6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Adults The safety of dexlansoprazole was evaluated in 4,548 adult patients in controlled and single-arm clinical trials, including 863 patients treated for at least six months and 203 patients treated for one year.
Patients ranged in age from 18 to 90 years (median age 48 years), with 54% female, 85% Caucasian, 8% Black, 4% Asian, and 3% Other races.
Six randomized controlled clinical trials were conducted for the treatment of EE, maintenance of healed EE, and symptomatic GERD, which included 896 patients on placebo, 455 patients on dexlansoprazole 30 mg capsules, 2,218 patients on dexlansoprazole 60 mg capsules, and 1,363 patients on lansoprazole 30 mg once daily.
Common Adverse Reactions The most common adverse reactions (≥2%) that occurred at a higher incidence for dexlansoprazole capsules than placebo in the controlled studies are presented in Table 2 .

Pediatrics The safety of dexlansoprazole was evaluated in controlled and single-arm clinical trials including 166 pediatric patients, 12 to 17 years of age for the treatment of symptomatic non-erosive GERD, healing of EE, maintenance of healed EE and relief of heartburn [see Clinical Studies (14.4) ] .
The adverse reaction profile was similar to that of adults.
The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of patients were headache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasopharyngitis and oropharyngeal pain.
Other Adverse Reactions See the full prescribing information for lansoprazole for other adverse reactions not observed with dexlansoprazole.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of dexlansoprazole.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
