It expects ORKA-001's PASI100 response rate to increase from about 63% at week 16 to 70% to 80% at week 28.UBS said initial one-year durability data should provide an early indication of ORKA-001's potential for six-month or annual dosing. The firm expects the update in late Q3 or Q4, giving the company more time to include one-year data from additional patients.The investment firm also said AbbVie's planned acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics (APGE) validates the underlying YTE platform used by ORKA-001 and eases concerns about the intellectual property landscape.UBS maintained its buy rating on Oruka and raised its price target to $130 from $100.Price: $94.44, Change: $-0.73, Percent Change: -0.77%
