   - Subjects must have a minimum of 10 symptomatic Raynaud's Phenomenon attacks,
   documented in the electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) diary, occurring over at
   least 3 separate days of the 3- to 5-day eligibility period

   - Subjects must complete a minimum of 80% of the daily ePRO diary entry during the
   baseline period

   - Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects must agree to use
   contraception for the duration of the study.

   - Subjects must be willing and able to comply with the study requirements and give

   gastric antral vascular ectasia or active peptic ulcer disease, within 60 days of
   screening

   - Subjects who have had any cerebrovascular events (eg, transient ischemic attack or
   stroke) within 6 months of screening

   - Subjects with scleroderma renal crisis within 6 months of screening

   - Subjects with a concomitant life-threatening disease with a life expectancy <12 months

   - Subjects who have a clinically significant disorder that, in the opinion of the
   Investigator, could contraindicate the administration of study drug, affect
   compliance, interfere with study evaluations, or confound the interpretation of study
   results

   - Subjects who have taken or are currently taking any parenteral, inhaled, or oral
   prostacyclin or prostacyclin receptor agonists (eg, epoprostenol, treprostinil,
   iloprost, and selexipag) within 8 weeks of screening

   - Subjects who have initiated or had a dose change of any of the following within 2
   weeks of screening: oral, topical, or intravenous (IV) vasodilators (eg, calcium
