A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active comparator, multi-centers, non-inferiority design clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of YYD601 in ERD patients (phase 3).

This phase 3 clinical trial is designed as randomized, active-comparator, double-dummy, multi-center for ERD patients, who take YYD601 40mg or Nexium 40mg for 8 weeks. Each part is assessed by 'LA grade' measured through the endoscopy, target goal is to confirm the non-inferiority of YYD601 40mg to Nexium 40mg.

  * Symptom (heartburn and acid regurgitation) is confirmed by RDQ.

  1. Experienced above 2 days in 1 week, Heartburn of acid regurgitation above the weakness.
  2. Experienced above 1 day in 1 week, Heartburn of acid regurgitation above the middle.
