Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of loss of esophagitis symptom at 4 weeks of treatment vs pre-dose | 4 weeks(28 days) | Percentage of subjects who were assessed as having 'lost' the frequency and intensity of typical esophagitis symptoms by RDQ assessment at 4 weeks of treatment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chang in esophagitis symptom score at 4 weeks of treatment vs pre-dose | 4 weeks(28 days) | The mean scores for esophagitis symptom (heartburn and/or acid regurgitation) frequency and intensity assessed with RDQ (Questions a, b/c, d) and the change in mean score across both domains. |
| Change in PAGI-QoL score at 4 weeks of treatment vs pre-dose | 4 weeks(28 days) | The change in mean score for quality of life assessed with PAGI-QoL |
| Change in esophagitis symptom score according to the maximum number of rescue medication doses per day | 4 weeks(28 days) | The mean scores for esophagitis symptom (heartburn and/or acid regurgitation) frequency and intensity assessed with RDQ (Questions a, b/c, d) at 4 weeks of treatment versus pre-dose according to the maximum number of rescue medication doses per day and the change in mean score across both domains. |
