and appropriateness of the planned statistical methods.
13.1.1 Analysis Sets
In this study, 3 kinds of analysis sets are defined: FAS, PPS and safety analysis set. The FAS, the 
main analysis set used for primary efficacy analysis, will be defined as “all subjects who were 
randomized and received at least 1 dose of the study drug.” The definition of each analysis set will 
be described in the SAP. 
13.1.2 Analysis of Demographics and Other Baseline Characteristics
Demographics and other baseline characteristics will be summarized overall and by treatment 
group using the FAS.
13.1.3 Efficacy Analysis
(1) Primary endpoint and analytical methods

TAK-438 treatment group minus the lansoprazole group) and the 2-sided 95% CI will be provided. 
Eradication rate of H pylori and the 2-sided 95% CI will be provided by treatment group. 
Healing rate of gastric ulcer during the 4-week treatment
The same analyses as the primary analyses of the primary endpoint will be conducted.
Gastrointestinal symptoms associated with gastric ulcer
For each symptom (epigastric pain [postprandial, fasting, nocturnal], abdominal bloating, 
nausea/vomiting, heartburn, lack of appetite), the frequency distribution will be provided by 
treatment group, and the point estimates and 2-sided 95% CIs will be calculated, and the point 
estimates and 2-sided 95% CIs of the proportion differences between the treatment groups will be 
calculated.
(3) Multiple Comparison/Multiplicity
Statistical inference will be performed at a 2-sided 0.05 level of significance or via 2-sided 95% 
CIs. Adjustment for multiplicity will be performed for the primary efficacy endpoint and the 
secondary efficacy endpoints in the following order under the closed testing procedure: 

The primary endpoint of healing rate of gastric ulcer during the 8-week treatment will be 
tested for noninferiority between the TAK-438 group and the lansoprazole group based on
the FAS. If the lower bound of the 95% CI is ≥-8%, noninferiority for TAK-438 relative to 
lansoprazole with regard to gastric ulcer healing will be declared.

If the previous test is successful, the secondary endpoint of eradication rate of H pylori will be 
tested for noninferiority between the TAK-438 group and the lansoprazole group based on the 
FAS. If the lower bound of the 95% CI of the difference is ≥-10%, noninferiority for TAK-438 
relative to lansoprazole with regard to H pylori eradication will be declared.

If the previous test is successful, the primary endpoint of healing rate of gastric ulcer during 
the 8-week treatment will be tested for superiority between the TAK-438 group and the 
lansoprazole group based on the FAS. If the lower bound of the 95% CI is ≥0%, superiority for 
TAK-438 relative to lansoprazole with regard to gastric ulcer healing will be declared.

If the previous test is successful, the secondary endpoint of eradication rate of H pylori will be 
tested for superiority between the TAK-438 group and the lansoprazole group based on the 
FAS. If the lower bound of the 95% CI of the difference is ≥0%, superiority for TAK-438 
relative to lansoprazole with regard to H pylori eradication will be declared.

