↑ 0%Takeda breaks up with Denali, dumps dementia drug. April 6, 2026 | Takeda and Denali Therapeutics first partnered in early 2018 to advance drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. One asset, for Alzheimer's disease, was previously discontinued after an FDA hold and disappointing early data. More than eight years after linking up, Takeda and Denali Therapeutics are going their separate ways, with the Japanese pharma handing all rights to a dementia program back to Denali. Takeda's decision to terminate its partnership with Denali "was driven by strategic considerations," the California biotech said in an SEC document dated April 3, and "is not related to efficacy or safety data." The Japanese pharma informed Denali of its decision that same day, according to the securities filing. The companies inked their partnership in January 2018, with Takeda fronting $150 million and promising unspecified milestone payments. Takeda and Denali had also previously been working on the TREM2 agonist DNL919 for Alzheimer's disease - but this molecule's development path has been bumpy. In January 2022, the FDA slapped a clinical hold on the asset, though the partners at the time did not disclose why. The hold was eventually lifted, but Takeda and Denali in August 2023 nevertheless discontinued DNL919's development, pointing to Phase 1 findings suggesting the drug had only a "narrow therapeutic window." In 2021, Takeda also exercised its option to co-develop and co-commercialize DNL593, a protein replacement therapy that can cross the blood-brain barrier, for frontotemporal dementia. That asset has since been returned to Denali, the biotech said on April 3. "We are looking forward to advancing DNL593 independently," CEO Ryan Watts said in a press statement that day, adding that the company "remain[s] confident" in the scientific rationale behind DNL593. DNL593 works by replacing the progranulin protein, which in frontotemporal dementia is deficient, leading to lysosomal defects that, in turn, result in the accumulation of toxins across different tissues. The asset is currently in a Phase 1/2 study, enrollment for which has completed with 40 recruited participants, according to Denali's April 3 release. There have been no reported safety signals to date, the biotech noted. Phase 1/2 data for DNL593 are expected before the end of this year, Watts said. Takeda's pullback comes just days after Denali delivered a much-needed win for the rare disease space with the FDA approval of its Hunter syndrome therapy Avlayah. Like DNL593, Avlayah works by replacing a deficient player, this time targeting the IDS enzyme, which under healthy conditions clears toxic byproducts from several organs, including the brain. Avlayah is the first Hunter syndrome therapy in nearly 20 years and is the first FDA-approved treatment to exploit the transferrin pathway to cross the blood-brain barrier. Avlayah is the first Hunter syndrome therapy approved to address the condition's neurologic complications, according to Tracy Beth Høeg, acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Pharma giant Takeda to lay off nearly 250 local workers in latest job cutting. By Marin Wolf Globe Staff, Updated March 30, 2026, 10:00 a.m. Takeda Pharmaceuticals will lay off nearly 250 workers in Cambridge, the state's largest biopharma employer announced through a state filing. The layoffs will begin in July, although some will take place later in the year or in 2027. All affected Massachusetts employees work at the company's 500 Kendall St. location, according to the filing posted Friday. The workforce reduction is part of a cost-saving plan approved by Takeda's board of directors on March 25 that is expected to result in annual savings of about $1.25 billion by 2028, according to a company statement. Another 387 workers in other states may also be laid off as part of the plan.
Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Massachusetts' largest biopharmaceutical employer, will lay off 247 employees at its Cambridge headquarters as part of a broader corporate restructuring. The redundancies begin on 1 July and could extend into 2027. The Japanese company announced cost-cutting measures expected to save approximately $1.2 billion by 2028. An additional 387 employees will be laid off in other US states. Affected workers are receiving transition assistance, including help identifying internal opportunities. Takeda currently has around 700 open positions, including 300 in Massachusetts, with internal candidates given priority. The company employs more than 5,700 people in Massachusetts and occupies approximately 2.8 million square feet of real estate. This follows 137 layoffs announced in October and over 800 Massachusetts redundancies in 2024.
