Key inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria
Subjects must meet ALL of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study: 1. Men or women 16 to 80 years of age, inclusive, at the time of assent/consent 2. Ability to provide written informed consent or assent (parent or legal guardian must provide consent for a subject < 18 years of age who has assented to participate in the study or as required per local regulations) and to be compliant with the schedule of protocol assessments Disease-specific inclusion criteria: 3. Diagnosed with UC ≥ 3 months prior to screening. The diagnosis of UC must be confirmed by endoscopic and histologic evidence. The endoscopy and histology report should be present in the source documents; however, if not available, the screening endoscopy and histology may serve as such 4. Active UC confirmed by endoscopy with ≥ 10 cm rectal involvement. Inclusion of subjects with proctitis only at baseline will be capped at 15% of the total subjects enrolled. 5. Moderately to severely active UC defined as MMS of 4 to 9, including an ES of ≥ 2 and RB score ≥ 1 6. Received a surveillance colonoscopy (performed according to local standard) within 12 months before baseline to rule out dysplasia in subjects with pancolitis > 8 years duration or subjects with left-sided colitis > 12 years duration. Subjects without a surveillance colonoscopy within the prior 12 months will have a colonoscopy at screening (ie, in place of screening proctosigmoidoscopy). Any adenomatous polyps must be removed prior to their first dose of study treatment. Prior treatment: 7. Demonstrated an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least 1 of the following therapies as defined below: Conventional therapy a. Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds b. Corticosteroids c. Thiopurines Biologic therapy or JAK inhibitor therapy a. Antitumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) antibodies (eg, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, or biosimilars) b. Anti-integrin antibodies (eg, vedolizumab) c. JAK inhibitors (eg, tofacitinib) Note: The medication used to qualify the subject for entry into this category must be approved for the treatment of UC in the country of use. Concomitant treatments: 8. Subjects are permitted to be receiving a therapeutic dose of the following drugs: • Oral 5-ASA compounds provided the dose has been stable for ≥ 2 weeks immediately prior to randomization • Oral corticosteroid therapy (prednisone at a stable dose ≤ 20 mg/day, budesonide at a stable dose ≤ 9 mg/day, or equivalent steroid) provided the dose has been stable for the 4 weeks immediately prior to the screening endoscopy assessment • Immunosuppressive agents such as oral azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine must be discontinued ≥ 2 weeks prior to randomization • Probiotics (eg, Culturelle®, Saccharomyces boulardii) provided the dose has been stable for the 2 weeks immediately prior to randomization • Antidiarrheals (eg, loperamide, diphenoxylate with atropine) for control of chronic diarrhea If oral aminosalicylates or corticosteroids have been recently discontinued, they must have been stopped for at least 2 weeks prior to the endoscopy used for the baseline MMS. Other general inclusion criteria: 9. Vital signs at screening and prerandomization taken in the sitting position: heart rate ≥ 50 bpm, systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 90 mm Hg, and diastolic BP ≥ 55 mm Hg 10.Screening and pre-randomization 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing no clinically significant abnormalities with a PR interval ≤ 200 ms, Fridericia’s corrected QT interval (QTcF) < 450 ms (men) or QTcF < 470 ms (women) 11.Adequate hematological function defined by white blood cell count ≥ 3.5 × 109/L with absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, lymphocyte count ≥ 0.8 × 109/L, platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL 12.Adequate hepatic function defined by a total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) range and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels ≤ 3.0 × ULN. Subjects with an isolated total bilirubin and normal AST and ALT diagnosed with Gilbert’s syndrome may participate 13.Adequate renal function defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 by the CKD-EPI equation at screening 14.Eligible women of childbearing potential must be: a. Nonpregnant, evidenced by a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) pregnancy test at screening and a urine dipstick pregnancy test at Day 1 b. Not breastfeeding 15.Both men and women subjects agree to use a highly effective method of birth control throughout the entire study period, from informed consent through the adverse event reporting period (30 days after the last dose of study treatment), if the possibility of conception exists. Eligible men and women subjects must also agree not to participate in a conception process (ie, actively attempt to become pregnant or to impregnate, sperm donation, in vitro fertilization) during the study and for 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. Highly effective birth control methods include the following: • Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives (starting ≥ 60 days before dosing) in combination with a diaphragm with vaginal spermicide, cervical cap with vaginal spermicide, or male condom; hormonal contraceptives (subjects should be consistently taking the hormonal contraceptive for at least 3 months [90 days] prior to screening) • Standard intrauterine device (IUD; eg, Copper T 380A IUD), intrauterine system (IUS; eg, LNg 20 IUS - progesterone IUD), progesterone implant, or tubal sterilization (≥ 180 days after surgery) • Vasectomized male subjects using a condom, partner using diaphragm with spermicide, cervical cap with spermicide, estrogen and progesterone oral contraceptives (“the pill”), estrogen and progesterone transdermal patch, vaginal ring, or progesterone injection • Complete sexual abstinence defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse for the entire period of risk associated with study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (calendar, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods) is not acceptable Note: Women who are surgically sterile or postmenopausal (defined as: 12 consecutive months with no menses without an alternative medical cause) are not considered to be of childbearing potential. If of childbearing potential, female partners of participating male subjects should agree to utilize a highly effective method of contraception for the duration of study participation.

Key inclusion and exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria
Exclusions related to general health: 1. Severe extensive colitis as evidenced by: • Physician judgment that the subject is likely to require hospitalization for medical care or surgical intervention of any kind for UC (eg, colectomy) within 12 weeks of baseline • Current evidence of fulminant colitis, toxic megacolon or recent history (within last 6 months) of toxic megacolon, or bowel perforation • Previous total or partial colectomy 2.
