Summary

This study tested an experimental oral treatment called VE202 for people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease. The treatment uses live bacteria to help restore gut balance. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. Participants took VE202 or a placebo for 2 or 8 weeks, and researchers looked at safety and whether the treatment improved colon inflammation.
