A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the Oral GnRH Antagonist TAK-385, Together With a Leuprorelin Observational Cohort, in Patients With Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of TAK 385 for achieving and
maintaining testosterone suppression (<50 ng/dL).

The drug being tested in this study is called relugolix (TAK-385). Relugolix is being tested
to treat people who have prostate cancer. This study will look at achieving and maintaining
testosterone suppression (<50 ng/dL).

The study enrolled 136 patients. Participants were randomly assigned (by chance, like
flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups—which remained undisclosed to the
patient and study doctor during the study (unless there was an urgent medical need):

- Relugolix 80 mg

- Relugolix 120 mg

- Leuprorelin 22.5 mg

Relugolix was administered starting with a 320 mg (loading dose), followed by relugolix 80 mg
or 120 mg tablets, for 48 weeks plus an optional 48-week extension at the investigator's
discretion. Patients randomized to leuprorelin were administered 22.5 mg subcutaneously on
Day 1 and every 12 weeks for 4 injections.

This multicenter trial was conducted in the United States and Canada. The overall time to
participate in this study was 114.4 weeks. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic
and at 12 weeks after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Inclusion Criteria

Each participant must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the
study:

1. Male participant 18 years or older.

2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma.

3. Candidate for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the management of
hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with 1 of the following clinical disease states: 1)
advanced localized disease not suitable for primary therapy, 2) evidence of
prostate-specific antigen (PSA) biochemical or clinical relapse following primary
surgery or radiation therapy of curative intent, or 3) newly diagnosed metastatic
disease that is asymptomatic or not threatening to vital organs.

4. Appropriate serum testosterone and serum PSA concentration at screening as specified
in the protocol.

5. A body mass index (BMI) ≥ 18.0 at screening and/or baseline.

6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 at screening
and/or baseline.

7. Male participants, even if surgically sterilized, who agree to practice effective
barrier contraception or agree to practice true abstinence.

8. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study-related
procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may
be withdrawn by the participant at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

9. Suitable venous access for the study-required blood sampling, including
pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) Sampling.

Exclusion Criteria

Participants meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in the
study:

1. In participants with advanced, localized M0N1 or M1 disease, the presence of
clinically significant symptoms or threat to vital organs requiring immediate
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) /combined or complete androgen blockade (CAB)
therapy, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy.

2. Previously received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for more than 8 months total
duration (if ADT was received for 8 months or less, then that ADT must have been
completed at least 2 years prior to screening).

3. Visceral metastases (liver or lung).

4. Features of the participant's medical condition that may make ADT unnecessary or not
indicated.

5. Scheduled for additional surgical or (salvage) radiation therapy within 6 months after
baseline evaluations.

6. History of surgical castration.

7. Diagnosis of or treatment for another malignancy within the 2 years before the first
dose of study drug, or previously diagnosed with another malignancy and have any
evidence of residual disease. Participants with nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma
in situ of any type are not excluded if they have undergone complete resection.

8. Abnormal screening and/or baseline laboratory values as specified in the protocol.

9. History of any significant cardiac condition within 6 months before receiving the
first dose of study drug.

10. Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities as specified in the protocol

11. Congenital long QT syndrome.

12. Current use of Class IA (e.g., quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (e.g.,
amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic medications.

13. Uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medical therapy. Participants may be
re-screened after referral and further management of hypertension.

14. Known, previously diagnosed human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active
chronic hepatitis B or C, life-threatening illness unrelated to prostate cancer, or
any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion,
potentially interfere with participation in this study. Specific screening for chronic
viral illness is at the discretion of the site and/or local institutional review board
(IRB).

15. Treatment with any investigational products within 3 months before the first dose of
study drug.

16. A primary family member (spouse, parent, child, or sibling of the participant) is
involved in the conduct of the study or is a study site employee.

17. Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the oral
absorption or tolerance of TAK-385, including difficulty swallowing tablets.

18. Use of any medication, or food products listed in the excluded medications and dietary
products table within 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug. Participant must
have no history of amiodarone use in the 6 months before the first dose of TAK-385.

19. Admission or evidence of alcohol or drug abuse or use of illicit drugs.
