Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Time-course of changes in 24-hour gastroesophageal pH
Week 8

Gastric and esophageal pH4 HTR (pH 4 Holding Time Ratio) will be calculated based on 24-hour gastroesophageal pH monitoring.

Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 24 weeks of maintenance treatment
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).

Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
52 Weeks

Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product reported from first dose of study drug through the last visit.

Endoscopic Healing Rate Over 8 Weeks of Erosive Esophagitis
8 Weeks

Endoscopic healing of erosive esophagitis is defined as those participants who have endoscopically confirmed EE of Grade O 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 Endpoints
Endoscopically confirmed recurrence rate of erosive esophagitis after 12 weeks of maintenance treatment
12 Weeks.

LansoprazoleDRUGIn the treatment period, the participants will receive treatment of TAK-438 20 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to 8 weeks. In the maintenance treatment period, the participants will receive treatment of TAK-438 placebo-matching tablets, orally, once daily and lansoprazole 15 mg, capsules, orally, once daily for up to 24 weeks.
PlaceboDRUGLansoprazole placebo-matching capsules, orally, once daily for up to 8 weeks. For participants whose EE is not endoscopically healed at Week 8, the participants will receive additional treatment of TAK-438 40 mg, tablets, orally, once daily for up to an additional 8 weeks.
