Brief summary

This is a comparative study of vonoprazan (TAK-438) (10 mg or 20 mg) in participants in whom endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis has been confirmed with vonoprazan or adequate treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), to demonstrate the non-inferiority of vonoprazan to lansoprazole in their maintenance treatment (6 months or 24 weeks) as well as to determine the clinically recommended dose for vonoprazan for maintenance therapy in erosive esophagitis.

Detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called vonoprazan. Vonoprazan is being tested as a maintenance treatment for people with healed erosive esophagitis (EE). This study will look at participants in whom endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis has been confirmed with vonoprazan or adequate treatment with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), to demonstrate the non-inferiority of vonoprazan to Lansoprazole in their maintenance treatment (6 months or 24 weeks) as well as to determine the clinically recommended dose for vonoprazan for maintenance therapy in erosive esophagitis. The study will enroll approximately 693 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the three treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the patient and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need): * TAK-438 10 mg * TAK-438 20 mg * Lansoprazole 15 mg Participants with ongoing erosive esophagitis (EE) will receive lansoprazole 30 mg once daily for 4 or 8 weeks (the Healing phase) until healing of EE is confirmed by endoscopy performed at either Week -4 and/or Day 1 before eligible for randomization to maintenance phase. In Maintenance phase, participants with confirming EE healing will be asked to take 2 tablets and a capsule at the same time each morning after breakfast throughout the study. All participants will be asked to record daytime and nighttime (during sleep) subjective symptoms in a diary on a daily basis. This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 8 months. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, and will be contacted by telephone 7-14 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

The participant or, when applicable, the participant's legally acceptable representative signs and dates a written, informed consent form and any required privacy authorization prior to the initiation of any study procedures. 3. Has been confirmed on endoscopy to have had erosive esophagitis \[Los Angeles (LA) classification grades A to D\] within 84 days of Day 1. 4. If the participant is not rolled over from TAK-438\_303 study, he/she has undergone an open-label Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) treatment (Lansoprazole 30 mg, once daily) of 4 or 8 weeks within the TAK-438\_305 protocol. 5. Has been confirmed on endoscopy to have healing of erosive esophagitis. This endoscopy, if not part of the TAK-438\_303 study, must have been within the last 14 days prior to randomization, otherwise the endoscopy must be repeated to confirm healing before randomization in the TAK-438\_305 study. 6. Is aged 18 years old or older (or the local age of consent if that is older), male or female, at the time of signing an informed consent, and is being treated on an outpatient basis for erosive esophagitis, including those temporarily admitted for examination. 7. A female participant of childbearing potential who is sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner agrees to use routinely adequate contraception from signing of informed consent throughout the duration of the study and for 4 weeks after last dose of study medication.

Erosive esophagitis recurrence is defined as participants endoscopically confirmed to have erosive esophagitis (Los Angeles \[LA\] classification grades A to D) during the Maintenance Phase (24 weeks). Grade A: \>/=1 mucosal breaks \</=5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of the mucosal folds; Grade B: \>/=1 mucosal breaks \>5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of two mucosal folds; Grade C: mucosal breaks that extend between the tops of two or more mucosal folds, but which involve \<75% of esophageal circumference; Grade D: mucosal breaks which involve \>/=75% of esophageal circumference.

Time frame: 24 weeks

Population: Full analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of the Maintenance Phase drug and had at least 1 post-baseline endoscopy, and was based on randomized treatment.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug whether or not it is considered related to the drug.

Time frame: From Day 1 to 14 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 26 weeks)

Population: Safety analysis set included all participants who took at least 1 dose of the Maintenance Phase drug and was based on the treatment received in the Maintenance Phase.

Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of Erosive Esophagitis After 12 Weeks of Treatment in the Maintenance Phase

Erosive esophagitis recurrence is defined as endoscopically confirmed to have erosive esophagitis (LA classification grades A to D) during the Maintenance Phase (12 weeks). Grade A: \>/=1 mucosal breaks \</=5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of the mucosal folds; Grade B: \>/=1 mucosal breaks \>5 mm, none of which extends between the tops of two mucosal folds; Grade C: mucosal breaks that extend between the tops of two or more mucosal folds, but which involve \<75% of esophageal circumference; Grade D: mucosal breaks which involve \>/=75% of esophageal circumference.

Time frame: 12 weeks

Population: Full analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of the Maintenance Phase drug and had at least 1 post-baseline endoscopy, and was based on randomized treatment.
