Disease limited to the rectum (i.e., within 15 cm of the anal verge)
Diagnosis of toxic megacolon
Suspected or known colon stricture or stenosis
Diagnosis of Crohn's disease, or indeterminant colitis

Currently on any chronic systemic (oral or IV) anti-infective therapy for chronic infection (such as pneumocystis, cytomegalovirus, herpes zoster, or atypical mycobacteria)
Currently receiving lymphocyte depleting therapy
History of abnormal pulmonary function tests
Participants with organ or tissue allograft
Malignancy within 5 years of screening, with the exception of adequately treated or excised non-metastatic basal cell or squamous cell cancer of the skin
Exposure to advanced therapy within 5 half-lives of the Day 1 visit, or documentation of detectable drug during screening
