1. Male and female subjects aged >18 years.
2. Subjects with a mild to moderate diagnosis of UC involving at least the rectum and sigmoid colon determined by colonoscopy with biopsies along with appropriate stool assays to evaluate the extent and histologic severity of colitis and to exclude Clostridium difficile, Hemorrhagic E. Coli 0157:H7, Salmonella, Shigella, Crohn's colitis, ischemic colitis, NSAID-induced colitis, or radiation colitis.
3. Subjects clinical severity must be restricted to either mild or moderate clinical disease defined as:
- Mild clinical disease — Subjects with mild clinical disease often present insidiously with intermittent rectal bleeding associated with the passage of mucus, and mild diarrhoea with fewer than 4 small loose stools per day. Mild crampy pain, tenesmus, and periods of constipation are also common, but severe abdominal pain, profuse bleeding, fever, and weight loss are not part of the spectrum of mild disease.
- Moderate clinical disease — Subjects with moderate clinical disease have frequent loose, bloody stools (up to 8 per day), mild anaemia not requiring blood transfusions, abdominal pain that is not severe, and low grade fever. Adequate nutrition is usually maintained.
4. Subjects must have disease extent (UC involving at least the rectum and sigmoid colon, i.e. ulcerative proctosigmoiditis, left-sided ulcerative colitis or pancolitis) and severity assessed by use of the Disease Activity Index (DAI [or Mayo UC scores] of 3 to 6, inclusive, as defined in the protocol) documented and confirmed by diagnostic endoscopy (see protocol Appendix A) within 1 week of Day 0.
5. Subjects must have a disease duration of at least 3 months prior to commencing study treatment (i.e. Day 0).
6. Subjects must agree not to change the dosing regimen of any current inflammatory bowel disease medications (e.g. low dose steroids, 5-ASA compounds, or immunomodulatory agents) throughout the 4-week treatment period of the study.
7. Subjects must agree to refrain from intake of St. Johns Wort or any other prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal preparation that is known to affect cytochrome P450 throughout the 4-week treatment period of the study.
8. Subjects must agree to refrain from intake of grapefruit or grapefruit juice or any other food or drink that is known to affect cytochrome P450 throughout the 4-week treatment period of the study.
9. Subjects must sign a written informed consent.