Takeda restructuring could push more than 600 US staffers out of jobs. March 30, 2026 | Takeda's layoffs include cutting 247 people in Massachusetts. The workforce reduction is meant to help offset investments in areas including a product launch for oral drug candidate zasocitinib, for which the pharma today announced positive Phase 3 data. The workforce impact of Takeda's recently announced reorganization has become clearer. The Japan-based pharma estimates the restructuring will affect around 634 U.S. employees, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notice. Takeda began notifying employees on March 25, the same day it announced a business transformation, which includes streamlining corporate functions. However, the company noted in the WARN notice that the total number affected could change as staff pursue and accept redeployment opportunities across its global network. Takeda's cuts include 247 employees in Cambridge, Massachusetts, effective July 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2027. To understand where other layoffs will take place, BioSpace has requested a copy of a document mentioned in the WARN notice that lists the number of individuals affected by state. In last week's announcement, Takeda noted that the restructuring, which includes "strategically prioritizing resources," is expected to save more than 200 billion yen - about $1.25 billion - by fiscal year 2028. The company explained that the savings will offset investments needed to prepare for multiple launches, including oveporexton, usfertide and zasocitinib; progress the late-stage pipeline; and support strategic technology investments. Takeda announced today promising data for zasocitinib, an oral tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor, in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. In the Phase 3 Latitude PsO 3001 and 3002 studies, more than half of patients treated with the drug candidate achieved clear or almost clear skin at week 16, a key measure of treatment success, according to the pharma. Zasocitinib also demonstrated statistically significant improvements in complete skin clearance. Takeda expects to submit a new drug application for zasocitinib in fiscal year 2026. The pharma acquired zasocitinib from Nimbus Therapeutics for $4 billion at the end of 2022 to challenge Bristol Myers Squibb's kinase inhibitor Sotyktu. Takeda in December 2025 reported positive results from the Phase 3 LATITUDE studies, noting that when compared with placebo and Amgen's Otezla, about 30% of treated patients achieved completely clear skin, or a score of 100 on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). The company's latest layoffs join a series of cuts from the past two years. Takeda let go of nearly 1,500 employees in the U.S. and Austria in 2024 and early 2025 and 137 in October 2025. In January, news broke that 243 people would be laid off across its U.S. operations.
Takeda Healthcare Philippines, Inc. wins at Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards 2026. The access programme and advocacy initiative closed affordability gaps for Filipino patients. Takeda Healthcare Philippines, Inc. won Most Differentiated Service of the Year - Philippines and Patient Advocacy Program of the Year - Philippines in the Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards 2026 for its access model that supports patients from disease awareness to therapy completion. In a healthcare system where many patients face delayed diagnosis, long referral pathways, and high out-of-pocket costs, the company built a differentiated and sustainable service anchored on its Patient Assistance Program (PAP). The programme follows a clear principle: therapy completion should not depend on a patient's ability to pay. PAP uses an affordability-based assessment to evaluate each eligible patient's circumstances and set a contribution aligned to what the patient can reasonably afford for the full course of treatment. This structured, patient-level approach supports equity whilst maintaining business viability. It is not a standard discount model but a tailored access scheme designed for Filipino patients and adaptable to changing circumstances. The operating model involves independent third parties assessing financial support needs and informing programme design. Patients share in the cost of treatment, whilst Takeda Healthcare Philippines, Inc. collaborates with local authorities and partners to help cover the remaining cost. The company embeds access within hospital pathways through collaborations with organisations such as the Tzu Chi Foundation, private institutions, and major hospitals, helping reduce out-of-pocket expenses and improve coordination across the patient journey. Join Healthcare Asia Magazine community To date, more than 1,300 Filipino patients have received support through Takeda's access programme, including patients living with Hodgkin lymphoma, inflammatory bowel disease, and other rare conditions. By enabling therapy completion, the programme helps patients return to work or school and resume caregiving roles, reducing the broader social and economic burden of untreated disease. Beyond affordability, the company addresses inequity in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas by working with partners to strengthen patient navigation and connections to appropriate providers and specialists. Through Access to Medicines Summits and partnership frameworks, it also supports patients in accessing available private and government funding. A key milestone in its advocacy efforts is the inclusion of life-saving treatment for rare diseases such as haemophilia in the Philippine National Formulary, enabling free access to essential medicines in government hospitals following partnerships and a positive health technology assessment.
