AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Provision of signed and dated informed consent document indicating that the patient has been informed of all the pertinent aspects of the trial prior to enrollment
. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures
. Willingness to refrain from live or attenuated vaccines during the study and for 12 weeks after last dose
. Male or female 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive
. Diagnosis of moderate to severe active UC made at least 3 months before the screening visit. The diagnosis of UC must have been confirmed by endoscopy, with a minimal extent of 15 cm from anal margin and histology (Moderate to severe active UC is defined by a modified Mayo score between 4 and 9, inclusive. The modified Mayo score is defined by the addition of the rectal bleeding subscore, the stool frequency sub-score, and the endoscopic sub-score. Thus, to be included, a patient must have the following:
. a rectal bleeding score ≥ 1,
. a stool frequency score ≥ 1 (sub-score calculated before bowel preparation), and
. an endoscopic sub-score ≥ 2

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Change From Baseline in Modified Mayo Score (MMS) at Week 10
. Physician judgment that patient is likely to require any surgery for UC during the study duration, or double-blind phase duration at least
. Evidence of fulminant colitis, toxic megacolon, or perforation
. Current or recent (within 4 weeks prior to screening) hospitalization for UC care and/or treatment with IV steroids
. The following laboratory results at screening:
