Rhea-AI Filing Summary

uniQure reported a regulatory setback for AMT-130, its investigational gene therapy for Huntington’s disease. Following a pre-BLA meeting, the company believes the FDA currently no longer agrees that data from its Phase I/II studies, analyzed against an external control per prespecified protocols and statistical plans, may be adequate as primary evidence for a BLA.

As a result, the timing of the BLA submission for AMT-130 is now unclear. The update was announced on November 3, 2025 via a press release furnished as an exhibit. The disclosure highlights risks common to early-stage gene therapies, including evolving regulatory views on endpoints and comparators, and the potential need for additional clinical evidence.

Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • FDA feedback: Company believes FDA currently no longer agrees Phase I/II external-control data may be adequate as primary evidence for a BLA.
  • BLA timing: Company states the timing of the AMT-130 BLA submission is now unclear.

Insights

FDA feedback clouds AMT-130’s BLA path; submission timing unclear.

uniQure states that, based on its pre-BLA meeting, the FDA currently no longer agrees that Phase I/II data for AMT-130 versus an external control could serve as primary evidence for a BLA. This challenges the previously contemplated pathway relying on external controls and may require additional evidence generation.

The company explicitly notes that BLA timing is unclear. That uncertainty can extend development timelines and affect resource planning. The update was announced on November 3, 2025, and future steps depend on follow-up with regulators and any further clinical data the company develops.

Key elements to watch include the final FDA meeting minutes and any disclosed plans for further studies or analyses that address evidence sufficiency for a potential BLA.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 3, 2025, uniQure N.V. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing a regulatory update on AMT-130, an investigational gene therapy for Huntington’s disease, following the Company’s pre-Biologics License Application (“BLA”) meeting with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information provided in this Item 7.01, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall be deemed “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except to the extent that such filing incorporates by reference any or all of such information by express reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On November 3, 2025, the Company announced that, although final meeting minutes have not yet been received, based on the discussions at the pre-BLA meeting, the Company believes that the FDA currently no longer agrees that data from the Phase I/II studies of AMT-130 in comparison to an external control, as per the prespecified protocols and statistical analysis plans shared with the FDA in advance of the analyses, may be adequate to provide the primary evidence in support of a BLA submission. Consequently, the timing of the BLA submission for AMT-130 is now unclear.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, which are often indicated by terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," “establish,” "estimate," "expect," "goal," "intend," "look forward to", "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," “seek,” "should," "will," "would" and similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information available to management only as of the date of this report. Examples of these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning: the timing of the Company’s BLA submission for AMT-130 and the Company’s belief that the FDA currently no longer agrees that data from the ongoing Phase I/II studies of AMT-130 in comparison to an external control may be adequate to provide the primary evidence in support of a BLA submission. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: risks related to the Company’s Phase I/ll clinical trials of AMT-130, including the risk that such trials will be unable to demonstrate data sufficient to support further clinical development or regulatory approval; the risk that more patient data become available that results in a different interpretation than the one derived from the topline data; risks related to the Company’s interactions with regulatory authorities, which may affect the initiation, timing and progress of clinical trials and pathways to regulatory approval; whether the measurements that the Company is evaluating continue to be viewed as robust and sensitive measurements of disease progression; whether Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation, or any accelerated pathway, if granted, will lead to regulatory approval; the Company’s ability to conduct and fund a Phase III or confirmatory study for AMT-130; the Company’s ability to continue to build and maintain the infrastructure and personnel needed to achieve its goals; the Company’s effectiveness in managing current and future clinical trials and regulatory processes; the Company’s ability to demonstrate the therapeutic benefits of its gene therapy candidates in clinical trials; the continued development and acceptance of gene therapies; the Company’s ability to obtain, maintain and protect its intellectual property; and the Company’s ability to fund its operations and to raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. These risks and uncertainties are more fully described under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company’s periodic filings with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2025 and July 29, 2025, and in other filings that the Company makes with the SEC from time to time. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
