Purpose

The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of AZD3355 as an add-on treatment to a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) on Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms in patients with an incomplete response to PPI treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Participants With at Most One Day With Not More Than Mild Intensity of the Symptoms 'a Burning Feeling Behind the Breastbone' and 'Unpleasant Movement of Material Upwards From the Stomach' During the Last Seven Days of Treatment [ Time Frame: Twice daily during the last seven days on treatment ]
