Treatment and study plan

Esomeprazole 20 mg

Drug

esomeprazole 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in the Frequency of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to the 8 Week Visit (Visit 3) Compared to the Frequency of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to Baseline (Visit 1).

    Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks

    The number of days with heartburn during the 7-day period prior to the 8 week visit (Visit 3) was compared to the number of days with heartburn during the 7-day period prior to baseline (Visit 1). The difference in the number of days with heartburn from baseline to 8 weeks was analysed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in the Frequency of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to the 4 Week Visit (Visit 2) Compared to the Frequency of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to Baseline (Visit 1).

    Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks

    The number of days with heartburn during the 7-day period prior to the 4 week visit (Visit 2) was compared to the number of days with heartburn during the 7-day period prior to baseline (Visit 1). The difference in the number of days with heartburn from baseline to 4 weeks was analysed.

  2. Change in the Maximum Severity of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to the 4 Week Visit (Visit 2) Compared to the Maximum Severity of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to Baseline (Visit 1).

    Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks.

    Maximum severity of heartburn during 7 days at baseline and at 4 weeks was obtained (None, Mild, Moderate, Severe). If the value at 4 weeks was better than at baseline in a participant, the participant was s categorized into "Improved". If the value was same, then categorised into "Unchanged". If the value was worsened, categorised into "Worsened".

  3. Change in the Maximum Severity of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to the 8 Week Visit (Visit 3) Compared to the Maximum Severity of Heartburn During the 7-day Period Prior to Baseline (Visit 1).

    Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks

    Maximum severity of heartburn during 7 days at baseline and at 8 weeks was obtained (None, Mild, Moderate, Severe). If the value at 8 weeks was better than at baseline in a participant, the participant was s categorized into "Improved". If the value was same, then categorised into "Unchanged". If the value was worsened, categorised into "Worsened".
