4. Participants who meet either 1 or 2 below according to gastric or duodenal endoscopy:

   * Ulcer scar (defined, in this study, as regenerative mucosa, convergence of mucosal fold, gastric wall transformation, etc) has been confirmed during endoscopy on the study drug initiation day (Visit 2).
   * Ulcer (mucosal defects of 3 mm or larger with white moss) or ulcer scar has been endoscopically confirmed before the study drug initiation day (Visit 2).
5. Outpatient participants (inpatients for examinations are acceptable).
6. Women with child-bearing potential must agree to routinely take appropriate contraceptive measures throughout treatment period, from giving consent to the study until 4 weeks after the final dose.

5. Participants with a plan to change the type, dosage or administration of low-dose aspirin.
6. Participants with ulcer (mucosal defects of 3 mm or larger with white moss) or active hemorrhage confirmed during gastric or duodenal endoscopy on the study drug initiation day (Visit 2)
