Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of TAK-385 in hormone treatment-naïve participants with non-metastatic prostate cancer.

Detailed description: The objective of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of TAK-385 in hormone treatment-naive participants with non-metastatic prostate cancer. This study consists of two parts: Part A, multiple dose-rising (MRD) phase and Part B, an expansion phase.

3. Japanese male participants 20 or more years of age at the time of informed consent.
