AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Weight greater than or equal to (\>=) 10 kilogram (kg) at the time of consent for screening
* A pathology report to support a documented diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) must be available in the source documents. There is no maximum duration for which a participant needs to be diagnosed with UC. If the pathology report to support a documented diagnosis of UC is not available in the source documents, the screening endoscopy with biopsies (obtained within 3 weeks before first study intervention administration) needs to support the diagnosis of UC.
* Moderately to severely active UC, defined by a baseline modified Mayo (without physician's global assessment) score of 5 through 9 inclusive, with a screening Mayo endoscopy subscore \>= 2 as determined by a central review of the video of the endoscopy
* Medically stable based on physical examination, medical history, and vital signs, performed at screening. Any abnormalities must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and acknowledged by the investigator
* Participants must have had an inadequate response and/or intolerance to biologic therapy and/or conventional therapies or be dependent upon corticosteroids
Exclusion Criteria:
* Have UC limited to the rectum only or to less than (\<) 20 centimeter of the colon
* Presence of a stoma
* Has had any kind of bowel resection within 6 months or any other …
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?

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.
