That looks like an F minor scale to me. So maybe you could find some scale exercises in that key and work them over and over.
And you could use the metronome method: set the metronome where you are comfortable now, and then increase the tempo setting bit by bit, making sure that you are comfortable with each tempo increase before moving to the next one.
Be sure you have decided what fingerings you are using, and use the same ones every time. Play the pattern down as well as up (i.e., do the patterns forwards and backwards). You could also think of it as two sets of four notes (F through B-flat, C through F) and practice each set separately. (This latter technique helped me a lot when I was confronted with some nasty passage work in a musical I played last winter.)
Would it be correct to assume that this passage is in the nature of a glissando, or just sort of a quick lick that leads into a melodic phrase? If so, it's basically just "transportation." Although we always want to be as precise as possible in our playing, as long as you begin and end on the right notes, it may not matter all that much that you get every intervening note perfectly. This is especially true if other instruments are playing the same thing at the same time -- it's just a "swoop" of sound. If it's a solo, then the exact notes matter more.
