UniQure's Huntington's gene therapy shows dose-dependent efficacy; BLA path ahead

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Immediate reaction reflects concerns over non-significant 48-month cUHDRS signal, offset by regulatory optimism from the BLA pathway; mixed signals create near-term volatility.
AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
UniQure released 36-month data showing dose-dependent slowing (80% cUHDRS, 67% TFC) and a 6% neurofilament decline. Four-year results were mixed: 48-month TFC slowed 61%, cUHDRS 44% but not statistically significant. FDA confirmed 36-month data from 12 high-dose patients can anchor a BLA under accelerated approval.
Post-hoc analysis with earlier controls shows significant slowing.
Safety: generally manageable; one unrelated suicide case.
