A Study of TAK-062 in Treatment of Active Celiac Disease in Participants Attempting a Gluten-Free Diet

Study Purpose

The main aim is to see how TAK-062 works to reduce celiac-related symptoms and improve small intestinal damage due to gluten exposure, in participants with celiac disease (CeD) attempting to maintain a gluten-free diet (GFD) in treated participants versus placebo controls.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Has an adequate comprehension of a GFD assessed by completion of a knowledge test after viewing of educational materials. 2. Has at least 1 CeD-related GI symptom of moderate or greater severity, as measured by the CDSD, on at least 3 days out of any consecutive 7-day period during the screening period (Week -8 visit until Week -4 visit), felt by the investigator to be related to gluten exposure. The CeD-related symptom(s) may vary day by day as long as the severity of at least 1 symptom is moderate or greater.

Has a known or suspected severe enteric infection (viral, bacterial, or parasitic) within 6 months before randomization. Severe enteric infection is defined as requiring emergency room visit or hospitalization or treatment with antibiotics or anti-infectives due to infection. Non enteric viral infections, either resolved or well-controlled are not exclusionary. 11. Has a contraindication to endoscopy with duodenal biopsy. --Contraindication to VCE (strictures, anastomoses, etc) is not an exclusion if the participant is able to complete the other aspects of the study. 12. Has additional food allergies (tapioca syrup, oats, almonds, rice crisp, chocolate, almond, butter, wheat gluten, cocoa butter, oat flour, glycerin, sunflower lecithin, salt, and natural flavors) to nongluten ingredients in the SIGE bar study food or significant symptoms upon ingestion of the gluten-free SIGE bar during screening. 13. Has a history of intolerance, hypersensitivity, or idiosyncratic reaction to an aminoglycoside. 14. Has a known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or positive tests for hepatitis B or C. The participant has a known clinically significant chronically active hepatopathy of any origin, including cirrhosis, and participants with persistent positive hepatitis B virus surface antigen and quantitative hepatitis B virus polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or positive serology for hepatitis C virus (HCV) and quantitative HCV PCR within 6 months before the screening visit. 15. Has known or suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as determined by the investigator within the past month or COVID-19-related symptoms that have not resolved (direct viral or serologic testing may be performed according to site procedures at the discretion of the investigator). 16. Has a known hypersensitivity reaction and/or allergy, including anaphylaxis, to wheat and/or gluten. 17. Has known history of hypersensitivity, idiosyncratic reaction, or intolerance to any ingredients or excipients in TAK-062 and/or placebo. Region-specific

Additional Details

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-062. TAK-062 designed to break down gluten in the stomach and is being tested to treat people who have active CeD, attempting to maintain a GFD. The study will enroll approximately 377 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups in Cohort 1: 1. Cohort 1 (Age 18-75): TAK-062 Placebo + SIGE Gluten-Bar and Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 2. Cohort 1 (Age 18-75): TAK-062 Dose 1 + SIGE Gluten-Bar and Gluten-free SIGE Bar. After the interim analysis, Cohort 1 data will be reviewed by an external independent data monitoring committee (DMC), and based on the Sponsor's decision, approximately 36 adult participants will be enrolled in Cohort 2 and randomly assigned to one of the five study drug and SIGE treatment groups (Groups a-e), and approximately 21 adolescent participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to Groups d, e, and f (adolescents only). Adolescents in Cohort 2 will receive only gluten-free SIGE bars. 1. Cohort 2 (Age 18-75): TAK-062 Placebo + SIGE Gluten-Bar and Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 2. Cohort 2 (Age 18-75): TAK-062 Dose 2 + SIGE Gluten-Bar and Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 3. Cohort 2 (Age 18-75): TAK-062 Dose 3 + SIGE Gluten-Bar and Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 4. Cohort 2 (Age 12-75): TAK-062 Placebo + Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 5. Cohort 2 (Age 12-75): TAK-062 Dose 1 + Gluten-free SIGE Bar. 6. Cohort 2 (Age 12-17): TAK-062 Dose 2 + Gluten-free SIGE Bar. This multi-center trial will be conducted in the United States (US), Canada, United Kingdom and the European Union. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 36 weeks.
