Primary Outcome Measures :

An evaluable heartburn episode is an episode for which study drug is taken and for which the participant completes at least one entry in the heartburn episode diary.
For a heartburn episode to be considered completely relieved, a participant must not take rescue antacid within 3 hours of taking study drug.
Secondary Outcome Measures :

An evaluable heartburn episode is an episode for which study drug is taken and for which the participant completes at least one entry in the heartburn episode diary.
For a heartburn episode to be considered completely relieved, a participant must not take rescue antacid within 3 hours of taking study drug.
- Percentage of Evaluable Heartburn Episodes for Each Participant That are Completely Relieved Within 3 Hours and With No Further Heartburn Reported for 24 Hours After Taking Study Drug [ Time Frame: On-Demand Treatment Period Day 1 to Day 42 ]
An evaluable heartburn episode is an episode for which study drug is taken and for which the participant completes at least one entry in the heartburn episode diary.
For a heartburn episode to be considered completely relieved, a participant must not take rescue antacid within 3 hours of taking study drug.
- Mean Number of Tablets of Rescue Antacid Taken Per Day Over the On-Demand Treatment Period [ Time Frame: On-Demand Treatment Period Day 1 to Day 42 ]
- Percentage of Participants With Complete Relief of Heartburn Within 3 Hours After the First Episode and With No Further Heartburn Reported for 24 Hours After Taking Study Drug [ Time Frame: On-Demand Treatment Period Day 1 to Day 42 ]
- Percentage of Days Study Drug was Taken Over the On-Demand Treatment Period [ Time Frame: On-Demand Treatment Period Day 1 to Day 42 ]

The participant is informed of the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects. The participant has the ability to cooperate with the investigator. Ample time and opportunity should be given to read and understand verbal and/or written instructions.
- The participant identified their main symptom as heartburn, a burning sensation in the retrosternal area (behind the breastbone).
- History of episodes of heartburn for 6 months or longer prior to screening.
- Heartburn reported on 4 or more days during any 7 consecutive days in the Screening Period as recorded in the electronic diary.
- A female participant of childbearing potential who is or may be sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner agrees to routinely use adequate contraception from the signing of informed consent until 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug.

- The participant has no heartburn the last 7 days of the Run-In Period.
- The participant continues to meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the Run-In Period (except Inclusion Criteria 4).
- Participant completes at least 80% of diary entries during Run-In Period, including 80% of diary entries over the last 7 days.
