What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Absence of Recurrence of Reflux Esophagitis According to Los Angeles Classification Throughout the Treatment Period.

    Los Angels classification consists of 5 grades (Grade O, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and Grade D). A patient classfied into Grade O was considered no reflux esophagitis. The participants who had a healing of reflux esophagitis with Grade O at Visit 1 were randomised. Number of participants who did not have Grades A-D throughout the treatment period was evaluated.

    Time frame: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absence of Recurrence of Reflux Esophagitis According to Los Angeles Classification up to 4 Weeks After Treatment

    Los Angels classification consists of 5 grades (Grade O, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and Grade D). A patient classfied into Grade O was considered no reflux esophagitis. The participants who had a healing of reflux esophagitis with Grade O at Visit 1 were randomised. Number of participants who did not have Grades A-D up to 4 weeks after treatment was evaluated.

    Time frame: up to 4 weeks

  2. Absence of Recurrence of Reflux Esophagitis According to Los Angeles Classification up to 12 Weeks After Treatment

    Los Angels classification consists of 5 grades (Grade O, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and Grade D). A patient classfied into Grade O was considered no reflux esophagitis. The participants who had a healing of reflux esophagitis with Grade O at Visit 1 were randomised. Number of participants who did not have Grades A-D up to 12 weeks after treatment was evaluated.

    Time frame: Up to 12 weeks
