Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Participants With Healing of Reflux Esophagitis (RE) Who Were Graded "O" at Week 8 Out of Patients Who Were Graded "A, B, C or D" at Baseline According to Los Angeles Classification". [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Los Angeles classification consists of 5 grades (Grade O, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C, Grade D). The subjects who were definitely diagnosed to have RE classified into LA classification Grade A, B, C or D based on the EGD on Visit 1 were randomised. A subject classified into LA classification Grade O was considered no reflux esophagitis. The definitions of each grade are: Grade A (Mucosal break < 5 mm in length), Grade B (Mucosal break > 5mm), Grade C (Mucosal break continuous between > 2 mucosal folds) and Grade D (Mucosal break >75% of esophageal circumference).

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number of Participants With Healing of Reflux Esophagitis (RE) Who Were Graded "O" at Week 4 Out of Patients Who Were Graded "A, B, C or D" at Baseline According to Los Angeles Classification [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Los Angeles classification consists of 5 grades (Grade O, Grade A, Grade B, Grade C and Grade D). The subjects who were definitely diagnosed to have RE classified into LA classification Grade A, B, C or D based on the EGD on Visit 1 were randomised. A subject classified into LA classification Grade O was considered no reflux esophagitis. The definitions of each grade are: Grade A (Mucosal break < 5 mm in length), Grade B (Mucosal break > 5mm), Grade C (Mucosal break continuous between > 2 mucosal folds) and Grade D (Mucosal break >75% of esophageal circumference).
