Exclusion criteria: 1)Diagnosis of Crohn s disease or indeterminate colitis or the presence or history of a fistula consistent with Crohn s disease. 2) Have positive test for C. difficile at screening. If C. difficile is positive, the participant may be treated and retested. 3) Participants who have an evidence of pathogenic bowel infection on screening at inves-tigator s discretion. 4) History of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., hepatitis B or C, syphilis, TB). 5) Laboratory test positive for HBsAg, HCV or HIV at screening 6) Participants who have any known allergy or sensitivity to investigational products or any of its component within 3 months of screening. 7) Participants who have donated blood or blood products within 3 months of screening. Exclusion criteria related to concomitant medication 8) Have had treatment with cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus, or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) within 16 weeks prior to screening. 9) History or planned concurrent treatment with biological agents (infliximab, ada-limumab, vedolizumab, and ustekinumab), immunosuppressive agents (e.g., azathio-prine, 6-MP, or methotrexate) or with lymphocyte-depleting therapies (e.g., Campath, anti-CD4, cladribine, rituximab, ocrelizumab, cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, total body irradiation, bone marrow transplantation, alemtuzumab, daclizumab), Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor (e.g., Tofacitininb) within 7 days or 5 half-lives of medication (which-ever is longer) prior to randomization and systemic steroids (e.g., prednisolone) before 14 days of randomization. 10) History of treatment with an investigational agent within 5 half-lives of that agent prior to randomization. 11) History of treatment with rectal steroids within 2 weeks of screening. 12) Receipt of a live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to randomization. 13) Chronic use of therapies that strongly inhibit or induce CYP3A4 metabolism within 4 weeks prior to randomization. Exclusion criteria related to general health 14) Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, pulmonary, ophthalmological, endocrine, psychiatric or other major systemic disease making implementation of the protocol or interpretation of the study difficult or that would put the participant at risk by participating in the study. 15) Pregnant or lactating women or women of childbearing potential who have positive serum beta HCG test at screening. 16) History of significant alcoholism or drug abuse within the past 1 year.
