2. Subject 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.
3. At the Initial Screening and Day -1 visits, subject must have body weight percentile-for-age within the 5th through 95th percentile by age, inclusive, as determined by the WHO growth chart.
4. Subjects must be =3.4 kg at the Screening and Day -1 visits.
5. Subjects who take prescription or nonprescription PPIs, histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs), sucralfate, or antacids on a regular or as required basis must agree to discontinue use on Day -1 (except cimetidine, which must be discontinued 28 days prior to Day -1), and agree to discontinue use throughout the study.
6. Subject must have endoscopically proven EE, a history of EE, and/or the subject has 1 or more of the following underlying conditions that predispose the subject to chronic GERD and EE: moderate to severe neurologic impairment, repaired esophageal atresia, hiatal hernia, cystic fibrosis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or end-stage renal disease.
7. Except for subjects with EE, history of EE, or repaired esophageal atresia, subjects have:
- Received prior PPI 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
AND
- Have undergone esophageal pH monitoring in the recent past to document that their symptoms are due to acid-mediated disease.
8. Subject 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 oral syringe.
9. Subject must be at least 7 days postsurgery by dosing on Day 1 and have no anticipated need for surgery during the study.
10. Screening laboratory samples must be collected between Day -7 and Day -2 and the results must be within the range expected for this infant population (except gastrin and hepatitis panel results as those results will be available after Day 1). The laboratory results should indicate no CS abnormality in chemistry (including electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen [BUN]), creatinine, glucose, ALT, AST, and total bilirubin), hematology (complete blood cell count, including differential), and urinalysis parameters (if standard of care).

1. Subject 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 CS, 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 subject to participate or potentially may confound the study results.

3. Subject has poor venous access or any contraindication to blood sampling.
4. Subject 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.
5. Subject has active malabsorption syndrome, cow’s milk intolerance, milk protein allergy, or celiac disease.
6. Subject 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, PPIs).
