Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by diffused inflammation of the colon and rectum mucosa, however, the exact underlying mechanisms of UC remain poorly understood.UC is strongly dependent on cellular immune reaction and exaggerated inflammatory response due to genetic, immune and environmental factors.
