Participant Flow

Subjects enrolled at 154 sites in the United States (US); date of first dose: 08 June 2006; date of last procedure: 11 December 2006.

Subjects with endoscopically documented normal esophageal mucosa were enrolled in Dexlansoprazole Modified Release (MR) or Placebo once daily (QD) treatment group; subjects were instructed that lifestyle or behavioral modifications designed to treat their symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should not be altered throughout the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: Analysis was conducted on an intent-to-treat (ITT) population that included all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and completed at least 1 diary entry for heartburn during treatment. All ITT populations excluded subjects with confirmed Barrett's esophagus and/or definite dysplastic changes.

The percentage was calculated as the days that were heartburn-free out of the total number of days for which either a daytime or nighttime result was marked.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: Analysis was conducted on an ITT population (all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug and completed at least 1 diary entry for heartburn during treatment), but excluded subjects without any morning diary entries on Day 1 or later.

The percentage was calculated as the nights that were heartburn-free out of the total number of days for which a nighttime result was marked.
