Brief Summary:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is caused by food or acid coming up from the stomach into the esophagus, repeatedly. The esophagus is the tube that carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
The body uses stomach acid to break down food, but when acid rises up into the esophagus it can hurt or damage it. People with GERD often feel food coming back up into the throat and mouth and have a burning feeling in their stomach, chest, or throat, called heartburn. Other symptoms of GERD include pain in the stomach or throat, difficulty eating, and throwing up. Symptomatic nonerosive GERD is a condition where people have the symptoms of GERD but the esophagus has not been damaged. People of all ages can have GERD. The causes of GERD in children are similar to those in adults and teenagers.
Dexlansoprazole is a medicine that has been shown to help relieve the symptoms of GERD in adults and teenagers. This study aims to find out if dexlansoprazole doses given to children with symptomatic nonerosive GERD, based on their body weight, helps them feel better.

Detailed Description:
The drug being tested in this study is called dexlansoprazole. Dexlansoprazole is being tested to treat children aged 2 to 11 years who have nonerosive GERD. This study will look at the effectiveness and side effects of three different doses of dexlansoprazole in children with GERD.
The study will enroll approximately 70 patients. Participants weighing ≤30 kilograms (kg) will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive dexlansoprazole 15 or 30 milligrams (mg), and participants who weigh \>30 kg will be randomized to receive dexlansoprazole 30 or 60 mg.
All participants will be asked to take one capsule at the same time each day throughout the study. Parents/caregivers for participants ages 2 to 8 and participants ages 9 to 11 will be asked to record any time they have heartburn symptoms in an electronic diary.
This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is up to 16 weeks, which includes up to 4 weeks to screen for the study. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic, plus a final phone call 5 to 10 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.