with markedly abnormal values for laboratory tests, vital signs, and ECG parameters will be 
tabulated. No statistical testing or inferential statistics will be generated.
13.2
Interim Analysis and Criteria for Early Termination
No interim analysis is planned.
13.3
Determination of Sample Size
Assuming that the true Week 4 or Week 8 healing rate of gastric ulcers is 93.4% for both TAK-438 
and lansoprazole, and assuming that the dropout rate is up to 20%, a sample size of 415 subjects 
per group will provide 98% power to establish noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% CI with a -8% 
noninferiority margin and will provide a sample size of 290 subjects per group for regulatory 
requirements in China. Furthermore, assuming that the true eradication rate of H pylori is 90% for 
both TAK-438 and lansoprazole bismuth-containing quadruple therapies and that the dropout rate 
is up to 20%, a sample size of 270 H pylori positive subjects per group will provide 92% power to 
establish noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% CI with a -10% noninferiority margin and will 
provide a sample size of 232 subjects per group for regulatory requirements in China. The overall 
power is therefore approximately 90%. Assuming that the proportion of subjects with H pylori
infection at Baseline is 80%, a sample size of 332 subjects per group will provide 94% for 
noninferiority based on same effect size as overall population.
The assumptions of rates for ulcer healing and H pylori eradication are based on historical studies 
with lansoprazole, and literature on omeprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin/bismuth quadruple 
therapy (bismuth-containing) [3], respectively.
In a phase 3 study in Japan to compare the efficacy of lansoprazole and famotidine for healing of 
gastric ulcer, the Week 8 healing rate was 93.4% for lansoprazole and 82.5% for famotidine, 
corresponding to a difference of 10.9%. Additionally, in a study of lansoprazole versus placebo in 
US (M87-091), the Week 8 healing rate was 96.8% for lansoprazole 30 mg and 76.7% for placebo, 
corresponding to a difference of 20.1%. A noninferiority margin of -8% is specified for ulcer 
healing rate, which is less than the difference between lansoprazole and famotidine in the Japanese 
study and less than half of the difference between lansoprazole and placebo in the US study.
Limited data are available from clinical trials with PPI/amoxicillin/clarithromycin/bismuth 
quadruple therapy (bismuth-containing) [3,4]. In the past phase 3 trials, the eradication rate of H 
pylori with PPI-based triple therapy in HP+ subjects with gastric or duodenal ulcers was shown to 
be 86.4% to 89.2% for lansoprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin, 78.8% to 83.0% for 
omeprazole/amoxicillin/ clarithromycin, and 85.7% to 91.4% for 
rabeprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin; the range of these eradication rates (78.8% to 91.4%) 
corresponds to a difference of ≥10%. Hence the noninferiority margin is specified as -10%.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
14.1
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 institution guarantee access to source documents by the sponsor or its 
designee (contract research organization) and by the IRB or IEC.
All aspects of the study and its documentation will be subject to review by the sponsor or designee 
(as long as blinding is not jeopardized), including but not limited to the Investigator’s Binder, 
study medication, subject medical records, informed consent documentation, documentation of 
subject authorization to use personal health information (if separate from the informed consent 
forms), and review of eCRFs and associated source documents. It is important that the investigator 
and other study personnel are available during the monitoring visits and that sufficient time is 
devoted to the process.
14.2
Protocol Deviations
The investigator should not deviate from the protocol, except where necessary to eliminate an 
immediate hazard to study subjects. Should other unexpected circumstances arise that will require 
deviation from protocol-specified procedures, the investigator should consult with the medical 
monitor (and IRB or IEC, as required) to determine the appropriate course of action. There will be 
no exemptions (a prospective approved deviation) from the inclusion or exclusion criteria.
14.3
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 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 FDA, the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare 
products Regulatory Agency, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan). If the 
study site is contacted for an inspection by a regulatory body, the sponsor should be notified 
immediately. The investigator and institution guarantee access for quality assurance auditors to all 
study documents as described in Section 14.1.

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 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 B. 
The principles of Helsinki are addressed through the protocol and through appendices containing 
requirements for informed consent and investigator responsibilities.
15.1
IRB and/or IEC Approval
IRBs and IECs 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 or IEC. If any member of the IRB or IEC 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 or 
IEC 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 or IEC for approval. The IRB’s or IEC’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 (ie, before shipment of the sponsor-supplied drugs or study specific 
screening activity). The IRB or IEC approval must refer to the study by exact protocol title, 
number, and version date; identify versions of other documents (eg, informed consent form) 
reviewed; and state the approval date. The sponsor will [ship drug/notify site] once the sponsor has 
confirmed the adequacy of site regulatory documentation and, when applicable, the sponsor has 
received permission from competent authority to begin the trial. Until the site receives 
[drug/notification] no protocol activities, including screening may occur.
Sites must adhere to all requirements stipulated by their respective IRB or IEC. This may include 
notification to the IRB or IEC 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 or IEC, and submission of the investigator’s final status report to IRB or IEC. All 
IRB and IEC 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 or IEC and sponsor.

