MD&A
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-13
We initiated a Phase 1 trial of ORKA-001 in the fourth quarter of 2024. In September 2025, we announced interim results and updated those results in April 2026. The data showed that ORKA-001 has a human half-life of approximately 100 days and was well tolerated at all dose levels, with a favorable s…
In the third quarter of 2025, we commenced dosing in a Phase 2a clinical trial of ORKA-001 in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO (also known as “EVERLAST-A”). EVERLAST-A enrolled 84 patients randomized 3:1 to receive 600 mg of ORKA-001 at Weeks 0 and 4 or matching placebo. At Week 28, patients who…
Additionally, the first patients were dosed in EVERLAST-B in December 2025. EVERLAST-B is designed to enroll approximately 160 patients into a dose-ranging Phase 2b trial of ORKA-001 in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO and will evaluate three dose levels of ORKA-001: 37.5 mg at Week 0, 300 mg at…
In January 2026, we announced interim findings from the Phase 1 trial of ORKA-002 in healthy volunteers. The results showed that ORKA-002 has a half-life of approximately 75-80 days, which supports the potential for twice-yearly maintenance dosing in PsO and quarterly maintenance dosing in HS. Singl…
Based on these Phase 1 results, we initiated ORCA-SURGE, a Phase 2 trial of ORKA-002 in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO, in February 2026. ORCA-SURGE is designed to enroll approximately 160 patients randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive 40 mg, 160 mg or 320 mg of ORKA-002 at Weeks 0 and 4, or matching …

We initiated a Phase 1 trial of ORKA-001 in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in September 2025, we announced the interim results at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress. ORKA-001 showed a half-life of approximately 100 days. Single doses of ORKA-001 demonstrated complete…
In the third quarter of 2025, we commenced dosing in a Phase 2a clinical trial of ORKA-001 in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO (also known as “EVERLAST-A”). We expect to share efficacy and response duration data from this study in the second half of 2026. EVERLAST-A is expected to enroll approxi…
Additionally, in the third quarter of 2025, we announced our plans to initiate a dose-ranging Phase 2b trial of ORKA-001 in moderate-to-severe PsO patients (also known as “EVERLAST-B”) in the first half of 2026. EVERLAST-B will evaluate three dose levels of ORKA-001: 37.5 mg at Week 0, 300 mg at Wee…
We view ORKA-002 and ORKA-001 as highly complementary. Patients with moderate-to-severe PsO that have purely skin manifestations are most often treated with IL-23 inhibitors due to the high efficacy and tolerability of this mechanism. However, for patients who also have joint involvement, or signs a…
We have a third mAb program, ORKA-003, designed to target an undisclosed pathway. Our strategy as a company is to remain highly focused on I&I diseases, and specifically on inflammatory dermatology conditions. Our third program provides the potential for indication expansion beyond PsO and may creat…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
