Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Provision of signed and dated informed consent form (ICF)
- •Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study

Doses of oral drugs must remain stable until the end of study treatment (with possible exception for tapering steroid dose after 8 weeks)

- •For males of reproductive potential: use of condoms or other methods to ensure effective contraception with partner during study participation and for an additional 3 months after the last dose
Exclusion Criteria
- •Use of anti-TNF-a biologics or any other biologics for treatment of UC within 60 days prior to randomization.
- •Any rectal therapy for treatment of UC or intravenous corticosteroids within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
- •Presence of Crohn's disease, indeterminate colitis, ischemic colitis, fulminant colitis, ulcerative proctitis, or toxic mega-colon
- •Previous extensive colonic resection (subtotal or total colectomy)
- •Ileostomy, colostomy, or known fixed symptomatic stenosis of the intestine
- •Evidence of or treatment for Clostridium difficile infection or other pathogenic bowel infection within 60 days or for another intestinal pathogen within 30 days prior to randomization
- •Active infection with the HIV or Hepatitis B or C viruses
- •Clinically significant active extra-intestinal infection (e.g., pneumonia, pyelonephritis)
- •Clinically significant abnormal vital signs, physical examination or 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) at screening or baseline
- •Clinically significant abnormal results of liver function tests (ALT/AST, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase) \> 2X the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Total Mayo Score
Time Frame: Week 8
The Total Mayo score is an instrument designed to measure disease activity of ulcerative colitis, with scores ranging from 0 to 12 points. The Total Mayo score consists of 4 subscores( Stool frequency, Rectal bleeding, Findings of endoscopy, Physician global assessment), each graded from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more severe disease.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Partial Mayo Score(Week 8)
- Change From Baseline in Histologic Assessment of Endoscopic Biopsy(Week 8)
- Change From Baseline in Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (0-8)(Week 8)
- Number and Severity of TEAEs(up to 8 weeks after the last dose)
- Plasma Concentration of BBT- 401-1S(Day 1, Week 4, Week 8)
- Change From Baseline in Concentration of Serum CRP(Week 8)
- Change From Baseline in Concentration of Fecal Calprotectin(Week 8)
- Change From Baseline in Concentration of Fecal Lactoferrin(Week 8)
