OKYO Pharma Limited is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in the United Kingdom, dedicated to the development of innovative therapeutics for patients afflicted with inflammatory eye diseases and ocular pain. The company, founded in 2007 and headquartered in London, has taken significant strides in the biopharmaceutical field, particularly focusing on conditions that affect eye health. With a strong commitment to addressing unmet medical needs, OKYO Pharma is at the forefront of researching and developing advanced treatments that promise to alleviate suffering and improve the quality of life for patients facing eye-related afflictions.
This lead preclinical product candidate is currently in Phase II clinical trials and represents OKYO Pharma’s pioneering approach to treating dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is a prevalent condition that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, causing discomfort, and in severe cases, impairing vision. OK-101 is being developed with the aim of providing a novel, effective treatment option for patients who suffer from this condition, potentially improving their symptoms and overall eye health.
Another innovative venture by OKYO Pharma, OK-201 is a preclinical analogue candidate derived from bovine adrenal medulla. This lipidated-peptide is being developed for the treatment of neuropathic chronic pain, a condition that remains challenging to manage with current treatment options. By focusing on novel pathways and mechanisms, OKYO Pharma aims to contribute an important solution to the field of pain management, particularly for patients whose quality of life is severely affected by chronic pain conditions.
