Patients who qualify are adults who have not responded to treatments for their severe ulcerative colitis. Participation in this study will take 12 weeks long and the study is structured as an open-label pilot study in which participants will take the study drug for 4 weeks in the form of an oral medication. Participation may also involve receiving an IV dose of the medication. The study will require participants to attend 8 study visits, all of which will be conducted at a study site. Participation will involve taking an oral medication twice daily, tracking the medication in a log, and getting blood drawn and giving a stool and urine sample for a few lab tests throughout the study. Participants may also undergo a flexible sigmoidoscopy at the beginning and end of the study.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe outpatient or hospitalized for an acute UC flare\n* Ability to give consent\n* Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of UC for \\> 3 months\n* History of ≥ 15 cm of colonic involvement as confirmed by colonoscopy\n* Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis are eligible to enroll\n* Patients will have failed 5 days of oral prednisone 30 mg or greater for 5 days and still having a SCCAI of \\> 6\n* Patients who are taking 20mg or less of oral prednisone and plan to stay at that dose during their participation in the study\n* Accepted medications:\n\n * Anti-TNF agents are permissible if the patient has been taking them for at least 10 weeks and anticipates to maintain a steady for the duration of the study.\n * Rinvoq (Upadacitinib) is permissible if the subject has been taking this medication for at least 4 weeks and anticipates to maintain a steady dose for the duration of the study.\n * Xeljanz (Tofacitinib) is permissible if the subject has been taking this medication for at least 4 weeks and anticipates to maintain a steady dose for the duration of the study.\n * Other biologics are permissible if the subject has been taking the medication for at least 10 weeks and anticipates to maintain a steady dose for the duration of the study\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* History of uncontrolled hypertension with systolic BP \\> 140 and systolic BP \\> 90\n* Chronic kidney disease as defined by GFR \\<55mL/min\n* Impaired hepatic function (transaminases elevated \\> 2.5 x ULN) unless due to PSC\n* Evidence of C. difficile (Negative test result within 1 month is acceptable)\n* Infectious Colitis or drug induced colitis\n* Crohn's Disease or Indeterminate colitis\n* Decompensated liver disease\n* Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding\n* Patients who have a confirmed malignancy or cancer within 5 years\n* Congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies\n* Other comorbidities including: Diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus\n* Participation in a therapeutic clinical trial in the preceding 30 days or simultaneously during this trial\n* Patients with a history or risk of cardiovascular conditions, including arrhythmia, long QT syndrome, congestive heart failure, stroke, or coronary artery disease\n* Prohibited medications:\n\n * Rinvoq (Upadacitinib): Subjects will be excluded from this study if their last dose of this medication was administered within 4 weeks.
