This study looks at how well and safely two doses of the medicine pantoprazole work in kids aged 1 to 17 who have healed from a condition called erosive esophagitis. Erosive esophagitis is when the esophagus, a tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach, gets hurt and inflamed. Pantoprazole is a type of medicine called a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), which helps reduce stomach acid to help the esophagus heal. The study uses different doses based on the child’s weight to see which works best. Not everyone can join. For example, kids who have had certain medicines or have specific health problems cannot participate. Eligible participants must visit the study site, follow the treatment plan, and use a diary to track their health. The study makes sure participants and their parents understand and agree to all parts of the study. There could be some risks, like side effects of the medicine, but the study team will monitor them.
- The study involves regular visits and following a treatment plan.
- Participants will need to keep a diary of their symptoms and experiences.
- Eligibility is based on age, health condition, and previous treatments.
