Who may be able to join
- Adults aged 18 to 65 years (male or female).
- People with a confirmed diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (based on colonoscopy and tissue examination) that affects the left side of the colon, with mild to moderate active disease.
- People whose disease scores at least 4 on a standard activity scale (called the modified Mayo Score), including specific minimum scores for bowel lining inflammation and rectal bleeding.
- People who have not responded well to, lost response to, or could not tolerate at least one standard medication such as aminosalicylates (e.g., mesalamine, sulfasalazine), steroids, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, or methotrexate, and whose doctor considers an alternative treatment necessary.
- People who did not achieve full symptom relief after completing at least one full course of standard treatments (aminosalicylates, steroids, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) over a minimum of 4 weeks, and whose doctor considers an alternative necessary.
- People who have previously used biologic medicines (such as anti-TNF, anti-integrin, or anti-interleukin treatments) for ulcerative colitis without sufficient benefit may be considered, provided enough time has passed since stopping that treatment (generally five times the medicine's half-life, or a shorter period if blood tests confirm the medicine is no longer detectable) (confirm with trial site).
- Women who are not pregnant and not breastfeeding, and who either cannot become pregnant or who agree to use a highly effective form of contraception during the study and for at least 6 weeks after the last dose.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at the screening visit and a negative urine pregnancy test before the first dose.
- Men who agree not to donate sperm during the study and for at least 6 weeks after the last dose, and who either abstain from sexual activity that could result in pregnancy or agree to use a condom; male participants are also advised that their female partner using additional contraception is recommended.
- People who are able to understand and sign a written consent form before any study procedures begin.
- People with acceptable blood test results for general health, blood counts, liver function, and kidney function at the screening visit.
- People who have stopped aminosalicylates or steroids at least 2 weeks before the baseline colonoscopy, or stopped azathioprine, mercaptopurine, or methotrexate at least 8 weeks before the baseline colonoscopy.
- For a smaller group of 30 participants taking part in a detailed drug-level (pharmacokinetic) sub-study: people who agree to additional blood sampling and who have suitable vein access for blood draws.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

- People with a modified Mayo Score of 8 or higher, indicating severe disease.
- People with a known allergy to the study medicines or who have had a serious reaction to them in the past.
- People showing signs of very severe colitis complications, such as toxic megacolon, bowel narrowing, a potential need for a blood transfusion due to gut bleeding, or signs of infection spreading in the abdomen.
- People with a documented history of high-grade abnormal cell changes (dysplasia) found during a previous colonoscopy biopsy.
- People with active gut infection, including infection with Clostridium difficile bacteria, detected in stool samples.
- People with a history of repeated Clostridium difficile infections.

- People who took part in any other clinical trial or post-marketing study (including medical devices) within 30 days before signing the consent form.
- People with any other condition that the investigating doctor considers would make participation unsafe or affect the study results.
- People with uncontrolled high blood pressure (systolic of 140 mmHg or higher, or diastolic of 90 mmHg or higher) despite being on appropriate blood pressure treatment at screening.

Trial details
This date has passed while the registry still lists the trial as open to participants. Sponsors often update a trial's status without revising its projected end date, so it may well still be recruiting — but the record is out of date in at least one respect. Check with the study contact before relying on either.
