Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of the Treatment Phase of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 4 weeks of once daily oral administration of BLI5100 low dose, BLI5100 high dose, or placebo in patients with NERD. The objective of the Extension Phase of the study is to evaluate the safety of 20 weeks of once daily oral administration of BLI5100 low dose and BLI5100 high dose in patients with NERD.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: BLI5100 Low Dose

During the Treatment Period, patients will take BLI5100 low dose once daily, orally, for 4 weeks. During the Extension Period, patients will continue to take BLI5100 low dose once daily, orally, for 20 weeks.

Drug: BLI5100
Orally via tablet

Experimental: BLI5100 High Dose

During the Treatment Period, patients will take BLI5100 high dose once daily, orally, for 4 weeks. During the Extension Period, patients will continue to take BLI5100 high dose once daily, orally, for 20 weeks.

Drug: BLI5100
Orally via tablet

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

During the Treatment Period, patients will take placebo once daily, orally, for 4 weeks. In the Extension Phase, patients who received placebo in the Treatment Phase will be re-randomized to receive either BLI5100 low dose or BLI5100 high dose to take once daily, orally, for 20 weeks.

Drug: Placebo
Orally via tablet

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of 24-hour heartburn-free days [4 Weeks]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of patients with complete resolution of main symptoms (heartburn and regurgitation) [4 Weeks]

o Note: This is not applicable to patients who had complete response or pathological complete response and whose tumor had not recurred for at least 5 years from the date of last treatment, or patients whose tumor had been removed by endoscopic resection without any findings indicating recurrence of the tumor within 3 years.

  1. History of an allergic disease, or hypersensitivity or intolerance to the active ingredient or excipients of the study drug;

  2. History of alcoholism, chronic opiate use, or substance addiction in the 12 months before Screening or a positive urine drug screen for opiates or substances of abuse;
