Inclusion criteria:
- Participants must be 18 years of age or older and > 40 kilograms (kg) at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Participants who have a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, established at least 3 months prior to screening, as documented by diagnostic sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, and biopsy.
- Complete 4-domain Mayo Score of 6 to 12, with disease extending >= 15 centimeters (cm) from the anal verge, with a centrally read endoscopic sub score of >=2 at screening endoscopy, and a rectal bleeding sub score >=1.
- A history of at least one of the following: inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to azathioprine or mercaptopurine (including thiopurine methyltransferase [TPMT] and nudix hydrolase 15 [NUDT15] genetic mutations precluding use), ciclosporin, tacrolimus or methotrexate; inadequate response to, loss of response to, intolerance to, or demonstrated dependence on oral corticosteroids; inadequate response to, loss of response to, or intolerance to at least one approved advanced therapy for UC including anti- tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapies (example given [e.g.] infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, or biosimilar), anti-integrin therapies, anti-interleukin (IL)-12/23 monoclonal antibodies or Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors.
- Surveillance colonoscopy (performed according to local standards) within 12 months of screening (or during screening, if required) for participants with: Pancolitis of >8 years duration; or participants with left-sided colitis of >12 years duration. For participants for whom this criterion does not apply, colorectal cancer surveillance should be undertaken according to local or national guidelines for participants with age >=50, or with other known risk factors for colorectal cancer.
- Both male and female participants are eligible to participate.
- A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP); A WOCBP who agrees to use a highly effective contraceptive method for at least 4 weeks prior to dosing, until the Follow-Up visit.
- Capable of giving signed informed consent.
Exclusion criteria:
- Participants with a current diagnosis of indeterminate colitis, inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified, Crohn’s disease, infectious colitis, or ischemic colitis.
- Participants with fulminant ulcerative colitis (as defined by 6 bloody stools daily and 1 or more of body temperature >=100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (or 38 degree Celsius) or heart rate >90 beats per minute), or toxic megacolon.
- Prior extensive colonic resection, subtotal or total colectomy, or proctocolectomy, or planned surgery for ulcerative colitis.
- Participants with any uncontrolled medical conditions, other than active ulcerative colitis, that in the opinion of the investigator put the participant at unacceptable risk or interfere with study assessments or integrity of the data. Other medical conditions should be stable at the time of screening and be expected to remain stable for the duration of the study.
- Unstable lifestyle factors, such as alcohol use to excess or recreational drug use, to the extent that in the opinion of the investigator they would interfere with the ability of a participant to complete the study.
- An active infection or a history of serious infections as follows: a) Use of antimicrobials (antibacterials, antivirals, antifungals or antiparasitic agents) for an infection within 30 days before first dose (topical treatments may be allowed at the Medical Monitor’s discretion). b) A history of opportunistic infections within 1 year of screening (e.g. Pneumocystis jirovecii, aspergillosis or Cytomegalovirus colitis). This does not include infections that may occur in immunocompetent individuals, such as fungal nail infections or vaginal candidiasis, unless it is of an unusual severity or recurrent nature. c) Recurrent or chronic infection or other active infection that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might cause this study to be detrimental to the participant. d) Symptomatic herpes zoster within 3 months prior to screening. e) History of tuberculosis (active or latent), irrespective of treatment status. f) A positive diagnostic tuberculosis test at screening (defined as a positive QuantiFERON test). In cases where the QuantiFERON test is indeterminate, the participant may have the test repeated once and if their second test is negative they will be eligible. In the event a second test is also indeterminate, the investigator has the option to undertake Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) testing. If the PPD reaction is less than (<) 5 millimeter (mm), then the participant is eligible. If the reaction is >= 5mm, or PPD testing is not undertaken, the participant is not eligible. g) Positive Clostridium difficile toxin test during screening. However, rescreening can be undertaken following successful treatment.

- Other clinically significant abnormalities of laboratory assessments, as judged by the investigator and/or GlaxoSmithKline Medical Monitor that could affect the safety of the participant, or the interpretation of the data from the study.
- Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), or positive hepatitis C antibody result at screening (Nota bene [NB]-Participants with Hepatitis C antibody due to prior resolved disease can be enrolled only if a confirmatory negative Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid [RNA] test is obtained).
- Positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at screening.
