and New York, NY, August 23, 2024 - OKYO Pharma Limited (NASDAQ: OKYO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing

innovative ocular therapies for the treatment of inflammatory dry eye disease (DED), a multi-billion-dollar market, and anterior ocular

segment diseases including neuropathic corneal pain (NCP), an ocular condition associated with pain but without an FDA approved therapy,

an exclusive interview, Gary S. Jacob, PhD, CEO of OKYO Pharma, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money show on Bloomberg

TV to provide a corporate update. OKYO is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for the treatment

of Dry Eye Disease (DED) and Neuropathic Corneal Pain (NCP), two areas with significant unmet medical needs. Leveraging a unique lipid-conjugated

chemerin peptide, OKYO's lead candidate, OK-101, is designed to address inflammation and pain more effectively than current treatments.

The recent Phase 2 trial for DED demonstrated notable improvements in both symptoms and signs within just 15 days, with a favorable safety

profile and no drug-related serious adverse events. Moreover, OK-101 also offers a significant opportunity to treat the ocular disease

called NCP, with no FDA approved drug to treat patients suffering from this acute, chronic, ocular condition. OKYO's robust patent

protection through at least 2039, plus an experienced management team, with proven success in clinical development thru FDA approval,

underscore its strong positioning for future growth in ophthalmology therapeutics.

is a lipid conjugated chemerin peptide agonist of the ChemR23 G-protein coupled receptor which is typically found on immune cells of

the eye responsible for the inflammatory response. OK-101 was developed using a membrane-anchored-peptide technology to produce a novel

long-acting drug candidate for treating dry eye disease. OK-101 has been shown to produce anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing efficacy

signals in mouse models of dry eye disease and corneal neuropathic pain (NCP), respectively, and is designed to combat washout through

the inclusion of the lipid anchor built into the drug molecule to enhance the residence time of OK-101 within the ocular environment.

OK-101 recently showed statistical significance in multiple endpoints in a recently completed Phase 2, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled

trial of OK-101 to treat DED.

Pharma Limited (NASDAQ: OKYO) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of DED

and NCP, with ordinary shares listed for trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market. OKYO is focused on the discovery and development of novel

molecules to treat inflammatory DED and ocular pain. In addition to the recently completed Phase 2 DED trial, OKYO also has plans underway

for the opening of a Phase 2 trial for OK-101 to treat NCP in patients with this debilitating condition. For further information, please