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, subject authorization form (if 
applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) describe 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 and the subject information sheet (if applicable) 
further explain the nature of the study, its objectives, and potential risks and benefits, as well as the 
date informed consent is given. The informed consent form will detail the requirements of the 
participant and the fact that he or she is free to withdraw at any time without giving a reason and 
without prejudice to his or her further medical care.
The investigator is responsible for the preparation, content, and IRB or IEC approval of the 
informed consent form and if applicable, the subject authorization form. The informed consent 
form, subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) must 
be approved by both the IRB or IEC and the sponsor prior to use.
The informed consent form, subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject information 
sheet (if applicable) must be written in a language fully comprehensible to the prospective subject. 
It is the responsibility of the investigator to explain the detailed elements of the informed consent 
form, subject authorization form (if applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) to the 
subject. Information should be given in both oral and written form whenever possible and in the 
manner deemed appropriate by the IRB or IEC. In the event the subject is not capable of rendering 
adequate written informed consent, then the subject’s legally acceptable representative may 
provide such consent for the subject in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The subject, or the subject’s legally acceptable representative, 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, or the subject’s legally acceptable representative, determines he or she will participate in 
the study, then the informed consent form and subject authorization form (if applicable) must be 
signed and dated by the subject, or the subject’s legally acceptable representative, at the time of 
consent and prior to the subject entering into the study. The subject or the subject’s legally 
acceptable representative should be instructed to sign using their legal names, not nicknames, 
using blue or black ballpoint ink. The investigator must also sign and date the informed consent 
form and subject authorization (if applicable) at the time of consent and prior to subject entering 
into the study; however, the sponsor may allow a designee of the investigator to sign to the extent 
permitted by applicable law.
Once signed, the original informed consent form, subject authorization form (if applicable), and 
subject information sheet (if applicable) will be stored in the investigator’s site file. The 
investigator must document the date the subject signs the informed consent in the subject’s 
medical record. Copies of the signed informed consent form, the signed subject authorization form 
(if applicable), and subject information sheet (if applicable) shall be given to the subject.

All revised informed consent forms must be reviewed and signed by relevant subjects or the 
relevant subject’s legally acceptable representative 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.
15.3
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, and subject initials 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, Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, 
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency), the sponsor’s designated auditors, and the 
appropriate IRBs and IECs 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 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 15.2).
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).
15.4
Publication, Disclosure, and Clinical Trial Registration Policy
15.4.1 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 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, other 
than study recruitment materials and/or advertisements, 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. Manuscript authorship for 
any peer-reviewed publication will appropriately reflect contributions to the production and 
review of the document. All publications and presentations must be prepared in accordance with 
this section and the Clinical Study Site Agreement. In the event of any discrepancy between the 
protocol and the Clinical Study Site Agreement, the Clinical Study Site Agreement will prevail.

15.4.2 Clinical Trial Registration
In order to ensure that information on clinical trials reaches the public in a timely manner and to 
comply with applicable law, regulation and guidance, Takeda will, at a minimum register all 
clinical trials conducted in subjects that it sponsors anywhere in the world on ClinicalTrials.gov or 
other publicly accessible websites before trial initiation. Takeda contact information, along with 
investigator’s city, country, and recruiting status will be registered and available for public 
viewing.
For some registries, Takeda will assist callers in locating trial sites closest to their homes by 
providing the investigator name, address, and phone number to the callers requesting trial 
information. Once subjects receive investigator contact information, they may call the site 
requesting enrollment into the trial. The investigative sites are encouraged to handle the trial 
inquiries according to their established subject screening process. If the caller asks additional 
questions beyond the topic of trial enrollment, they should be referred to the sponsor.
Any investigator who objects to Takeda providing this information to callers must provide Takeda 
with a written notice requesting that their information not be listed on the registry site.
15.4.3 Clinical Trial Results Disclosure
Takeda will post the results of this clinical trial, regardless of outcome, on ClinicalTrials.gov or 
other publicly accessible websites, as required by applicable laws and/or regulations.
15.5
Insurance and Compensation for Injury
Each subject in the study must be insured in accordance with the regulations applicable to the site 
where the subject is participating. If a local underwriter is required, then the sponsor or sponsor’s 
designee will obtain clinical study insurance against the risk of injury to clinical study subjects. 
Refer to the Clinical Study Site Agreement regarding the sponsor’s policy on subject 
compensation and treatment for injury. If the investigator has questions regarding this policy, he or 
she should contact the sponsor or sponsor’s designee.

