Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The maximal acid output (MAO) during pentagastrin stimulation after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods.		MAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment (Day 11 or Day 20)
Secondary	Basal acid output (BAO) after 10 days administration of 40 mg esomeprazole for both study periods. (Day 11 or Day 20)		BAO will be assessed after 10 days of treatment
Secondary	To compare MAO when switching (after Day 2 in the second study period versus after Day 10 in the first study period) from oral to intravenous dosing and from intravenous to oral dosing.		Assessments at Day 2 and after Day 10 (Day 11 or Day 20)
Secondary	To evaluate the safety of intravenous esomeprazole in subjects with symptoms of GERD.		Safety assessments throughout the study
