Class Action Looms Over uniQure: Lawsuit Alleges Misleading Statements in Huntington’s Drug Program—Key April 2026 Deadline
Securities Class Action Targets uniQure’s Disclosures on Huntington’s Drug AMT-130
uniQure N.V. (NASDAQ:QURE), a biotech company focused on gene therapies for rare diseases, is under scrutiny after a securities class action lawsuit was filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP. The suit alleges that between September 24, 2025, and October 31, 2025, uniQure made materially false or misleading statements about its pivotal clinical trial for AMT-130, a gene therapy for Huntington’s disease, and its progress towards seeking FDA approval.
Allegations Focus on Clinical Trial Design and FDA Communication
According to the complaint, uniQure is accused of overstating the rigor and acceptance of its clinical trial design—specifically, the reliance on external historical data for its pivotal study and the prospects for a timely FDA Biologics License Application (BLA) submission. The allegations state that:
- The FDA had not fully approved the comparison methodology between the AMT-130 trial and the external data set.
- uniQure downplayed the likelihood of further studies being needed, implying an accelerated pathway was likely.
- Forward-looking statements about the company’s drug development timeline and regulatory outlook lacked a reasonable basis.
Investor Disclosure Spurs Massive Stock Drop
The market’s reaction was swift when, on November 3, 2025, uniQure acknowledged that "the FDA currently no longer agrees that the data from the Phase I/II studies of AMT-130... may be adequate to provide the primary evidence" for a BLA submission. This admission cast doubt on the path to accelerated approval and left the timing of a potential application unclear. As a result, shares plunged more than 49%, falling by $33.40 per share in a single session, as investors digested the new uncertainty and regulatory hurdles.
