Open Label Safety Study of Enteric-Coated Spheroid Suspension in Infants Aged Less Than 12 Months With Presumed Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Pre-defined criteria were established for each laboratory test to define the values that would be identified as of potential clinical importance. Criteria are as follows: Potassium ≤ 3.0 mEq/L or ≥ 6.2 mEq/L; Carbon dioxide < 12 mEq/L or > 35 mEq/L; Total bilirubin > 1.5xULN; CPK > 3xULN; Gastrin ≥ 600 pg/mL; Neutrophils < 10% or > 80%; Platelet count < 100 x10 to the third power/ul or > 600 x10 to the third power/ul; Urine protein albumin > 2+ (dipstick) 100mg/dL or positive; Urine leukocyte esterase > 2+ (dipstick) moderate or positive.

Z-Score is a statistical measure to evaluate how a single data point compares to a standard. A Z-Score describes whether a mean is above or below the standard and how unusual the measurement is. Z-scores primarily range from -3 to +3. A Z-score of 0 indicates the same mean, >0 a greater mean, and <0 a lesser mean than the standard. In this study, infant growth parameters were compared to a standard defined by Centers for Disease Control's growth charts.
