Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure: Number of Participants With no Heartburn (Post Treatment) Following Consumption of Heartburn-inducing Meal
Participant reported severity of heartburn using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS)directly on CRF every 15 minutes until no heartburn reported or up to 5 hours after 1st heartburn-inducing meal, whichever occurred first. At this point in time, a diary was provided to participants to record any changes in severity of heartburn for 28 hours post treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure: Maximum Heartburn Intensity for Those Participants Who Experience Any Heartburn After the Heartburn-inducing Meals
Heartburn severity was measured using a Visual Analog Scale, which was 100 milliimeters long. 0 millimeters: None (no heartburn) 100 millimeters: Most severe
Measure: Maximum Heartburn Intensity for Those Participants Who Experience Any Nighttime Heartburn
Heartburn severity was measured using a Visual Analog Scale, which was 100 milliimeters long. 0 millimeters: None (no heartburn) 100 millimeters: Most severe
Measure: Number of Participants That Reported an Adverse Event for the Combination Product, PPI Alone, Antacid Alone and Placebo.
