Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Regression of Gastric Carcinoids and/or ECL Cell Hyperplasia Defined by Physical Measurements Taken During Endoscopy	Regression is defined as a 25% reduction in the size / number of endoscopically evident type II gastric carcinoids. For each participant, three gastric carcinoids were identified and measured at baseline. The same gastric carcinoids were then measured at the Week 12 visit and the percentage difference in size from baseline calculated. The mean percentage change of the three gastric carcinoids per participant is recorded.	Week 12 visit
Primary	A Reduction of 25% in the Gastric ECL Cell Density.	A reduction of 25% in the gastric ECL cell density.	Week 12 visit
Secondary	Improvement in Histological Grade of Gastric Carcinoids/ECL Cell Hyperplasia Defined by Physical Measurements Taken During Endoscopy	Reduction in the histological grade of the carcinoids/hyperplasia when compared to baseline.	Week 12 visit
Secondary	Level of Chromogranin A (CgA) Biomarkers Measured in Blood Samples	The level of a key biomarker chromogranin A (CgA) that is circulating in the blood was measured.	Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)
Secondary	Acid Control Study 1, Control of Gastric Acid Secretion Assessed by Changes in Drug-controlled Gastric Acid Analysis, Volume of Gastric Aspirate	Assessed by changes in drug-controlled gastric acid analysis. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was placed through one nare and into the stomach. Gastric secretions were suctioned and discarded at T = 0 and then aspirated for 1 h in 15 min increments to measure the control acid output. Patients who could not tolerate NGT placement had endoscopic gastric analysis (EGA) performed during upper endoscopy. During EGA, a single 10 - 15 min collection was aspirated under direct visualization. Patients 01 and 02 had acid measured via NGT, whereas Patient 03 had acid measured via EGA. At the Week 2 visit, the baseline acid control was measured. At the Week 6 visit, the acid control was measured after a dose of netazepide. Results are provided for three acid control measures: Volume of aspirate (mL); Acid in aspirate (mEq); Acid output (mEq)	Week 2 visit (baseline) and Week 6 visit
Secondary	Decrease in ECL Cell-specific Products Assessed by Quantitative PCR	Assessed by quantitative PCR.	Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)
Secondary	Improvement in Reflux/Dyspepsia Symptoms Using the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) Instrument	Assessed by the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Health Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) instrument. Patients assessed a total of 10 symptoms on a scale of 0-5 where: 0 = no symptoms; 1 = symptoms noticeable, but not bothersome; 2 = symptoms noticeable and bothersome, but not every day; 3 = symptoms bothersome everyday; 4 = symptoms affect daily activities; and 5 = symptoms are incapacitating (unable to do daily activities). The total score was summed and reported. The maximum obtainable total score was 50 and minimum obtainable total score was 0, with higher scores indicating a worse outcome and lower scores indicating a better outcome.	Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)
Secondary	Safety and Tolerability	Assessed by monitoring adverse events reported by patients	Week 2 visit (baseline), Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)
Secondary	Circulating Plasma Concentration of Gastrin	The level of gastrin biomarkers circulating in the blood was measured.	Week 6 visit, Week 12 visit, Follow-up (12 weeks after stopping YF476 treatment)
Secondary	Acid Control Study 2, Control of Gastric Acid Secretion Assess by Changes in Drug-controlled Gastric Acid Analysis: Acid Content in Gastric Aspirate	Assessed by changes in drug-controlled gastric acid analysis. A nasogastric tube (NGT) was placed through one nare and into the stomach. Gastric secretions were suctioned and discarded at T = 0 and then aspirated for 1 h in 15 min increments to measure the control acid output. Patients who could not tolerate NGT placement had endoscopic gastric analysis (EGA) performed during upper endoscopy. During EGA, a single 10 - 15 min collection was aspirated under direct visualization. Patients 01 and 02 had acid measured via NGT, whereas Patient 03 had acid measured via EGA.

Results are provided for three acid control measures: Volume of aspirate (mL); Acid in aspirate (mEq); Acid output (mEq)	Week 2 visit (baseline) and Week 6 visit
