A study with an 8 week open label phase study followed by a year long placebo controlled maintenance phase in subjects with active mild to moderate ulcerative colitis (UC), with a modified Mayo Score 4-10 and an endoscopy subscore of 2-3, taking mesalamine (or equivalent) as a concomitant medication.
