Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Complete Heartburn Relief During the First Full 24-Hour Period in Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population
The difference in complete relief within the first 24 hours between treatment and placebo in ITT was tested using a continuity corrected chi-square test withput adjustment for baseline severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Summary of Percentage of Heartburn-Free Daytimes
comparison between placebo and treatment will be analyzed using two-sample t-test.
Summary of Percentage of Heartburn-Free Nighttimes
Change From Baseline in Average Regurgitation Severity Score Between Placebo and Rabeprazole
Change From Baseline in Average Belching Severity Score Between Placebo and Rabeprazole
