| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HMPL-004 given at 1200 mg/day, or 1800 mg/day in three divided doses, compared with placebo, in patients with mild to moderate ulcerative colitis as defined by the percent of patients in each treatment group attaining clinical response at week 8, which is a decrease in the Mayo Score from the baseline by = 3 points AND = 30% decrease in the Mayo score along with either a decrease in the rectal bleeding score = 1 OR an absolute rectal bleeding score = 1.;Secondary Objective: • To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of patients in each treatment group with a clinical remission at week 8. • To determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of patients in each treatment group with a significant decrease from baseline in the Mayo endoscopy sub score = 1 AND absolute score = 1 (mucosal healing). • To determine the time to response • To compare the decrease in the mean and median Mayo Score at baseline and week 8 in each treatment group. • To determine if there is a significant difference in any of the above efficacy measurements in patients with/without Mesalamine used as a concomitant medication. • To assess if there is a dose response difference in any of the above efficacy measurements in patients with two dose level of the HMPL-004. • To assess safety in patients Exploratory Objective: To determine normalization of the CRP values in those patients entering the study with elevated values.;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients in each treatment group with a decrease in Mayo Score from baseline = 3 AND = 30% decrease in the Mayo score, along with either a decrease in rectal bleeding score = 1 OR absolute rectal bleeding score = 1 after 8 weeks of treatment with HMPL-004 given orally three times/day.;Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of HMPL-004 given at 1200 mg/day, or 1800 mg/day in thre | — |
