Induction Therapy with PRA023 in Ulcerative Colitis

What is the Purpose of this Study?

This study focuses on individuals with ulcerative colitis (UC) that has been assessed as being moderate to severe. The purpose of the study is to determine whether an investigational drug called PRA023 is safe and effective in treating UC.

Participants will be randomly assigned to received either PRA023 or placebo (inactive substance).
