Endoscopic Evidence of Maintenance of Healing With Oral NEXIUM in Patients 1 to 11 Years Old With Erosive Esophagitis.

100 patients around the world
Available in Argentina, United States, Spain
Esomeprazole (NEXIUM™) is indicated for the maintenance of healing of endoscopy-verified erosive esophagitis (EE) in children 1 to 11 years of age in a number of countries worldwide, but not in the United States (US). The current study has been designed, in discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of NEXIUM given as maintenance of healing of EE in children 1 to 11 years of age Safety assessments will include the monitoring of adverse events throughout the study, clinical laboratory testing (including hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis), vital signs (including blood pressure and pulse), and physical examination including weight.
