Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female, age =18 and <75 years, suffering from UC for at least 6 months prior to screening.
2. If the patient is a female, she is eligible to enter the study if she is of non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who has undergone sterilization [hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation] or is post-menopausal. For purposes of this study, postmenopausal is defined as 1 year without menses).
OR
If she is of childbearing potential, she is eligible to enter the study if she has a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and, one of the following:
a) Agrees to use hormonal prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, implants, intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), intrauterine device (IUD) inserted by a qualified clinician with published data showing that the lowest expected failure rate is less than or equal to 1% per year (not all IUDs meet this criterion), for the duration of the study, plus a further 90-day period. The Investigator will be responsible for determining whether the patient is using appropriate birth control method for study participation.
b) Has a vasectomized partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success), or the partner agrees to use medically acceptable and highly effective method of contraception such as double barrier method of contraception, specifically, use of a condom and spermicide throughout the study period and 90-day period after the study.
c) For non-sexually active females, abstinence may be regarded as an adequate method of birth control only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. However, if the patient becomes heterosexually active during the study treatment period, she must agree to use adequate birth control methods as defined above for the remainder of the study treatment period.
3. If the patient is a male, he is eligible to enter the study if he is vasectomized or agrees to use medically acceptable and highly effective method of contraception such as double barrier method of contraception, specifically, use of condom and spermicide throughout the study period and 90-day period after the study.
4. Diagnosis of active UC with modified UCDAI =4 and =10, with endoscopy score of =1 in the modified UCDAI mucosal appearance subscore.
5. Patients with either newly diagnosed or relapsed UC (onset of current episode of relapse must be within 6 weeks prior to screening). In addition, the diagnosis of UC must be confirmed by endoscopic and histologic evidence in the past; if prior confirmation is not available, this must be done at the time of screening visit.
6. Patients must have up-to-date surveillance colonoscopy for malignancy, per treatment guideline.
7. Willing and able to provide signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

Patients meeting any of the following criteria are ineligible to participate in this study:
1. Patients diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, indeterminate colitis, ischaemic colitis, or active gastric or active duodenal ulcers.
2. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
3. Ulcerative proctitis with =15 cm of disease
4. Patients with infectious colitis, as determined by assessment for Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) and fecal pathogens at screening, or treatment for C. difficile within 30 days prior to screening
5. History of or current evidence of toxic megacolon, fulminant colitis (e.g., Lichtiger score of =10), colonic perforation
6. Any previous colonic surgery (except appendectomy) or short bowel syndrome
7. Patients who required doses of mesalamine higher than 2.4 g/day for maintenance.
8. Hypersensitivity to salicylates/aspirin
9. Use of the following medications:
a - Use of oral or rectal 5 aminosalicylic (5-ASA) within 11 days prior to randomization.
b - Use of systemic or rectal corticosteroid within 4 weeks prior to or during screening.
c - Use of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (anti TNF-a) agents or other biologics such as vedolizumab within 90 days prior to or during screening.
d - Use of immunosuppressants (e.g., azathioprine, mercaptopurine) within 6 weeks prior to or during screening.
e - Use of antibiotics for UC within 7 days prior to or during screening.
10. Clinically significantly abnormal ECG at screening
11. Liver cirrhosis or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels >2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
12. Serum creatinine >2X ULN
13. Known history of drug or alcohol abuse within the last 3 years prior to screening
14. Participation in another clinical trial involving an investigational agent within 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1). Patients cannot participate in any other investigational medication or medical device trial while participating in this study (participation in a registry or observational study without an additional therapeutic intervention is allowed)
15. Any unstable or uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, hematological, coagulation, immunological, endocrine/metabolic, or other medical disorder that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would confound the study results or compromise patient safety
16. Had any surgical procedure requiring general anesthesia within 30 days prior to screening or is planning to undergo major surgery during the study period
17. Any active malignancy within the last 5 years, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin, or if female, in situ cervical carcinoma that has been surgically excised
18. Patient has a history of hepatitis B or C (HVB or HVC) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HVB-HVC positive is defined as positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb; also referred to as anti-HBc), and/or hepatitis C antibody (HCVAb) with confirmation by hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA).
