Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is the average weekly number of RP attacks during maintenance period as determined from daily entries in electronic Diaries (eDiary).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: NA;Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to determine the activity of selexipag on Raynaud attack frequency in subjects with Raynaud’s Phenomenon (RP) secondary to Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).;Secondary Objective: • to explore the effect of selexipag in reducing the impact of RP on subject's Quality of Life (QoL). • to assess the safety and tolerability of selexipag in subjects with RP secondary to SSc. • to explore relationships between plasma concentration of selexipag and its metabolite ACT-333679 to IP receptor activation or SSc biomarkers
