uniQure (NASDAQ: QURE) has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for AMT-130, its gene therapy treatment for Huntington's disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder with no current disease-modifying therapies.

The designation is based on promising interim data from Phase I/II trials showing dose-dependent slowing of disease progression. The company presented 24-month data in July 2024, demonstrating meaningful disease progression slowdown based on cUHDRS scores compared to natural history.

AMT-130 has already received Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT), Orphan Drug, and Fast Track designations. The treatment has been administered to 45 patients to date, with additional regulatory guidance on the Biologics License Application expected in Q2 2025.

uniQure (NASDAQ: QURE) reported its 2024 financial results and company progress. Key highlights include FDA alignment on Accelerated Approval pathway for AMT-130 in Huntington's disease and completion of patient enrollment in its third cohort Phase I/II study. The company initiated dosing in Phase I/II studies for multiple programs including AMT-260 for epilepsy, AMT-191 for Fabry disease, and AMT-162 for SOD1-ALS.

Financial position shows cash and equivalents of $367.5 million as of December 31, 2024, plus $80.7 million from recent financing, expected to fund operations into second half of 2027. Revenue increased to $27.1 million in 2024 from $15.8 million in 2023. The company reported a net loss of $239.6 million ($4.92 per share) compared to $308.5 million ($6.47 per share) in 2023.

CSL Behring announced four-year results from the pivotal HOPE-B study of HEMGENIX, their gene therapy for hemophilia B. The data demonstrates sustained efficacy and safety through four years post-treatment. Key findings include:

- 94% of patients remained free of continuous factor IX prophylaxis
- Mean factor IX activity levels maintained at 37% through four years
- Approximately 90% reduction in mean adjusted annualized bleeding rate from lead-in to year four
- Joint bleeds reduced from 2.34 to 0.09 mean ABR

The Phase III HOPE-B trial involved 54 adult male participants with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B. No serious adverse events related to HEMGENIX were reported, with 96% of treatment-related adverse events occurring in the first six months. HEMGENIX, approved by FDA in 2022, is the first gene therapy for hemophilia B that can treat patients with and without AAV5 neutralizing antibodies.

uniQure (NASDAQ: QURE) has announced the completion of enrollment in the first cohort of its Phase I/IIa trial for AMT-191, a gene therapy treatment for Fabry disease. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviewed safety data from the initial two patients and found no significant safety concerns, recommending progression to the second cohort.

The company plans to begin enrollment for the second dose cohort in Q1 2025. AMT-191 is an AAV5-based gene therapy utilizing a proprietary promoter to deliver a galactosidase alpha (GLA) transgene targeting the liver to produce GLA protein. This one-time intravenous treatment aims to address Fabry disease, a condition where GLA gene variants cause α-galactosidase A enzyme deficiency, leading to lipid accumulation in multiple cell types and resulting in a multi-system disorder.

uniQure (NASDAQ: QURE) announced a favorable recommendation from the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for its Phase I/II EPISOD1 clinical trial of AMT-162, a gene therapy for SOD1-ALS. The IDMC reviewed 28-day safety data from the first study cohort and found no significant safety concerns, recommending progression to the second cohort.

AMT-162 is an AAVrh10-based gene therapy designed to reduce mutated SOD1 protein expression through miRNA. The therapy targets SOD1-ALS, where patients produce misfolded SOD1 protein that damages motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and eventual death. The treatment is administered intrathecally as a one-time dose, aiming to slow or stop SOD1-ALS progression. The company plans to begin enrollment for the second dose cohort in Q1 2025.

uniQure (Nasdaq: QURE) has announced the pricing of its public offering of 4,411,764 ordinary shares at $17.00 per share, expecting to raise approximately $75 million in gross proceeds before deducting underwriting costs and expenses. The company has also granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 661,764 additional shares at the same price.

The offering is expected to close around January 10, 2025. Leerink Partners, Stifel, and Guggenheim Securities are serving as bookrunning managers, while Chardan and H.C. Wainwright & Co. are acting as lead managers for the offering. The shares are being offered through an automatically effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on January 7, 2025.

uniQure (Nasdaq: QURE) has announced the launch of an underwritten public offering of ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase ordinary shares. The gene therapy company plans to grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of ordinary shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

Leerink Partners is serving as the bookrunning manager for the proposed offering. The securities will be offered through an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on January 7, 2025. The final terms of the offering will be disclosed in a final prospectus supplement to be filed with the SEC.

uniQure has reached an agreement with the FDA on key elements for an Accelerated Approval pathway for AMT-130, their Huntington's disease treatment. The FDA agreed that data from ongoing Phase I/II studies compared to natural history external control can serve as the primary basis for a Biologics License Application (BLA), eliminating the need for additional pre-submission studies.

The FDA accepted the composite Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (cUHDRS) as an intermediate clinical endpoint and acknowledged that reductions in neurofilament light chain (NfL) in cerebrospinal fluid may support evidence of therapeutic benefit. This follows the RMAT designation granted in May 2024 and promising interim data from July 2024 showing durable, dose-dependent slowing of disease progression.