Appendix E
Detailed Description of Amendments to Text
This document describes changes in reference to Amendment 01 of the Protocol (27 September 
2016).
The primary section(s) of the protocol affected by the changes in Amendment No. 02 are indicated. 
The corresponding text has been revised throughout the protocol.
Change 1: Added that only H pylori negative (HP-) subjects will be enrolled until the results of the 
TAK-438_115 DDI study are known.
The primary change occurs in Section 6.1 Study Design
Added text:
Enrollment of H pylori negative (HP-) subjects will be initiated first, until the 
availability of PK and safety data from a drug-drug interaction study to assess 
the effects of co-administration of TAK-438 with clarithromycin, amoxicillin, 
and bismuth as quadruple therapy in HP+ subjects.
Prior to the availability of the DDI study results, HP+ subjects who initially fail 
screening for the study will be treated according to the local routine clinical 
care.
Rationale for Change:
Enrollment of HP- subjects will be initiated first. As the proposed treatment regiment for HP+ 
subjects includes the coadministration of TAK-438 and quadruple therapy (clarithromycin, 
amoxicillin, and bismuth), enrollment of HP+ subjects will begin upon the availability of the PK 
and safety results from a TAK-438 H pylori eradication quadruple-therapy drug-drug interaction 
study (TAK 438_115).
The following sections also contain this change:

Section 2.0 STUDY SUMMARY

Section 4.2 Rationale for the Proposed Study.

Section 6.1 Study Design Figure 6.a

Section 7.1 Inclusion Criteria #3.
Change 2: Removal of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigen tests.
The primary change occurs in Section 7.2 Exclusion Criteria, #23

TAK-438
Study No. TAK-438_302
Page 88 of 95
Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02

Initial 
wording:
The subject has a known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or hepatitis infection, 
including hepatitis virus carriers (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis C 
virus [HCV]-antibody-positive) (the subject may be included in the study if he/she is 
HCV-antigen or HCV-RNA-negative).
Amended 
or new 
wording:
The subject has a known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or hepatitis infection, 
including hepatitis virus carriers (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] or hepatitis C 
virus [HCV]-antibody-positive) (the subject may be included in the study if he/she is 
HCV-antigen or HCVviral load-RNA-negative).
Rationale for Change:
HCV antigen and HCV RNA testings are not available at the central laboratory, and HCV viral 
load testing is a more recent technique than the former two tests.
Section 9.1.8 Procedures for Clinical Laboratory Samples Table 9.b also contains this change.
Change 3: Addition of the calculation of the ratio for pepsinogen I/II.
The primary change occurs in Section 13.1.4 Safety Analysis.
Initial 
wording:
Change from Baseline in clinical laboratory tests (including serum gastrin-17 and 
pepsinogen I/II), vital signs and quantitative ECG variables will be summarized by 
treatment group.
Amended 
or new 
wording:
Change from Baseline in clinical laboratory tests (including serum gastrin-17 and,
pepsinogen I/, II and I/II ratio), vital signs and quantitative ECG variables will be 
summarized by treatment group.
Rationale for Change:
For consistency with other studies in the Asia-Pacific TAK-438 program, and because pepsinogen 
I and II are biomarkers for gastric lesions.

Protocol Incorporating Amendment No. 02
21 December 2016
Rationale for Change:
The timing of the gastrin and pepsinogen testing is moved from Screening to Day 1 to reduce the 
subject burden, so that subjects who fail screening do not have to conduct these tests. Footnotes s
and t are added for clarification of study procedures and do not change the trial conduct. Footnote 
h was no longer appropriate due to the change in schedule, and was changed; footnote s was 
redundant once the change in footnote h was made.
The following sections also contain this change:

Section 9.3.1 Visit 1 (Screening)

Section 9.3.2 Visit 2 (includes Randomization)
Change 5: Exclusion criterion 19 is clarified to allow diagnostic biopsy.
The primary change occurs in Section 7.2 Exclusion Criteria #19.
Initial

Amended 
or new 
wording:
The subjects to be followed up will include both HP+ and HP- subjects with 
confirmed ulcer healing during the treatment period, and. HP+ subjects with no ulcer 
healing during treatment period will require one follow-up visit (F-2) to provide a 
post-study 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) to ascertain HP eradication status. 
HP- subjects with no ulcer healing are not required to be followed-up.
HP eradication status (in HP+ subjects) will be assessed by using 13C-UBT at visit 
F-2. 
Rationale for Change:
Details about potentially confusing 13C-UBT testing have been clarified.

