Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who completed the preceding ORKA-001 trial and meet baseline health and contraception requirements are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Participants who experienced serious adverse events with ORKA-001 in the prior trial, who developed guttate, erythrodermic, pustular, or drug-induced psoriasis, or who have significant comorbid conditions may not receive benefit or may be excluded from continued treatment.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This open-label extension follows adults who completed a prior ORKA-001 study to gather longer-term data on safety and skin response. Participants may receive ORKA-001 for up to approximately 96 weeks of treatment, followed by about 48 weeks of post-treatment follow-up after the last study visit. Regular clinic visits will include safety labs, adverse event monitoring, and assessments of psoriasis symptoms and skin clearance. Enrollment is limited to those who successfully completed the preceding trial and meet baseline health and contraception requirements.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could show whether ORKA-001 provides sustained skin improvement with an acceptable long-term safety profile for people with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

How similar studies have gone: Open-label extension programs for other psoriasis biologics have often shown maintained efficacy and tolerability over time, but ORKA-001's long-term results are not yet established.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent by participants from previous trial choosing to transition into the OLE.

4. For women of childbearing potential and fertile male participants with a partner of childbearing potential must be willing to continue to use highly effective contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Participants who experienced any adverse events with ORKA-001 in the preceding trial that led to permanent investigational medicinal product discontinuation or, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude continued treatment with ORKA-001
2. Participants who have developed guttate, erythrodermic or pustular psoriasis or drug-induced psoriasis (as diagnosed by the Investigator), during the preceding trial.
3. Evidence of current or previous clinically significant disease, medical condition other than psoriasis, or finding during the medical examination that, in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data.
