The US FDA has accepted uniQure's gene therapy for Huntington's disease, ifezuntirgene inilparvovec (AMT-130), for Priority Review with a PDUFA target date of May 1, 2027, under the Accelerated Approval pathway. This therapy could become the first disease-modifying treatment for Huntington's disease, based on data showing slower functional decline in treated patients, pending a confirmatory trial aligned with the FDA's requirements.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 3 sources have reported it between 2 Nov 2026 and 3 Nov 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to prepare for a new market opening in Huntington's treatments as gene therapy could be the first to modify disease progression. Start planning your regulatory and clinical strategies around accelerated approvals and confirmatory trial demands.
