Overview

Windward Bio was launched in January 2025 and is developing a portfolio of long-acting antibody therapeutics targeting validated immunological drivers. Its lead program, WIN378, is a next-generation, fully human anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody engineered for half-life extension and silenced effector function; WIN378 completed Phase 1, is dosed subcutaneously, and is being evaluated in the Phase 2/3 POLARIS asthma trial with initial data expected in the second half of 2026. A Phase 2 study of WIN378 in COPD is anticipated to start in Q2 2026 and the first Phase 3 study is expected to begin in Q4 2026. WIN027 is a long-acting bispecific (TSLPxIL-13) currently in Phase 1 with data expected by year-end 2026 and is planned for proof-of-concept studies across respiratory and dermatology indications beginning Q4 2026. The company has in-licensed global rights for its programs from partners including Kelun-Biotech/Harbour BioMed and Qyuns Therapeutics, and is building a discovery pipeline of long-acting bispecific antibodies. Windward has raised $365M since launch and intends to use the new financing to extend its runway and accelerate multiple clinical readouts and study starts.
