Prior to a protocol amendment, 300 subjects successfully completed one of the symptomatic nonerosive gastroesophageal reflux studies T-GD04-082 (NCT00251745) or T-GD04-083 (NCT00251758) in which they were randomly assigned to receive placebo or dexlansoprazole MR 60 or 90 mg QD. Subjects who were enrolled from one of these symptomatic GERD studies were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either dexlansoprazole MR 60 or 90 mg QD in this long-term study.
