Study Summary

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and dose-response relationship of IW-3718 administered orally to participants who have GERD and continue to experience GERD symptoms while receiving once-daily (QD), standard-dose proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

Primary Outcome

The WHSS for an analysis week was defined as the average of available DHSS during that week. DHSS was defined as the maximum on a 6-point scale (0=Did Not Have, 1=Very Mild, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Moderately Severe, 5=Severe) of the 3 items measuring heartburn ( "Heartburn," "Burning feeling behind breastbone or in the center of the upper stomach," and "Pain behind breastbone or in the center of the upper stomach,") from a particular day. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
