Etrasimod is a medicine known as a “sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator”. The S1P receptor plays an important role in the body’s immune response. By changing how the S1P receptor acts, etrasimod stops white blood cells (that cause inflammation) from leaving the lymph nodes. For people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), this leads to less inflammation in the lining
of the bowel, allowing it to heal.
