The makers of Prilosec, which is due out next year, have promised to launch a major clinical trial for a similar drug for the same conditions.
It is also being investigated by US authorities and a government agency to see if it is possible to treat some of the common causes of heartburn and ulcers by treating acid-related conditions. It is also being studied in other countries and is expected to become available in the first half of 2014.
The new trial for Prilosec is being launched in the US at a trial of 10mg of Nioxin, which is used to treat the same conditions. The drug was originally patented by AstraZeneca, the maker of Nexium, in 1998 and it now faces competition from more expensive versions of the drug.
The drugs are being tested in patients with conditions including heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which occurs when stomach acid levels fall too low, ulcers are caused by surgery and heartburn is caused by acid.
The drugs are also being tested for the treatment of ulcers in people with Crohn's disease, a condition in which the inflammation is too strong and causes a flare-up of the stomach.
Prilosec has already been approved for use in the US as an anti-ulcerant, so the drug could be a possible therapy for those with ulcers.
Dr John Davies, who is also a co-founder and co-author of the trial, said: “We are extremely excited to be able to take on the clinical trials of Prilosec for these conditions.”
The company has a trial programme which can be accessed online from www.prilosec.com.

AstraZeneca, which develops, produces and markets a range of medicines for a range of conditions, said the drug had been developed by Pfizer and AstraZeneca.