OBJECTIVES
4.1
Primary Objectives
To demonstrate the noninferior efficacy of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in the treatment of 
subjects with gastric ulcer.
4.2
Secondary Objectives
To demonstrate the noninferiority of Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication with TAK-438 versus 
lansoprazole.
To compare the safety of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in subjects with gastric ulcer.
4.3
Study Design
This is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, 
noninferiority study of TAK-438 versus lansoprazole in subjects who have endoscopic evidence 
of gastric ulcer with or without H pylori infection.
Approximately 830 subjects across approximately 60 sites in Asia will be randomized in a 
1:1 ratio to either TAK-438 20 mg or to lansoprazole 30 mg (415 subjects per treatment arm). 
The randomization will be stratified by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) status, ie,

TAK-438: 415 subjects.

Lansoprazole: 415 subjects.
Enrollment of H pylori negative (ie, non-Helicobacter pylori infected) (HP-) subjects will be 
initiated first, until the availability of PK and safety data from a drug-drug interaction study to 
assess the effects of co-administration of TAK-438 with clarithromycin, amoxicillin, and 
bismuth as quadruple therapy in Helicobacter pylori infected (HP+) subjects.
Treatment Period:
A schematic of the study design is included as Figure 4.a. A schedule of assessments is listed in 
Table 4.a.
Dosing will begin on Day 1 after randomization (Visit 2) and last for up to 8 weeks. Study drug 
administration will depend on the H pylori infection status of the subject.
Administration of the 2 treatments will be according to the following regimens:

H pylori infected (HP+) subjects will take TAK-438 20 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg (blinded 
with matching placebo) twice daily (BID) in addition to bismuth-containing quadruple 
antibiotic therapy (amoxicillin 1 g BID, clarithromycin 500 mg BID, and bismuth potassium 
citrate/bismuth tripotassium dicitrate 600 mg [equivalent to 220 mg bismuth] BID) for 
2 weeks. After 2 weeks of eradication therapy, subjects will be required to take only the 
TAK-438 or lansoprazole once daily (QD) for up to 6 weeks (ie, up to a total of 8 weeks of 
treatment). The subject remains in the same treatment arm throughout the study duration.


Non-H pylori infected (HP-) subjects will take TAK-438 or lansoprazole (blinded with 
matching placebo) QD for up to 8 weeks.
For all subjects, ulcer healing rates will be assessed by endoscopy at Weeks 4 and 8 of treatment. 
With or without endoscopic evidence of gastric ulcer healing, the treatment duration of the study 
is no more than 8 weeks. 
Subjects (HP+ or HP-) with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer at Week 4 or at Week 8 will 
discontinue treatment at that time and enter into the Follow-up period.
HP+ subjects with no healing at Week 8 will discontinue treatment and enter Follow-up. 
HP- subjects with no ulcer healing by Week 8 of the treatment period will be considered 
“completed cases” and be discontinued from the study.
Follow-up Period:
The subjects to be followed up will include both HP+ and HP- subjects with confirmed ulcer 
healing during the treatment period. HP+ subjects with no ulcer healing during treatment will 
require one follow-up visit (F-2) to provide a post-study 13C-UBT to ascertain HP eradication 
status. HP- subjects with no ulcer healing are not required to be followed-up.
The recovery of serum gastrin-17 level in follow-up period will be monitored for a maximum of 
4 weeks in subjects with endoscopic healing of gastric ulcer confirmed during the treatment 
period. The follow-up period ends when the recovery of serum gastrin-17 level is confirmed. No 
additional follow-up is planned for subjects without recovery during the 4-week follow-up 
period.

DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
Assuming that the true Week 4 or Week 8 healing rate of gastric ulcers is 93.4% for both 
TAK-438 and lansoprazole, and assuming that the dropout rate is up to 20%, a sample size of 
415 subjects per group will provide 98% power to establish noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% 
CI with a -8% noninferiority margin and will provide a sample size of 290 subjects per group for 
regulatory requirements in China. Furthermore, assuming that the true eradication rate of 
H pylori is 90% for both TAK-438 and lansoprazole bismuth-containing quadruple therapies and 
that the dropout rate is up to 20%, a sample size of 270 H pylori positive subjects per group will 
provide 92% power to establish noninferiority using a 2-sided 95% CI with a -10% 
noninferiority margin and will provide a sample size of 232 subjects per group for regulatory 
requirements in China. The overall power is therefore approximately 90%. Assuming that the 
proportion of subjects with H pylori infection at Baseline is 80%, a sample size of 332 subjects 
per group will provide 94% for noninferiority based on same effect size as overall population.
The assumptions of rates for ulcer healing and H pylori eradication are based on historical 
studies with lansoprazole, and literature on omeprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin/bismuth 
quadruple therapy (bismuth-containing) [3], respectively.
In a phase 3 study in Japan to compare the efficacy of lansoprazole and famotidine for healing of 
gastric ulcer, the Week 8 healing rate was 93.4% for lansoprazole and 82.5% for famotidine, 
corresponding to a difference of 10.9%. Additionally, in a study of lansoprazole versus placebo 
in US (M87-091), the Week 8 healing rate was 96.8% for lansoprazole 30 mg and 76.7% for 
placebo, corresponding to a difference of 20.1%. A noninferiority margin of -8% is specified for 
ulcer healing rate, which is less than the difference between lansoprazole and famotidine in the 
Japanese study and less than half of the difference between lansoprazole and placebo in the US 
study.
Limited data are available from clinical trials with PPI/amoxicillin/clarithromycin/bismuth 
quadruple therapy (bismuth-containing) [3,4]. In the past phase 3 trials, the eradication rate of 
H pylori with PPI-based triple therapy in HP+ subjects with gastric or gastric ulcers was shown 
to be 86.4% to 89.2% for lansoprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin, 78.8% to 83.0% for 
omeprazole/amoxicillin/ clarithromycin, and 85.7% to 91.4% for 
rabeprazole/amoxicillin/clarithromycin; the range of these eradication rates (78.8% to 91.4%) 
corresponds to a difference of ≥10%. Hence the noninferiority margin is specified as -10%.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND PRESENTATION
7.1
General Principles 
All statistical analyses will be conducted using SAS® Version 9.4, or higher.
All CIs, statistical tests, and resulting P-values will be reported as 2-sided and will be assessed at 
α=0.05 significance level unless otherwise stated. P-values will be rounded to 4 decimal places 
prior to assessment of statistical significance.
Means, 25th percentile (Q1), medians, and 75th percentile (Q3) will be presented to 1 more 
decimal place than the recorded data. The standard deviations (SDs) will be presented to 2 more 
decimal places than the recorded data. Minimum and maximum values will be presented using 
the same number of decimal places as the recorded data. CIs about a parameter estimate will be 
presented using the same number of decimal places as the parameter estimate.
Where appropriate, variables will be summarized descriptively by study visit. For the categorical 
variables, the count and proportions of each possible value will be tabulated by treatment group. 
The denominator for the proportion will be based on the number of subjects who provided 
non-missing responses to the categorical variable. The proportion will be reported to 1 decimal 
place.
For continuous variables, the number of subjects with non-missing values, mean, Q1, median, 
Q3, SD, minimum, and maximum values will be tabulated unless otherwise noted. 
7.1.1

The following definitions and calculation formulas will be used.

Descriptive statistics: number of subjects with non-missing values, mean, SD, maximum, 
minimum, Q1, median, Q3.

Percentage of subjects with endoscopically confirmed healing of gastric ulcer (ie, the rate of 
endoscopic healing): The proportion of subjects in whom the disappearance of all white coats 
associated with gastric ulcers has been endoscopically confirmed.

Screening Failure: Subject who is not eligible prior to randomization.

Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE): An AE whose date of onset occurs on or after 
the start of study drug. A TEAE whose relationship to study drug is missing will be 
considered drug-related. A TEAE whose intensity is missing will be considered severe.

Significant TEAE: Any TEAE (not including serious TEAEs) that led to an intervention, 
including withdrawal of drug treatment, dose increase, dose reduction, dose interrupted or 
significant additional concomitant therapy.

