FDA demands new trial for uniQure’s Huntington’s gene therapy due to insufficient data.
The FDA has told uniQure that early data for its AMT-130 gene therapy for Huntington’s disease are insufficient for approval, requiring a new randomized, placebo-controlled trial with sham surgery for the control group.
The agency cited concerns over data robustness and the need for stronger evidence on safety and efficacy, despite the therapy’s potential.
The decision, which caused a sharp drop in the company’s stock, highlights the tension between regulatory rigor and urgent patient needs for rare, fatal diseases.
While patient advocates push for accelerated pathways, the FDA has not signaled a change in its stance, maintaining its commitment to rigorous scientific standards.
