          8. Must have failed or experienced intolerance to at least one of the following:

             aminosalicylates, budesonide, systemic corticosteroids, immunosuppressants (ie, 6

          9. Subjects receiving oral aminosalicylates may continue their use during the study,
             provided that dose has been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to screening. The dose
             of oral aminosalicylates must remain stable through the duration of the study or early

             recently discontinued, discontinuation must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior
             to screening. Corticosteroid doses should remain stable until the subject is eligible
             to start corticosteroids tapering.