Pretreatment Events: A PTE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical 
investigation subject who has signed informed consent to participate in a study but prior to 
administration of any study drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship 
with study participation.

Definition of Study Days and Baseline

Study Days: Study Day 1 is defined as the date on which a subject is administered their first 
dose of the medication [‘Date of Dose’ in First Dose (QD Treatment) CRF page for HP-
subjects; ‘Date of Dose’ in First Dose (BID Treatment) for HP+ subjects]. Other study days 
are defined relative to the Study Day 1 with Day 1 being Study Day 1 and Day -1 being the 
day prior to Study Day 1.
The day after the last dose of the study medication will be defined as Follow-up Day 1. Other 
follow-up days are defined relative to Follow-up Day 1. 
If the date of an event is on or after the date of first dose then Study Day = date of event –
date of first dose + 1. If the date of an event is prior to the date of first dose then Study Day = 
date of event – date of first dose.

Baseline values are defined as the last observed value before the first dose of study 
medication on Day 1 (including a screening value or unscheduled assessment, if necessary).
Duration of Exposure

Duration of exposure to double-blind study medication (days): date of last dose of double-
blind study medication - date of first dose of double-blind study medication + 1.

Definition of Study Visit Windows
For each visit, all evaluable observation (ie, non-missing) obtained in the corresponding time 
interval (ie, window) will be used. This window will establish a time interval around which data 
will be considered for the analysis of the scheduled visit pertaining to that window. If more than 
one observation lies within the same visit window, the observation with the closest Study Day to 
the scheduled Study Day will be used. If there are two observations equidistant to the scheduled 
Study Day, the later observation will be used. If there are two observations with the same Study 
Day, the earlier observation will be used. The visit windows and applicable study day ranges are 
presented in Table 7.c. In the case that the date of last dose of study medication is missing, the
last visit date of the study will be used as last dose of study medication.

7.1.3
Data Handling Rules
7.1.3.1
Handling of Rate of Endoscopic Healing
A subject in whom the disappearance of all white coats associated with gastric ulcers has been 
endoscopically confirmed at Week 4 or Week 8 will be considered as a healed subject. Subjects 
who do not have any endoscopy data during this period will be treated as missing. Subjects who 
do not meet this requirement will be considered as 'not healed'. Healing rate will be calculated 
from the healed and not healed subjects.

Handling of Percentage of Subjects with Posttreatment Resolution of Each 
Gastrointestinal Symptom Associated with Gastric Ulcer at Week 2 through 8
Each gastrointestinal symptom related to gastric ulcer (epigastric pain [postprandial, 
fasting/nocturnal], abdominal bloating, nausea/vomiting, heartburn, lack of appetite) will be 
captured at the start of the treatment period (Visit 2) in “Gastrointestinal Symptoms” eCRF page.

At all visits from Visit 2 through the completion of the study drug administration, symptoms 
noted at Visit 2 will be followed up. If any symptom resolved during the treatment period, the 
date of resolution will be recorded in the “Gastrointestinal Symptoms” eCRF page. Subjects with 
symptom who do not have any information on either date of resolution or end of treatment status 
will be excluded from analysis for corresponding symptom. Subjects without will also be.
Percentage of subjects with posttreatment resolution of each gastrointestinal symptom associated 
with gastric ulcer at Week 2 through 8 = (number of subjects with date of resolution reported in 
"If Yes, and resolved, date of resolution" field at the specified gastrointestinal symptom) / 
(number of subjects with “Yes” selected for the specified gastrointestinal symptom associated 
with gastric ulcer at the start of treatment period) * 100 (rounded to 1 decimal place).
7.1.3.3
Handling of EQ-5D-5L
The EQ-5D-5L index values will be calculated from the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system scores 
based on the EQ-5D-5L Crosswalk value sets. If any of the questions are not answered, the EQ-
5D-5L index value of the day will be treated as missing.
7.1.3.4
Handling of Gastrin/Pepsinogen samples had been exposed to ambient temperature
Some of gastrin samples and pepsinogen samples were identified to be kept at had been exposed 
to ambient temperature for more than 2 hours. As for the samples kept at ambient temperature 
for more than 2 hours, there is no sample stability data for Gastrin & Pepsinogen I/II assays, the 
testing results for these samples cannot be considered as reliable. Therefore, the affected sample 
results will be excluded from the analysis to ensure data integrity.

