3. Have active UC confirmed on endoscopy with = 15 cm involvement
4. Have active UC defined as Mayo score of 6-12 inclusive with endoscopic subscore of = 2
5. Have undergone colonoscopy within the past 2 years for extent of disease, and if the UC has been present for > 10 years, have had a colonoscopy with biopsy to rule out dysplasia
6. Men and women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate birth control measures during the study. Acceptable methods of birth control in this study include: surgical sterilization, intrauterine device, oral contraceptive, contraceptive patch, long acting injectable contraceptive, partner’s vasectomy, double-barrier method (condom or diaphragm with spermicide) or abstinence during study participation and for 30 days after their last dose of treatment of study treatment
7. Must be currently receiving treatment with at least 1 of the following therapies:
a. Oral aminosalicylates (e.g., mesalamine, sulfasalazine, olsalazine, balsalazide) for at least 6 weeks with the dose stable for at least 3 weeks prior to screening endoscopy
b. Prednisone (doses = 20 mg) or equivalent for at least 4 weeks and receiving a stable dose for at least 2 weeks
8. If oral aminosalicylates or corticosteroids have been recently discontinued, they must have been stopped for at least 2 weeks prior to the sigmoidoscopy used for baseline Mayo Score
9. All patients aged 45 years or over must have had a colonoscopy to screen for adenomatous polyps within 5 years of their first dose of study treatment or must have had a colonoscopy at screening to assess for polyps. The adenomatous polyps must be removed prior to their first dose of study drug.
10. Ability to provide written informed consent and to be compliant with the schedule of protocol assessments
11. Documentation of positive varicella zoster virus (VZV) IgG antibody status
12. Documentation of no evidence of chronic lung disease or tuberculosis (TB) on a chest X-ray completed within the 6 months prior to screening

5. Pregnancy, lactation, or a positive serum beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) measured during screening
6. Clinically relevant hepatic, neurological, pulmonary, ophthalmological, endocrine, psychiatric or other major systemic disease making implementation or interpretation of the study difficult or that would put the patient at risk
7. Clinically relevant cardiovascular conditions, including history or presence of ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, stroke, transient ischemic attack, sick sinus syndrome, recurrent syncope, second degree or higher atrioventricular (AV) block, prolonged QTcF interval (QT interval corrected for HR according to Fridericia's formula) (QTcF > 450 msec males, > 470 msec females), other clinically significant conduction abnormalities or any other significant cardiac condition that could jeopardize a patient’s health during the study in the opinion of the treating Investigator
8. Resting HR less than 55 beats per minute (bpm)
9. History of diabetes mellitus
10. History of uveitis
11. Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial infection or other infection (including TB or atypical mycobacterial disease [excluding fungal infection of nail beds]) or any major episode of infection that required hospitalization/treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 30 days or oral antibiotics within 14 days prior to screening
12. History or known presence of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., hepatitis A, B, C or E, human immunodeficiency virus, syphilis, TB); recurring urinary tract infections are allowed
