Description: ORKA Oruka Therapeutics October 21, 2025

Oruka Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORKA) is a clinical-stage biopharma based in Menlo Park, California, dedicated to creating monoclonal antibody treatments for psoriasis and broader inflammatory-immunology (I&I) diseases.

The lead assets are ORKA-001, a p19-IL-23 subunit inhibitor currently in a Phase 1 trial for plaque psoriasis, and ORKA-002, a dual IL-17A/IL-17F blocker being evaluated for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and additional indications. The pipeline also includes ORKA-003 (targeting an undisclosed pathway) and ORKA-021, a sequential combination regimen of ORKA-002 followed by ORKA-001.

Key metrics as of the latest filing (Q2 2025): market capitalization ≈ $120 M, cash and equivalents of $45 M giving a runway of roughly 12-18 months at current burn (~$3 M / quarter). R&D spend has risen 38 % YoY, reflecting accelerated Phase 1/2 activity. The biotech sector’s valuation is being driven by strong demand for novel I&I therapies and a 7 % CAGR in global psoriasis drug spend, which could expand the addressable market for Oruka’s antibodies.
