Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Subjects will be eligible for participation in the study if they: -have a documented history of symptoms of both heartburn and acid regurgitation prior to entry into the study - have a history of persistent heartburn and/or regurgitation symptoms that are troublesome despite an adequate course of PPI treatment; - continue to have symptoms of heartburn (and regurgitation) following 4 weeks treatment with a high dose of esomeprazole 40 mg QD during the Run-in Period; - have symptoms of heartburn which increases following a 2-week Washout Period in the presence of regurgitation prior to randomization. Patients with mild (LA grade A) esophagitis are permitted to enter the study.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the effect of vonoprazan compared to esomeprazole for preventing heartburn symptoms over a 4-week treatment period in subjects who have a partial response to treatment with esomeprazole;Secondary Objective: To determine the effect of vonoprazan treatment on sustained resolution of heartburn symptoms over a 4-week treatment period (at least one 7-day symptom-free period);Primary end point(s): Percentage of heartburn-free 24 hour periods (day and night) during 4 weeks of randomized double-blind treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Proportion of subjects with =1 sustained resolution of heartburn (defined as =7 consecutive days without both daytime and nighttime heartburn any time during the 4-week randomized double-blind Treatment Period).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 4 weeks | — |
