A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BLI5100 in Patients With Non-Erosive Reflux Disease
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.

---|---|
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
