  • uniQure Shares Surge 78% on FDA Support for AMT-130 Accelerated Approval
    June 19, 2026, 3:49 PM EDT. uniQure's stock jumped 78.4% after the FDA indicated that three-year phase I/II data for AMT-130, a gene therapy for Huntington's disease, could support a biologics license application (BLA) for accelerated approval. The FDA requested alignment on a confirmatory study design, favoring a control group over sham surgery, with plans expected before a 2026 Q3 BLA filing. This update follows earlier regulatory setbacks when the FDA questioned the sufficiency of phase I/II data compared to external controls. AMT-130 uses gene-silencing microRNA to target the huntingtin gene. The therapy is evaluated in ongoing phase I/II trials assessing safety and efficacy. uniQure aims to begin confirmatory studies promptly under FDA collaboration.
