UniQure announced plans to submit its gene therapy for Huntington's disease to the FDA for approval in Q3, following a recent FDA meeting that supported accelerated approval based on a three-year Phase 1/2 study. This marks a reversal from earlier FDA criticism under former Commissioner Marty Makary, who had questioned the trial data and demanded a placebo-controlled study. UniQure's therapy, which slows disease progression by 75%, was previously challenged due to ethical concerns about sham brain surgery controls. The FDA now agrees to an accelerated approval pathway with a commitment from UniQure to conduct a follow-up study comparing the therapy to standard care. Shares surged 70% on the news, highlighting renewed investor confidence.
