Description: ORKA Oruka Therapeutics December 24, 2025

Oruka Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORKA) is a clinical-stage biotech headquartered in Menlo Park, CA, developing monoclonal antibodies for psoriasis and broader inflammatory-immunology indications. Its pipeline includes ORKA-001 (IL-23 p19 inhibitor) in a Phase 1 trial, ORKA-002 (dual IL-17A/F blocker) targeting psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and other diseases, ORKA-003 (undisclosed target), and ORKA-021, a planned sequential combination of ORKA-001 and ORKA-002.

Key sector context: the global psoriasis biologics market was ≈ $13 bn in 2023 and is projected to grow ~6 % CAGR, driven by expanding patient access and premium pricing. Oruka’s focus on IL-23 and IL-17 pathways aligns with the two largest therapeutic classes in this market, but it faces entrenched competitors such as AbbVie (Skyrizi) and Eli Lilly (Taltz), which together hold > 30 % market share.

Financial snapshot (as of the latest 10-Q): cash and cash equivalents ≈ $55 m, with a monthly burn rate of roughly $5 m, giving a runway of ~11 months absent additional financing. The company’s R&D spend has risen 42 % YoY, reflecting the initiation of Phase 1 studies for ORKA-001 and pre-clinical work on ORKA-003.
