Singapore: Takeda Global Research and Development, a wholly owned subsidiary of Takeda Pharmaceutical, has filed seven new drug applications (NDAs) during the past eight months in several Asian countries.

Typically, NDA approvals take about 12-to-18 months to be approved by health regulatory bodies depending on the respective countries/territories.

In the meantime, we are working closely with regulatory agencies and with our local affiliates in each country to ensure that new medicines are made available to patients and physicians in Asia as rapidly as possible."

In China, TGRD Asia works closely with Takeda Shanghai Development Center (TSDC) to conduct Takeda's clinical development activities within the Asian region. TSDC has a focus on China for non-oncology, and across Asia for oncology with Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company.
