Comparison of Dexlansoprazole MR to Placebo on the Ability to Maintain Healing in Subjects With Healed Erosive Esophagitis

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must have successfully completed the Phase 3 Study T-EE04-084 (NCT00251693) or T-EE04-085 (NCT00251719); and have healed esophageal erosions proven by endoscopy. Complete healing was assessed for change in LA Esophagitis Classification grades A, B, C, or D to healed (defined as anything less than the criterion for Grade A). The subject was counted as healed if endoscopy findings did not meet the Grade A criterion. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of prescription or nonprescription proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine (H2) receptor antagonists, sucralfate, misoprostol, or prokinetics throughout the study * Use of antacids (except for study supplied) throughout the study. * Subjects using drugs with significant anticholinergic effects such as tricyclics who cannot stay on a stable dose throughout the study. * Need for continuous anticoagulant therapy.
