Argo Biopharma Showcases Phase II Data for BW-20805 at AAAAI 2026

Argo Biopharma Showcases Phase II Data for BW-20805 at AAAAI 2026

Argo Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has been selected for a late-breaking abstract at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place February 27–March 2, 2026.

The presentation will feature Phase II interim data for BW-20805, an investigational siRNA therapy for Hereditary Angioedema (HAE).

Why BW-20805 Matters in HAE?

HAE is a rare, potentially life-threatening genetic condition marked by sudden swelling attacks. Many current therapies require frequent dosing, creating a strong need for long-acting preventive options.

BW-20805 targets prekallikrein (PKK), a well-validated HAE pathway, using RNA interference to suppress PKK production at the genetic level.

The goal: durable prevention of HAE attacks with infrequent dosing.

Late-Breaking Phase II Results

The open-label Phase II study, titled

“Significant HAE Attack Reduction with BW-20805, a Long-Acting Prophylactic Injection” (Poster ID: L42), delivered compelling interim data.

Key efficacy highlights

  • 100% reduction in time-normalized HAE attack rate
    – 600 mg Q24W group
  • 89% reduction
    – 300 mg Q24W group
  • 87% reduction
    – 300 mg Q12W group
  • 80% of patients (8/10) remained completely attack-free

Deep and Sustained PKK Suppression

BW-20805 demonstrated rapid and durable pharmacodynamic effects.

  • 92% mean PKK reduction by Day 85 in pooled 300 mg groups
  • ~97% PKK reduction in the 600 mg Q24W group
  • Sustained suppression through Day 169, reaching 97–98% in long-term follow-up

These data support evaluation of a Q6M (every six months) dosing strategy.

Favorable Safety and Tolerability

BW-20805 was generally well tolerated across all dose levels.

  • Mostly mild, transient injection-site reactions
  • No serious adverse events reported

This safety profile strengthens its case as a long-acting prophylactic therapy.

Company Perspective

According to Dr. Dongxu Shu, Co-founder and CEO of Argo Biopharma, the late-breaking selection reflects the strength of the clinical data and supports further development of a potentially best-in-class prophylactic regimen for HAE patients.
