Official Title:	An Open, Randomized, Two Way Crossover Study Comparing the Effect of 20mg Esomeprazole Administered Orally and Intravenously as a 15 Minute Infusion on Basal and Pentagastrin-Stimulated Acid Output in Subjects With Symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

The maximal acid output (MAO) during pentagastrin stimulation after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods. [ Time Frame: MAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment (Day 11 or Day 20) ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Basal acid output (BAO) after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods. (Day 11 or Day 20) [ Time Frame: BAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment ]
To compare MAO when switching (after Day 2 in the second study period versus after Day 10 in the first study period) from oral to intravenous dosing and from intravenous to oral dosing. [ Time Frame: Assessments at Day 2 and after Day 10 (Day 11 or Day 20) ]
To evaluate the safety of intravenous esomeprazole in subjects with symptoms of GERD. [ Time Frame: Safety assessments throughout the study ]
