A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TAK-438 (10 mg or 20 mg Once-Daily) Compared to AG-1749 (15 mg Once-Daily) in a 24-week Maintenance Treatment in Patients With Healed Erosive Esophagitis (EE).

Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy of TAK-438, once daily (QD), compared to lansoprazole for the maintenance treatment of healed erosive esophagitis and to determine the clinical dose.

- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria
- •At Visit H-1 (start of the treatment period), the participants must have endoscopically confirmed erosive esophagitis of Grade A to D, as defined by the LA classification grading system, and the target number of participants who are clearly Grade C or D is 15% or more of the total participants.
- •Outpatients (including inpatient for examination)
- •Participants must have successfully completed the treatment period and have endoscopically healed EE at Week 2, 4, or 8 in the treatment period. Endoscopically healed EE is defined as those participants who have endoscopically confirmed EE of Grade O as defined by the LA classification grading system.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Participants with an esophagus-related complication (eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal varices, scleroderma, viral or fungal infection, esophageal stenosis, etc.), a history of radiotherapy or cryotherapy of the esophagus, a caustic or physiochemical trauma (esophageal sclerotherapy, etc.). However, participants with Schatzki's ring (mucosal tissue ring around inferior esophageal sphincter) or Barrett's esophagus are allowed to be included.
- •Participants who have received surgery or treatment affecting gastroesophageal reflux (cardioplasty, dilation of esophageal stenosis [excluding Schatzki's ring], etc.), or who have a history of surgery of stomach or duodenum (excluding removal of benign polyp under endoscopy)
- •Participants who have acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding, gastric or duodenal ulcer (mucosal defect with white coating) within 30 days prior to Visit H-1 (initiation of study drug administration). However, participants with gastric or duodenal erosions are allowed to be included.
- •Participants with a previous or current history of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, or other gastric acid hypersecretion disorder

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 24 weeks of maintenance treatment
Time Frame: 24 Weeks.
Endoscopic recurrence of erosive esophagitis is defined as those participants who have endoscopically confirmed EE of Grade A to D as defined by the Los Angeles (LA) Classification Grading System. The definitions of each grade are: Grade O (No mucosal break), Grade A (Mucosal break \<5 mm), Grade B (Mucosal break ≥5 mm), Grade C (Mucosal break continuous between two or more folds and \<75% of the circumference) and Grade D (Mucosal break ≥75% of the circumference).
Secondary Outcomes
- Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 12 weeks of maintenance treatment(12 Weeks.)
