Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Evidence of a personally signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the subject (or a legally acceptable representative) has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study. 2. Subjects with a diagnosis of GERD who fulfill the following criteria • who have symptoms for at least six months prior to enrolment • who are currently on daily treatment with a PPI and have been on such treatment for at least 3 months • whose symptoms are persistent. * troublesome and that include heartburn and/or regurgitation as their predominant symptoms despite treatment with a PPI • who are seeking relief of persistent symptoms. * persistent symptoms: Minimum of 4 days (in a week) with at least mild symptoms (i.e. symptom does not last long and is easily tolerated) or minimum of 2 days with moderate (i.e. symptom causes discomfort and interrupts usual activities including sleep) to severe symptoms (i.e. symptom causes great interference with usual activities [including sleep] and may be incapacitating. 3. Male or female subject aged 18 to 65 years inclusive. 4. All female subjects must fulfill adequate contraception criteria A negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to start of study medication for Women of Child Bearing Potential (WOCBP*). WOCBP include any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization or is not post-menopausal**. Even women who are using oral, implanted or injectable contraceptive hormones or mechanical products (intrauterine devices; barrier methods) to prevent pregnancy, who are practicing abstinence, or who have a partner that is sterile (e.g., vasectomy), should be considered to be of child bearing potential. * Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must meet at least one of the following criteria: **Postmenopausal females, defined as: Females over the age of 60 years. Females who are 45 to 60 years of age must be amenorrheic for at least 2 years PLUS have a serum FSH level within the laboratory’s reference range for postmenopausal women. Females who had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy. All other female subjects (including females with tubal ligations) will be considered to be of childbearing potential. Willingness to utilize an acceptable form of contraception***(e.g. hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, barrier method plus spermicide) for WOCBP from screening to at least a month after the study. *** Acceptable contraceptive method for female subjects of childbearing potential include one of the following: Female subjects who wish to use nonhormonal contraception must have done so for at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication. • Hormonal methods of contraception (including oral and transdermal contraceptives, injectable progesterone, progestin subdermal implants, progesterone-releasing IUDs) at least 14 days prior to the first dose of study medication; • Placement of a copper-containing intrauterine device (IUD); • Condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository; • Male partner who has had a vasectomy for at least 4 months 5. Body Mass Index (BMI) of 18 to 40 kg/m2 6. Subjects who are willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Nu

| Main Objective: To understand the dose-response characteristics of PF-00885706 for efficacy in terms of symptomatic relief when used as add-on treatment to Esomeprazole 20mg (standard PPI treatment), in subjects with GERD who have inadequate relief with PPIs.;Primary end point(s): Complete resolution of heartburn and regurgitation [i.e. no more than one day with either mild heartburn or regurgitation over seven days prior to the assessment time point (Visit 6 and Visit 8)].;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the safety of PF-00885706 in subjects in subjects who are poor responders to PPI treatment. • To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics (POPPK) for PF-00885706 in a population of subjects with GERD in order to support the development of a PKPD model. • To validate a modified patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument [modified version of the Patient Assessment of Gastro-Intestinal SYMptoms {PAGI-SYM} instrument and in electronic formats. | — |
