Are you struggling with indigestion and heartburn?

Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Disease (NERD)

The pHalcon NERD-302 study is for adults who have been experiencing gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) symptoms. For those with frequent heartburn due to GERD, current treatment options include Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), yet none are FDA approved to be taken “as needed” for heartburn relief. For these reasons, more options are needed.

What is Non-Erosive Gastroesophageal Disease (NERD)?

GERD is when stomach contents frequently back-up or (reflux) into the esophagus, which is a “tube” that connects the throat and stomach. GERD sometimes causes symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and indigestion.

Non-Erosive typically means you experience all of the symptoms of GERD without having visible and/or physical damage done to the lining of the esophagus or “tube”.

Most Common Symptoms Include:

  • Frequent Heartburn or burning chest pain

  • Ongoing cough

  • Sore throat

  • Burping

  • Difficulty swallowing
