Its lead program, ORKA-001, is designed to target the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23p19) for the treatment of PsO. The company's co-lead program, ORKA-002, is designed to target interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F (IL-17A/F) for the treatment of PsO, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and other conditions. These programs each bind their respective targets at high affinity and incorporate half-life extension technology to increase exposure and decreasing dosing frequency.
