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 181 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 32

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Subjects who have hypersensitivity to vonoprazan or related compounds - a history or any coexisting diseases affecting the esophagus; -‘alarm features’ in symptomatology pointing to a possible malignant disease of the GI tract; - current or historical chest pain due to cardiac disease; -a history of surgical treatment for GERD; - dilation of an esophageal stricture or gastric or duodenal surgery. - Subjects who have a documented history of functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome or other gastrointestinal diseases which are not acid-related, and therefore, are nonresponsive to gastric acid-blocking treatment. - Subjects who have levels of AST,ALT or total bilirubin > ULN. - those who have a documented history of familial adenomatous polyposis, active gastric or duodenal ulcers or acute upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage within 30 days prior to screening and any other co-morbidities or any significant results from physical examinations, or clinical laboratory results as deemed by the investigator.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime 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

MeasureTime 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
