Comparison of Dexlansoprazole MR to Placebo on the Ability to Maintain Healing in Subjects With Healed Erosive Esophagitis

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled, 6 month maintenance study. The study is designed to compare the efficacy and safety of daily Dexlansoprazole MR (60 mg and 90 mg) with that of placebo, in maintaining healing of erosive esophagitis. Because the development plan for Dexlansoprazole MR formulation was revised, the results of 2 identical studies, T-EE04-086 (NCT00255164) and T-EE04-087 (this study, NCT00255151), were combined and analyzed as a single larger study referred to as study T-EE04-086. A total of 451 subjects were included in the combined analysis: 237 subjects were enrolled into Study T-EE04-086, and 214 subjects were enrolled into Study T-EE04-087.
