This is a multicenter, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ABX464 given at 25 or 50 mg QD in inducing clinical remission in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who have inadequate response, no response, a loss of response, or an intolerance to either conventional therapies [corticosteroids, immunosuppressant (i.e. azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate)] and/or advanced therapies [biologics (TNF inhibitors, anti-integrins, anti-IL-23), and/or S1P receptor modulators, and/or JAK inhibitors].

Fungal infection of nail beds is allowed. - Positive assay or stool culture for pathogens (ova and parasite examination, bacteria) or positive test for Clostridium difficile toxin at screening. If C. difficile is positive, subject may be treated and retested ≥ 2 weeks after completing treatment. - Subjects with HIV infection. - Subjects having acute or chronic hepatitis B infection at screening (positive for hepatitis B surface antigen [HbsAg], or negative for HbsAg and positive for anti-hepatitis B core antibody in conjunction with detectable HBV DNA, or detectable HBV DNA). - Subjects having acute or chronic hepatitis C infection at screening as defined by positive for hepatitis C antibody (subjects successfully treated and without recurrence ≥ 1 year with no detectable HCV RNA [assessed centrally] are eligible). - Active tuberculosis (TB) or untreated latent TB are ruled out. For subjects with positive or intermediate QuantiFERON test see study protocol. - Subjects with an uncontrolled ischemic heart disease and/or a history of congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4 symptoms. - Subjects with a family or personal history of congenital or acquired long QT syndrome, or subjects with a marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval [Fridericia or Bazett correction] >450 milliseconds for male and > 460 milliseconds for female). - Subjects with a history of torsade de pointe (TdP). - Acute or chronic of clinically relevant pulmonary, hepatic, pancreatic or renal functional abnormality, encephalopathy, neuropathy or unstable central nervous system pathology such as seizure disorder, or any other clinically significant medical problems as determined by physical examination and/or laboratory screening tests and/or medical history (note: treated autoimmune hypothyroidy and autoimmune diabetes are allowed). - Serious illness requiring hospitalization within 4 weeks prior to screening (except UC flare). - Subjects previously treated with ABX464. - Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. - WOCBP subject who is pregnant or breast-feeding at screening, or intends to become pregnant during the study, or male subject with WOCBP partner who intends to be pregnant during the study. - Illicit drug or alcohol abuse or dependence. - Subjects who received live vaccine within 3 months prior to screening and/or who's planning to receive such a vaccine during the study duration. - Use of any investigational or non-registered product within 3 months or within 5 half-lives preceding baseline, whichever is longer, and during the study. - Subjects committed to an institution by virtue of an order issued either by the judicial or the administrative authorities. - Any condition, which in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or adherence to the study protocol.
