| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of orally administered LX1606 after 8 weeks in a cohort of subjects with acute, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis.;Secondary Objective: • Examine the relationship between reductions in 5-HIAA levels and clinical improvement in ulcerative colitis • Evaluate differences between each LX1606 dose group and placebo for the following measures at Week 8: - Proportion of subjects achieving clinical response - Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission - Change from baseline in the total modified Mayo score ;Primary end point(s): Assessment of safety and tolerability of LX1606 after 8 weeks in a cohort of subjects with acute, mild to moderate ulcerative colitis. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Throughout the duration of the study | — |
