What Oruka Therapeutics does

Oruka Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel monoclonal antibody therapeutics for psoriasis (PsO) and other inflammatory and immunology (I&I) indications. Its strategy is to apply antibody engineering and format innovations to validated modes of action, with the aim of improving on the efficacy and dosing regimens of standard-of-care medicines. Its lead program, ORKA-001, is a high affinity, extended half-life antibody designed to target IL-23p19 for PsO. A Phase 1 trial showed a human half-life of approximately 100 days, and the Phase 2a EVERLAST-A trial in moderate-to-severe PsO enrolled 84 patients, with Week 16 data expected in the second quarter of 2026. The Phase 2b EVERLAST-B trial, designed to enroll approximately 160 patients, began dosing in December 2025, with data anticipated in 2027. Its co-lead program, ORKA-002, targets IL-17A and IL-17F for PsO, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and other conditions. Interim Phase 1 findings in healthy volunteers showed a half-life of approximately 75-80 days, and the Phase 2 ORCA-SURGE trial in moderate-to-severe PsO was initiated in February 2026. The company is the former ARCA biopharma, Inc., which changed its name to Oruka Therapeutics on August 29, 2024.
