E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. 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. 2. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. 3. Willingness to refrain from live or attenuated vaccines during the study and for 12 weeks after last dose. 4. Male or female 18 to 75 years of age, inclusive. 5. 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 (i.e., histopathology report available in the patient’s file); however, a biopsy for a local histopathology assessment at screening can substitute this requirement. 6. Previous or current biologic therapy for UC with documented history of a primary non clinical response or, a secondary loss of response to at least 1 of the following agents used at a dose and regimens approved for the treatment of UC for sufficient time (including approved biosimilars): • Anti-TNF-α agents • Vedolizumab • Ustekinumab Or to 1 of the following investigational biologic agents (i.e. not yet approved in UC) used at a therapeutical dose (in such situations, prescreening discussions with the Medical Monitor of the study will allow to define if the conditions of non-response are met): • Mirikizumab • Rizankizumab • Guselkumab • Other biologic … 7. Patient currently receiving 1 or more of the following medication(s) for UC is eligible, provided that he/she has been receiving such treatment(s) for at least 4 weeks and with no change in dose or frequency in the 2 weeks prior to screening: a. Oral aminosalicylates anticipating that the dose at screening has to be maintained until Week 10. b. Prednisone (stable doses ≤ 20 mg/day) or equivalent, budesonide MMX (stable doses ≤ 9 mg/day), or beclomethasone dipropionate (stable doses ≤ 5 mg/day), anticipating that these stable doses have to be maintained until Week 10. If these medications have recently been stopped, the treatment cessation must have occurred at least 2 weeks prior to screening. 8. Patients who have been previously receiving anti-TNF-α therapy or vedolizumab or ustekinumab must have discontinued this therapy ≥ 8 weeks before the date of baseline endoscopy or ≥ 5 half-lives before the date of baseline endoscopy in case of investigational biologics agents. 9. For patients with UC >8 years, results of a surveillance colonoscopy conducted within 2 years prior to screening are required to rule out dysplasia. This full colonoscopy might be done at screening instead of the procto-sigmoidoscopy to fulfill this requirement. 10. Either chest x-ray within the 3 months prior to screening and/or a negative quantiFERON TB Gold In Tube test according to local guidelines and standard of care to exclude active or latent TB infection. |

Stool culture or other examination positive for enteric pathogen, including Clostridium difficile (C. diff) toxin. If positive, the patient should be treated and rescreening is allowed. 9. Men or women with childbearing potential not willing to use highly effective birth control methods during the study (as described in Section 6.4 of the protocol) from the first study drug administration until the last follow-up visit. Women of childbearing potential will enter the study after a negative pregnancy test. 10. Breastfeeding 11. Chronic use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from screening through the end of the study 12. Use of topical steroids and/or topical 5-aminosalicylic acid preparations within 2 weeks before the screening visit (all such medications should be withdrawn at least 2 weeks prior to the screening visit) 13. Use of antidiarrheals within 2 weeks before the screening visit (all such medications should be withdrawn at least 2 weeks prior to the screening visit) 14. Treatment with azathioprine, 6-MP, methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporin, tacrolimus, sirolimus, leflunomide and/or mycophenolate mofetil within 4 weeks before the screening visit (all such medications should be withdrawn at least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit) 15. Previous failure to more than 3 biologics including anti-TNF-α and/or anti-integrin and/or ustekinumab and/or any other biologics agents 16. Prior treatment with a JAK inhibitor 17. Clinically relevant cardiovascular, hepatic, neurologic, psychiatric, pulmonary, endocrine, or other major systemic disease that would put the patient at risk by participating in the study in the opinion of the investigator 18.

History or known presence of chronic or recurrent infection (hepatitis B, C, HIV) 21. Any autoimmune disease, other than UC, with the exception of controlled Type I diabetes (hemoglobin A1c ≤8%) or treated hypothyroidism 22. Evidence of active malignancy 23.
