Portfolio Holding uniQure N.V. Announces Filing Plans with U.S. Food & Drug Administration
The Company notes the announcement on Wednesday, 17 June 2026 that uniQure N.V ("uniQure"), during a recent Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the FDA communicated that the 3-year analysis from the Phase I/II study would be acceptable as the primary basis of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for the accelerated approval of AMT-130 in Huntington's disease (HD). This marks an important shift for the FDA, creating a pathway for a near-term regulatory filing that was otherwise not available under previous leadership of the FDA.
AMT-130 is an investigational treatment and is the first one-time administered gene therapy to enter clinical testing for the treatment of HD. AMT-130 has been granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation by the FDA - the first RMAT designation for HD - as well as Breakthrough Therapy designation and Fast Track designation.
The Company's holding in uniQure represented 1.10% of the Company's net asset value (NAV) at the time of the announcement. In response to this development, the share price appreciated 78.4% to U.S.$48.16 (compared to a cost base of U.S.$16.74 which reflects multiple purchases made in March 2026) and represented 1.93% of NAV as of the close on 17 June 2026.
