(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TOKYO:4502):
Delivered substantial profit growth versus prior year

- GI underlying revenue +33.5%, driven by ENTYVIO® and TAKECAB®.
- Oncology underlying revenue +7.5%, supported by uptake of NINLARO® and ADCETRIS®.

Christophe Weber, President and Chief Executive Officer of Takeda, commented:
