GERD is prevalent globally and represents one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases. Children who are 12 years and older with GERD experience regular heartburn. If your child or teen suffers from GERD, they may qualify for our clinical trial studying a new potential treatment. The current study is evaluating a medication as a treatment of GERD in adolescents. The study doctors are investigating the safety and tolerability of the drug for adolescent patients. The results will help provide more information for the future of GERD treatments. Consider signing up your child for this study today.

Help us advance GERD research to find more safe and effective treatments.

Watching your child struggle with GERD and heartburn is hard. Help them discover new treatment options.
