Summary

The purpose of this research study is to compare the safety and effectiveness (how well the medicine works) of esomeprazole (study drug) to placebo (a capsule that does not contain any medication) taken daily in relieving nighttime heartburn and problems sleeping in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
