Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 1 investigative site in Japan from 13 November 2019 to 06 December 2019.

Healthy Japanese male participants were enrolled in the study to receive TAK-123 3.75 gram per square meter (g/m\^2) sodium phenylacetate (NaPA) and 3.75 g/m\^2 sodium benzoate (NaBZ), as loading dose followed by an equivalent maintenance dose.
