This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, active-controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LXI-15028 50mg comparing with Lansoprazole 30 mg after the treatment of duodenal ulcer in Chinese patients for up to 6 weeks.

Screening-eligible subjects will be randomized into LXI-15028 50 mg group or Lansoprazole 30 mg group at Visit 1 at the ratio of 1:1 and receive study treatment continuously for 4 or 6 weeks.Subjects will take the first dose of the investigational drug on the morning of the randomization day or on the next morning of the randomization day, and start to complete the subject's diary from the day of study treatment initiation(Day 1). After 4 weeks treatment, subjects will return to the study institution for Visit 3. For the subjects who achieve endoscopic healing at Visit 3,the study treatment will be terminated.The subjects who fail to achieve endoscopic healing at Visit 3 will receive newly dispensed investigational products for another 2 weeks' treatment and then complete Visit 4.All subjects will receive telephone follow-up (Visit 5) on Day 28 ± 3 after the last dose of the investigational products.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject who volunteers to sign the written informed consent form approved by the Ethics Committee and agrees to participate in this study prior to the initiation of any study procedures.
2. Subject who is able to understand and follow the protocol requirements and agrees to participate in all the study visits.
3. Male or female subjects with age ≥18 years and ≤70 years.
4. Subject who is diagnosed as active DU (at least one ulcer, but not more than two ulcers, with the bigger one 0.3-2.0 cm in diameter) by upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy in the same study institution within 14 days prior to the first dose of investigational drug and is staged as A1 or A2 by using the staging system of Sakita-Miwa.
5. Subject who agrees to use appropriate medical method for contraception during the course of the study (not including women in medically sterile state)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject who had participated in any other clinical study of LXI-15028 previously, or had been treated with any P-CAB drug before.

4. Pregnant or lactating women.

5. Subject who is known to be allergic to the active ingredient or excipient of the investigational drug (including Lansoprazole).

7. Subject who is unable to complete the subject diary by his/her own.

8. Subject who has history of manic-depression, somatoform disorder, personality disorder, schizophrenia or other severe mental disorder.

9. Ulcers caused by endoscopic procedures, e.g. post endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)/endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) ulcers.

10. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

11. History of malignant tumor within 5 years prior to screening (if the subject's basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ has been cured, he/she will be allowed to participate in this study).

12. Subject with history of upper GI surgery (except endoscopic surgery such as resection of benign polyp, etc.).

13. Subject who plans to be hospitalized for receiving selective surgery during the study.

14. Subject with uncontrolled and unstable hepatic, renal, cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, hematologic or central nervous system disease as judged by investigators.

15. Subject with history of chronic alcohol consumption [more than 14 units per week, each unit corresponds to 360 mL beer (ABV ≈ 5%) or 45 mL spirit (ABV ≈ 40%) or 150 mL wine (ABV ≈ 12%)] or drug abuse within 5 years prior to screening.

16. Subject whose upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy shows GI bleeding (grade I, IIa or IIb per Forrest classification), esophageal stenosis, ulcerative stenosis, pyloric stenosis, gastroesophageal varices, Barrett's esophagus >3 cm (i.e., long-segment Barrett's esophagus, LSBE), gastroesophageal reflux disease, acute gastroduodenal mucosal lesion (AGDML), active gastric ulcer, refractory ulcer, ulcer perforation or suspected malignant disease.

17. Subject who has other severe GI diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc.

18. Use of any PPI, anticholinergic drug, gastrin receptor antagonist, H2 receptor antagonist, prostaglandin, mucosal protective agent, prokinetic, antacid or any other therapeutic drugs for peptic ulcer within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
