It's an S1-P receptor modulator, in the same class as Zeposia (ozanimod).

They prevent certain leukocytes from leaving lymph nodes and entering blood circulation, thus preventing them from ever getting to the GI tract.

I looked it up, it was approved for UC October 2023, still new, I like to wait & see how others do with a new medication.
