Millennium now operates as an independent subsidiary.

Chandrakasan, dean of the MIT School of Engineering, and Anne Heatherington, senior vice president and head of Data Sciences Institute (DSI) at Takeda. In March 2020, Takeda announced that it has entered into an exclusive agreement to divest a portfolio of non core products in Latin America to Hypera S. A. for a total value of $825 million. In March 2021, the company announced it would acquire Maverick Therapeutics, Inc. and its two major programs TAK 186 (MVC 101) in trials for the treatment of EGFR expressing tumours and TAK 280 (MVC 280) for use in the treatment of patients with B7H3 expressing tumors.

At the time of the announcement, the treatment Dupixent from Sanofi and Regeneron was the only alternative.

In 1977, Takeda first entered the U. S. pharmaceutical market by developing a joint venture with Abbott Laboratories called TAP Pharmaceuticals. Through TAP Pharmaceuticals Takeda and Abbott launched blockbuster drugs Lupron (leuprorelin), in 1985, then Prevacid (lansoprazole), in 1995. In 2001, TAP's illegal marketing of Lupron resulted in both civil and criminal charges by the U. S. Department of Justice and the Illinois attorney general for federal and state medicare fraud. TAP was fined $875 million, then reported as the largest pharmaceutical settlement in history. In March 2008, Takeda and Abbott Laboratories announced plans to conclude their 30 year old joint venture, TAP Pharmaceuticals. The split resulted in Abbott acquiring U. S. rights to Lupron and the drug's support staff. Takeda received rights to Prevacid and TAP's pipeline candidates.

In May 2019, Takeda sold its Xiidra dry eye drug business to Novartis for $5.3 billion, $3.4 billion upfront and up to $1.9 billion in sales milestones.

Takeda operates two primary bases in Japan in Osaka and Tokyo. Its United States subsidiary is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and all Global Operations outside Japan and the U. K. are based in Opfikon (Zurich), Switzerland. The company maintains research and development sites in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore, with manufacturing facilities across the globe.

In April 2015 Takeda agreed to pay a settlement of $2.37 billion to an estimated 9,000 people who submitted claims alleging that pioglitazone was responsible for giving them bladder cancer. The company said the decision is expected to resolve the “vast majority” of these cases. Takeda will put the money into a settlement fund if 95 percent of plaintiffs agree to the accord, according to which each claimant would get an average $267,000. However, the exact amount for each plaintiff will be evaluated based on cumulative dosage, extent of injuries and history of smoking. In 2014, a plaintiff was awarded $9 billion in punitive damages after a federal court found Takeda hid the cancer risks of their diabetes medicine, but the amount was later reduced to $26 million by a judge who deemed the charge excessive.

Takeda is a corporate partner of Human Rights Campaign, a large LGBT advocacy organization.
