How Investors Are Reacting To Oruka Therapeutics (ORKA) Positive Psoriasis Trial Results

Simply Wall St · 2d ago
  • Oruka Therapeutics reported past positive Week 28 data from its EVERLAST-A Phase 2a trial, where ORKA-001 in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis showed high PASI 90 and PASI 100 response rates, maintained IGA 0/1 responses, and a safety profile consistent with the IL-23p19 class.
  • The trial design, with placebo patients crossing over to ORKA-001 and reaching similar PASI 100 rates at equivalent timepoints, gives investors extra insight into the drug’s performance consistency and potential treatment durability across different patient cohorts.
