Moderately to severely active UC, defined as an MMS of 5 to 9, including an ES >= 2 and an RB subscore >= 1 (3) Surveillance colonoscopy within 12 months before baseline or at screening to rule out dysplasia, pancolitis, left-sided colitis. Any adenomatous polyps must be removed prior to the first dose of study drug. (4) Demonstrated inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least 1 of the following therapies: Conventional therapy, Oral 5-ASA compounds, Corticosteroids, Thiopurines, Biologic therapy/ JAK inhibitor therapy, TNFα antibodies, Anti-interleukin (anti-IL)12/23, Anti-integrin antibodies, (5) Adequate hepatic function (6) Adequate renal function, with estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening (7) Patients are permitted to receive the following concomitant medications: a.Oral 5-ASA compounds at a stable dose or discontinued for >= 2 weeks prior to Screening endoscopy b.Oral corticosteroid therapy at a stable dose or discontinued for >= 2 weeks prior to Screening endoscopy c.Probiotics, provided the dose has been stable for >= 2 weeks prior to Screening endoscopy

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Severe extensive colitis as evidenced by: a. Physician judgment that the patient is likely to require surgical intervention of any kind for UC within 12 weeks of baseline. b.

Diagnosis of Crohnâ??s disease or indeterminate colitis. 3. Diagnosis of microscopic colitis, ischemic colitis, or infectious colitis 4.

Myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke/transient ischemic attack, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, or Class III/IV heart failure within to or during the Screening Period. b.

Start, stop, or change in dosage of any Class I-IV anti-arrhythmic drugs dose titration starting at randomization and up to 1 week after titration to the assigned dose. This criterion also applies to the OLE Treatment Period titration: 1 week prior to and 1 week after the dose titration period. 9.
