a. Inadequate response to or failure to tolerate current treatment with oral corticosteroids or immunomodulators (6 mercaptopurine [6-MP] or azathioprine [AZA]) OR
b. History of failure to respond to, or tolerate, at least 1 of the following therapies: oral or IV corticosteroids or immunomodulators (6-MP or AZA) OR
c. History of corticosteroid dependence (that is, an inability to successfully taper corticosteroids without a return of the symptoms of UC)
- Before the first administration of study agent, the following conditions must be met: vedolizumab must have been discontinued for at least 4 months and antitumor necrosis factors (TNFs) [or approved biosimilars for these therapies] for at least 8 weeks

Principal exclusion criteria

- Has severe extensive colitis and is at imminent risk of colectomy
- Has UC limited to the rectum only or to < 20 centimeters (cm) of the colon
- Presence of a stoma or history of a fistula
- Participants with history of extensive colonic resection (for example, less than 30 cm of colon remaining) that would prevent adequate evaluation of the effect of study agent on clinical disease activity
- Participants with history of colonic mucosal dysplasia
- Participants will not be excluded from the study because of a pathology finding of “indefinite dysplasia with reactive atypia''
