1.Age =18 and =80 years at Screening., 10.Demonstrated an inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least 1 of the following agents: Corticosteroids Signs and symptoms of persistently active disease despite a history of at least one 4-week induction regimen that included a dose equivalent to prednisone 30 mg daily orally for 2 weeks or intravenously for 1 week. OR Two failed attempts to taper corticosteroids to below a dose equivalent to prednisone 10 mg daily orally (i.e., corticosteroid dependent patients). OR History of intolerance to corticosteroids (including, but not limited to Cushing’s syndrome, osteopenia/osteoporosis, hyperglycemia, insomnia, infection). Immunomodulators Signs and symptoms of persistently active disease despite a history of at least one 8-week regimen of oral azathioprine (=1.5 mg/kg) or 6-mercaptopurine mg/kg (=0.75 mg/kg). OR History of intolerance to at least one immunomodulator (including, but not limited to, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain, pancreatitis, LFT abnormalities, lymphopenia, TPMT genetic mutation, infection). Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFa) antagonists Non-responders/inadequate response despite a history of at least one induction regimen/loading dose of TNFa antagonists as per summary of product characteristics (SmPC). OR Recurrence of symptoms during maintenance dosing following prior clinical benefit (discontinuation despite clinical benefit does not qualify). OR History of intolerance to TNFa antagonists (including, but not limited to site/infusion-related reaction, demyelination, congestive heart failure, infection)., 11.May be receiving a therapeutic dose of the following drugs: a.Oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) compounds provided that the dose has been stable for the 2 weeks prior to randomization. b.Oral corticosteroid therapy (at a dose of =30 mg/day prednisone equivalent) provided that the dose has been stable for the 4 weeks immediately prior to randomization (if corticosteroids have just been initiated), or for the 2 weeks immediately prior to randomization (if corticosteroids are being tapered). c.Probiotics (e.g., Culturelle, Saccharomyces boulardii) provided that the dose has been stable for the 2 weeks immediately prior to randomization. d.Antidiarrheals (e.g., loperamide, diphenoxylate with atropine) for control of chronic diarrhea. e.Azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine provided that the dose has been stable for the 8 weeks immediately prior to randomization., 12.Able to participate in all aspects of this clinical study., 13.Male or female patient who is voluntarily able to give informed consent., 2.At Screening, females of childbearing potential must be non pregnant and non-lactating; or females should be of non childbearing potential (either surgically sterilized or physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, or at least 1 year post-menopausal [amenorrhea duration of 12 consecutive months]); non-pregnancy will be confirmed for all females of childbearing potential by a serum pregnancy test conducted at Screening., 3.Female patients of childbearing potential, with a fertile male sexual partner, must use highly effective contraception from Screening until 18 weeks after the last dose of study drug., 4.Male patients who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential agree they will use highly effective contraception from Screening until 30 days after the last dose of study drug if not surgically sterilized at least 6 months b
