Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 3

  1. Medical history of GERD symptoms for at least 3 months prior to Screening.
  2. Reported symptoms of hurting or burning in the stomach, chest, or throat on at least 3 out of any 7 consecutive days as recorded in the eDiary during screening.
  3. No evidence of erosive esophagitis according to the LA Classification of Esophagitis and, in the investigator's clinical judgment, the symptoms are suggestive of acid-related disease. A 24-hour pH-metry (with or without impedance) may be performed during Screening or within 6 months prior to Screening for similar symptoms as those identified during Screening if, in the investigator's judgment, this procedure would aid in the determination of whether the subject's symptoms are acid related.

Exclusion criteria 8

  1. Erosive esophagitis.
  2. History of hypersensitivity or allergies to dexlansoprazole or any component of dexlansoprazole or antacid or any PPI (including lansoprazole, omeprazole, rabeprazole, pantoprazole, or esomeprazole).
  3. Evidence of cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, hepatic, hematopoietic, renal, or metabolic disorder, severe allergy, asthma, or allergic skin rash that suggests any uncontrolled, clinically significant underlying disease or condition (other than the disease being studied), which may impact the ability of the subject to participate or potentially confound the study results.
  4. Any findings in medical history, physical examination, or safety clinical laboratory tests giving reasonable suspicion of underlying disease that might interfere with the conduct of the trial.
  5. Known history of Barrett's esophagus with dysplastic changes in the esophagus.
  6. History of the following: eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) or histologic findings suggestive of EoE (>15 eosinophils per high-powered field [HPF]); a history of celiac disease or tests positive for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibody or confirmed disease by histology; inflammatory bowel disease; or irritable bowel syndrome.
  7. Active gastric or duodenal ulcers within 4 weeks prior to Day -1.
  8. Subjects who are required to take prescription or nonprescription medications as listed in Excluded Medications and Treatment Section of the protocol (Section 7.3).

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The percentage of days without hurting or burning in the stomach, chest or throat over the 12 weeks of treatment.

Secondary endpoints 6

  1. Percentage of days without hurting or burning in the stomach, chest or throat in children aged 9 to 11 years over the 12 weeks of treatment.
  2. Percentage of days without hurting or burning in the stomach, chest or throat in children aged 2 to 8 years over the 12 weeks of treatment.
  3. Percentage of days without vomiting over the 12 weeks of treatment.
  4. Percentage of days food did not come up from stomach to mouth over the 12 weeks of treatment.
  5. Percentage of days without trouble eating over the 12 weeks of treatment.
  6. Comparison of the difference of the mean percentage of days without hurting or burning in the stomach, chest, or throat over the 12 weeks of treatment between the high dose and the low dose within each weight strata.

Reason
Sponsor decision
Explanation
During a recent IVDR compliance review, the Sponsor identified three tests that do not meet IVDR requirements. As outlined in the study protocol, these tests are only to be used in the event of liver test abnormalities occurring in a subject post-enrollment:
• Liver-Kidney Microsome Antibody, IgG (ARUP)
• Hepatitis E Virus by Quantitative PCR
• Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody
Follow-up measures
To date, these non-IVDR compliant tests have not been utilized, and therefore no follow-up actions are required for any enrolled subjects. Nevertheless, proactive measures are being implemented to ensure that IVDR-compliant tests are available moving forward, in alignment with regulatory requirements.
As a precautionary step, subject recruitment has been temporarily paused in Poland. All other study activities continue as per the approved protocol, including recruitment in all other regions outside of the EU.
