Takeda has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for ENTYVIO as a therapy for adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis.

The Osaka, Japan-based pharmaceutical company said it expected ENTYVIO to be available in the U.S. as a single-dose pen by the end of October.

The company currently is waiting for a response from the FDA on a biologics license application for administering ENTYVIO in the treatment of adults with Crohn's disease.

Takeda does not expect the approval to affect full-year forecasts for the company's results.
