Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Sustained resolution of heartburn during the 4th week of treatment, defined as 7 consecutive days with a daily e-diary heartburn assessment of “None”.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Relief of heartburn during the 4th week of treatment
Cumulative daily sustained resolution rate through 4 weeks of treatment
Time to first day of the first 7-day period of sustained resolution of heartburn
Time to the first day of the first 7-day period of relief of heartburn
Percentage of subject-reported heartburn-free days through 4 weeks of treatment
Percentage of subject-reported heartburn-free nights through the 4 weeks of treatment
Safety and tolerability: adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examination.
