Title: A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group Study to Evaluate Short-term Safety and Efficacy and Long-Term Maintenance of Two Dose Levels of Rabeprazole Sodium Delayed-Release Pediatric Bead Formulation in 1- to 11-Year Old Pediatric Subjects With Endoscopically Proven GERD
Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to access the effectiveness and safety of oral rabeprazole in the treatment of acid-related disorders in pediatric patients, focusing specifically on the manifestation of GERD (symptomatic and erosive types).
