Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Safety Measures
Approximately 9 months (vital signs, AE's and concomitant medications will be recorded throughout the study)

Safety evaluations will be based on the incidence, intensity and type of AEs and clinically significant changes in vital signs (pulse rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse oximetry and temperature), and changes in concomitant medications throughout the study. Evaluation of safety will also be based on subject's physical examination, signs and symptoms of PAH, routine clinical laboratory tests (hematology, chemistry, coagulation panel, and urinalysis), ECG, and NYHA (WHO) classification at the screening and end of study follow up visits.

Pain Score on a Visual Analogue Scale
14 days after a new infusion site

Patients will record the maximum intensity of pain (0-10) each day after placing an infusion site in a diary with which they are already comfortable. They will record the score each day for 14 days unless they have recorded "0" for two consecutive days. The primary outcome measure will be the average of those 14 maximum intensity pain scores (the sum of the maximum for each day divided by the number of days, generally 14; range 0-10).

Secondary Endpoints
Efficacy measure - change in mean NPRS score
Approximately 9 months. Average daily NPRS scores from Weeks 1 and 2 of each treatment period will be expressed as percentage changes from the average daily NPRS score at baseline
Number of Participants Who Experienced Greater Than 6 Pain Level Using the 10 Point Visual Analog Score