Changes in the Statistical Analysis Plan 
The changes from the original SAP (Version: 2.0, Date: 21 April 2020) to the amended SAP 
were described below with a rationale for changes provided.

It has been found that the date of last dose of study medication for one patient. Hence, it 
has been described in section 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 that the end of study will be used instead to 
complete the missing value.

Since missing case for compliance described in section 7.7.1 and 7.7.2 does not exist, 
“Missing” category has been removed.

Some gastrin samples and pepsinogen samples were exposed to ambient temperature 
for more than 2 hours. As for the samples kept at ambient temperature for more than 
2 hours, there is no sample stability data for Gastrin & Pepsinogen I/II assays, the 
testing results for these samples cannot be considered as reliable. Therefore, the 
section 7.1.3.4 has been added to exclude the Gastrin/Pepsinogen sample which was 
exposed to ambient temperature from the analysis.

For the exclusion criteria 19 in protocol, upper GI endoscopic therapy may have the 
impact on efficacy/safety evaluation. Additionally, for exclusion criteria 20, 
Zollinger-Ellision syndrome is a disease which secrets gastrin, results in overproduction 
of gastric acid, and it will also impact the efficacy/safety evaluation. Therefore, to 
exclude the Subjects who met exclusion criteria #19 or #20 from PPS, the description 
has changed.

For NDA submission of duodenal ulcer in Taiwan and Korea, subgroup analysis in each 
country was required. Since it is possible that same analysis would also be required for

9.2.1
Hematology, Serum Chemistry, Urinalysis, Vital Signs, and 12-lead ECG (except 
Upper MAV Criteria of QTcF Interval)
For each parameter, all evaluable data (ie, non-missing data) obtained up to Follow-up Day 14
will be classified as a MAV or not. The criteria in the table below will be used.
For each parameter and subject, classifications will be made according to the conditions i) to iii) 
provided below. The lower and the upper criteria will be considered separately.
i)
A subject with at least one evaluable data after baseline that meets the MAV criteria will 
be classified as a subject with MAV.
ii) A subject who does not meet condition i) and has at least one evaluable data after 
baseline that doesn't meet the MAV criteria will be considered as a subject without MAV.
iii) A subject who does not meet conditions i) or ii) will be excluded from the analysis of 
MAV for that parameter.

12-lead ECG (Upper MAV Criteria of QTcF Interval)
All evaluable data (ie, non-missing data) obtained up to Follow-up Day 14 will be classified as a 
MAV or not. The criteria in the table below will be used. Note that the observed value and the 
change from baseline used for classification should be measurements taken on the same day.
For each subject, classifications will be made according to the conditions i) to iii) provided 
below.
i)
A subject with at least one evaluable data after baseline that meets the MAV criteria will 
be classified as a subject with MAV.
ii) A subject who does not meet condition i) and has at least one evaluable data after 
baseline that meets any of the following will be considered as a subject without MAV.

Observed value is less than 450 msec and not missing.

Change from baseline is less than 30 msec and not missing, and observed value is less 
than 500 msec and not missing.
iii) A subject who does not meet conditions i) or ii) will be excluded from the analysis of 
MAV.

Criteria for Elevated Liver Enzyme
All evaluable data (ie, non-missing data) obtained up to Follow-up Day 14 will be used to 
determine whether each criteria for elevated liver enzyme in the table below is met or not. If 
there is more than one parameter that need to be considered for a criteria, parameter 
measurements taken on the same day will be used. For each criteria and subject, classifications 
will be made according to the conditions i) to iii) provided below.
i)
A subject who met criteria (a) at least once after baseline will be considered to have met 
the criteria for elevated liver enzyme.
ii) If condition i) is not met but if criteria (b) is met at least once after baseline, then the 
subject will be considered to have not met the criteria for elevated liver enzyme.
iii) If neither i) nor ii) is met, then the subject will be excluded from the analysis for the 
criteria for elevated liver enzyme.
