A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate Cardiovascular Outcomes of TAK-875, 50 mg in Addition to Standard of Care in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes and With Cardiovascular Disease or Multiple Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Events

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate no excess risk of cardiovascular (CV) composite
events exists following long term treatment with TAK-875 compared with placebo.

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-875. TAK-875 is being tested to treat
people who have diabetes. This study will look at the number of cardiovascular events (for
example, heart attacks) of people who take TAK-875 in comparison to placebo in addition to
standard care.

The study will enroll approximately 5000 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned
(by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups—which will remain
undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent
medical need):

- TAK-875 50 mg.

- Placebo (dummy inactive pill) - this is a tablet that looks like the study drug but has
no active ingredient.

All participants will be asked to take one tablet at the same time each day throughout the
study. All participants will be asked to record any time they have low blood sugar symptoms
in a diary.

This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide, in approximately 700 sites. The overall
time to participate in this study is 6 years. Participants will make up to approximately 24
visits to the clinic, with telephone visits conducted on an alternate 6 month schedule
starting from Month 27.

Due to potential concerns about liver safety, on balance, the benefits of treating patients
with fasiglifam (TAK-875) do not outweigh the potential risks.

For this reason, Takeda has decided voluntarily to terminate the development activities for
fasiglifam.

Inclusion Criteria:

within 12 months prior to Screening and no more than 6 months apart: i)Duration
of diabetes ≥ 10 years on pharmacological treatment documented within medical
records. ii) Confirmed systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥150 mm Hg on 2 separate
