Outcomes Primary outcome measures:
•Change in the Raynaud's Condition Score during the fourth week of treatment from baseline, comparing active drug to placebo (Time frame: 28 days)  
Secondary outcome measures:
•Change in the number of Raynaud's Phenomenon attacks per week during the fourth week of treatment compared to the number of Raynaud's Phenomenon attacks week at baseline (Time frame: 28 days)
•Change in the total duration of Raynaud's Phenomenon attacks per week during the fourth week of treatment compared to the total duration of Raynaud's Phenomenon attacks per week at baseline (Time frame: 28 days)
•Improvements in Raynaud's pain score comparing active to placebo (Time frame: 28 days)
•Decrease ulcer burden in secondary Raynaud's Phenomenon patients by hastening healing or preventing new ulcer emergence (Time frame: 28 days)
•Plasma concentration of PF‐00489791 and metabolites (Time frame: 28 days)
•Safety and tolerability of PF‐00489791 as assessed by incidences of treatment emergent adverse events and changes from baseline for clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, orthostatic blood pressure measurements and 12‐lead ECG parameters (Time frame: 98 days)
Starting date Study start date: August 2010
Study completion date: May 2011
Primary completion date: May 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
