MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy on GERD symptoms (heartburn and/or regurgitation) of ADX10059 as a monotherapy compared with placebo when taken twice daily for 15 days, by patients with GERD.;Secondary Objective: • To evaluate the efficacy of ADX10059 compared with placebo on: heartburn, regurgitation, sleep disturbance due to GERD, occurrence of nocturnal and post-prandial GERD, patient and investigator global assessment of study medication, requirement for rescue medication, Patient Assessment of Upper Gastrointestinal Disorders Symptoms Questionnaire (PAGI-SYM) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS) • To evaluate the safety and tolerability after repeated administration of ADX10059 • In a subset of patients, to evaluate the mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ADX10059 in GERD;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy endpoint: The number of GERD symptom (heartburn and/or regurgitation) free days in week 2 of study medication (Days 8 to 14) adjusted for baseline will be evaluated.
