Evoke Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVOK) is a specialty pharmaceutical company headquartered at 505 Lomas Santa Fe Dr, Solana Beach, California, USA. The company is dedicated to developing and commercializing treatments for gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and diseases. Evoke Pharma's flagship product is Gimoti, an innovative nasal spray formulation of metoclopramide designed to treat symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) in women.
