E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. The subject is ≥ 6 to < 12 years of age at the time of informed consent signing. 2. The subject has a body weight within the 5th through 95th percentile by age, inclusive, as determined by the National Center for Health Statistics. 3. The subject must have a diagnosis of GERD prior to randomization and medical history of signs or symptoms of GERD for at least 3 months prior to screening, based on physical examination, current symptoms (eg, heartburn), or diagnostic tests (eg, pH or endoscopy). Notes in the medical records and/or other source documents, such as prior endoscopies, can be used to support the diagnosis and will be recorded in the electronic case report form (eCRF). 4. The subject has at least one moderate GERD symptom based on the GERD Symptom Assessment-Investigator scale performed at screening. 5. The subject must be able to swallow study drug tablet with water. 6. Parent or legal guardian (ie, legally authorized representative [LAR]) is willing and able to complete the informed consent process and subjects are able to comply with study procedures and visit schedule. 7. Female subjects who have experienced menarche must have a negative pregnancy test and will be counseled on pregnancy avoidance.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. The subject has used prescription or non-prescription PPIs or H2RAs within 7 days prior to randomization or requires use during the Treatment Period. 2. The subject has used sucralfate, or antacids within 1 day prior to randomization or requires their use during the Treatment Period. 3. The subject has received other agents affecting digestive organs, including muscarinic antagonists (eg, hyoscyamine), prokinetics, oral anticholinergic agents, prostaglandins, bismuth from 30 days prior to Day 1 or requires their use during the course of the study. 4. The subject has received atazanavir sulfate or rilpivirine hydrochloride from 5 days prior to Day 1 or requires their use during the course of the study. 5. The subject has received any investigational compound (including vonoprazan) within 30 days prior to the start of the Screening Period. 6. The subject is an immediate family member or is in a dependent relationship with a study site employee who is involved in the conduct of this study (eg, child, sibling) or subject may have consented under duress. 7. The subject requires hospitalization or has surgery scheduled during the course of the study or has undergone major surgical procedures within 30 days prior to the Screening Period. 8. The subject has undergone prior gastrointestinal surgeries. 9. The subject has any abnormal laboratory test values that are considered clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator during the Screening Period. 10. The subject has a history of hypersensitivity or allergies to vonoprazan (including the formulation excipients: D-mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, fumaric acid, ascorbic acid, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, macrogol 8000, and titanium dioxide, or red or yellow ferric oxide). 11. The subject has used any prescription or over-the-counter medications (including herbal or nutritional supplements), other than those already excluded in criteria 1 to 5 above, within 14 days before the first dose of study drug or throughout the study. That is, unless the medication(s) is permitted by the sponsor following a review of available data which confirms concomitant administration of the medication is unlikely to affect either the safety of the patient or the pharmacokinetics of vonoprazan. 12. The subject has consumed grapefruit or grapefruit juice, Seville orange or Seville orange-containing products (eg, marmalade), or other food products that may be CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, vegetables from the mustard green family [kale, broccoli, watercress, collard greens, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, mustard] and charbroiled meats) within 7 days (or 5 half-lives) before the first dose of study drug or throughout the study. 13. The subject has positive results at screening for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection at screening. 14. The subject has severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min). 15. The subject has moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B and Child-Pugh Class C). 16. The subject has any of the following abnormal laboratory test values at the start of the Screening Period: a. Creatinine levels: >0.8 mg/dL (>70 μmol/L). b. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin >2 × ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome). 17. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject is not suitable for entry into the study.
