What is "lesogaberan"

n. An experimental drug candidate for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Lesogaberan (AZD-3355) was an experimental drug candidate developed by AstraZeneca for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). As a GABA receptor agonist, it has the same mechanism of action as baclofen, but is anticipated to have fewer of the central nervous system side effects that limit the clinical use of baclofen for the treatment of GERD.
