2. Modified Mayo endoscopic subscore of = 2 based on a full colonoscopy within 14 days prior to randomization.
6. Participant had an inadequate response or intolerance to intervention with conventional treatment or prior biological treatment or demonstrated CS dependence for the treatment of UC. For participants who have previously used biological treatment, a participant may have failed up to 3 biologics that include up to 2 different mechanisms of action.
