Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Raynaud's phenomenon (defined as a history of digital cold sensitivity associated with color changes of cyanosis and pallor, with on average at least 5 attacks per week during the winter period) secondary to systemic sclerosis (SSc)
- Both men and women participants agree to use a highly effective method of birth control if the possibility of conception exists
- Body mass index 18.0 to 40.0 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2), inclusive
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active digital ulcer(s), recent history (within 3 months of Screening) of digital ulcers, or history of recurrent digital ulcerations that in the opinion of the Investigator increase the likelihood of developing a digital ulcer during the course of the study. Any history of gangrene, amputations, or other critical digital ischemic event
- Raynaud's phenomenon due to any cause other than SSc
- Severe gastrointestinal complications related to SSc that in the opinion of the Investigator could significantly affect study drug absorption
- History of gastrointestinal bleeding or active gastric or duodenal ulcers
