Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)* that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in the lining of the colon (large intestine). The disease typically begins in the rectum and lower colon but can progress to involve the entire colon.
Those living with ulcerative colitis (UC) may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea with blood or pus (mucus), and rectal bleeding and pain. It's important to see your doctor if you notice persistent changes in your bowel habits or any of these signs and symptoms.
*IBD refers to a group of conditions that cause chronic inflammation in your digestive tract. The severity of IBD varies widely.
We’re offering a clinical research opportunity to help manage your ulcerative colitis (UC) flare-ups.
You may be able to contribute if:
Treat-straight-through: You receive a continuous study drug throughout the study for up to 52 weeks.
Induction-only: The study focuses on the initial study treatment phase, usually around 10 weeks, to see how quickly your symptoms improve.
When it comes to ulcerative colitis (UC), your experiences can help improve future health outcomes. With your participation in clinical research, we can have potential therapies for UC and other inflammatory diseases that may work better and be safer for us, our children, and our grandchildren.

While there's no cure for UC except for surgical removal of the colon, various medications and therapies can effectively manage the disease and help individuals achieve and maintain remission. Early diagnosis and ongoing medical care are crucial for minimizing symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life for those living with the disease.
