You may qualify if…

• Prior to any study-specific procedures being performed and after having the study fully explained and all questions answered, the informed consent form (ICF) must be signed and dated by parent(s) or legal guardian(s). The Screening Period starts at the time of consent.
• Is a male or female infant 1 to 11 months old, inclusive, on Day 1. Infants who were born prematurely must be ≥ 45 weeks old based on corrected gestational age.
• At the Initial Screening and Day -1 visits, participant must have body weight percentile-for-age within the 5th through 95th percentile by age, inclusive, as determined by the World Health Organization (WHO) growth chart.
• Must be ≥ 3.4 kg at the Screening and Day -1 visits.
• Participants who take a prescription or nonprescription proton pump inhibitor (PPI), histamine-2 receptor antagonists(H2RA), sucralfate, or antacids on a regular or as required basis must agree to discontinue use at Day -1 (except cimetidine, which must be discontinued 28 days prior to Day -1) or other acid suppression therapy, and agree to discontinue use throughout the study.
• Must have endoscopically proven erosive esophagitis (EE), a history of EE, and/or 1 or more of the following underlying conditions that predispose the participant to chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and EE: moderate to severe neurologic impairment, repaired esophageal atresia, hiatal hernia, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or end-stage renal disease.
• Except for participants with EE, a history of EE, or repaired esophageal atresia, participants have:
• Received prior PPI therapy or other acid suppression therapy for a minimum of 2 weeks during any time in the past with symptomatic response and have demonstrated a recurrence of symptoms following at least 1 attempted withdrawal of PPI therapy or other acid suppression therapy AND
• Have undergone esophageal pH monitoring in the recent past to document that their symptoms are due to acid-mediated disease.
• Must be able to ingest study medication granules sprinkled on 1 tablespoon of applesauce or pureed apples, or as a mixture of granules in water administered via an oral syringe.
• Must be at least 7 days post-surgery by dosing on Day 1 and have no anticipated need for surgery during the study.
• Screening laboratory samples must be collected Day -7 to Day -2) and the results must be within the range expected for this infant population (except gastrin results as those results will be available after Day 1). The laboratory results should indicate no clinically significant (CS) abnormality in chemistry (including electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen [BUN]), creatinine, glucose, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin), hematology (complete blood cell count, including differential), and urinalysis parameters (if standard of care).

You may not qualify if…

• Has evidence of cardiovascular, pulmonary, central nervous system, hepatic, hematopoietic, renal, metabolic, endocrine or gastrointestinal disease, or serious allergy, asthma, or allergic skin rash that suggests clinically significant, uncontrolled underlying disease or condition (other than the disease being studied and/or identified as the main criterion for inclusion), that may impact the ability of the participant to participate or potentially may confound the study results.
• Has known history of or current presence of peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding (hematemesis, hematochezia).
• Has poor venous access or any contraindication to blood sampling.
• Has known history of eosinophilic gastroenteropathy, or a coexisting disease affecting the esophagus, including esophageal varices, viral or fungal infection, or esophageal stricture, history of radiation therapy or cryotherapy to the esophagus, and caustic or physiochemical trauma such as sclerotherapy to the esophagus.
• Has active malabsorption syndrome, cow's milk intolerance, milk protein allergy, or celiac disease.
• Has any finding in his/her medical history, physical examination, or safety clinical laboratory tests giving reasonable suspicion of a disease that might interfere with the conduct of the study or that would contraindicate taking dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules or a similar drug in the same class (ie, a PPI).
• Has a known hypersensitivity to any PPI or any component of the formulation of dexlansoprazole delayed-release capsules.
• Is required to take excluded medications or it is anticipated that the participant will require treatment with at least 1 of the disallowed concomitant medications during the study evaluation period.
• Has a history of malignant disease.
• Has a known history of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus.
• Has lost > 10% of the total blood volume, undergone plasmapheresis, or has had a transfusion of any blood product within 90 days prior to the first dose of study medication.
• Has consumed Excluded Medications and Dietary Products during the time periods listed, or parent(s) or legal guardian(s) is unwilling to agree to participant abstaining from products while participating in the study.
• Has participated in a study of an investigational agent (including dosing or follow-up) within 30 days prior to Screening.
• Has a Screening Visit laboratory value that the principal investigator and sponsor consider to be clinically significant.
• Has creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL, ALT and/or AST > 2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), or total bilirubin > 2.0 mg/dL with AST/ALT elevated above the limits of normal values.
• The participant or parent/legal guardian is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependent relationship with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study or may consent under duress.
• Parent/legal guardian, in the opinion of the investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or is unsuitable for any other reason.
• Has any congenital anomaly of the upper gastric intestinal tract that might interfere with gastrointestinal motility, pH, or absorption, or has an active or known history of necrotizing enterocolitis that has been surgically corrected.
• Has clinical evidence of acute sepsis. Infants on chronic antibiotics who are otherwise clinically stable may be enrolled in the study at the discretion of the investigator.
• Has received a vaccine within 48 hours prior to dosing on Day 1.
• Has used intravenous or oral antifungal agents within the 7 days prior to Day -1.
• Has used mucosal protective agent (eg, sucralfate) within 6 hours prior to dosing on Day 1.
