The U.S. FDA has accepted uniQure's application for ifezuntirgene inilparvovec (AMT-130), an investigational gene therapy for Huntington disease, and granted it Priority Review. The FDA’s target decision date is May 1, 2027, although this is not a guarantee of a decision or approval. The therapy is not yet approved. UniQure and the FDA have also aligned on key elements of a confirmatory study that expects to enroll 200 participants for a minimum 3-year long study. International study sites are expected to be announced in the first half of 2027.

For Corinne Bees, finding a cure for Huntington disease (HD) is personal. Having seen HD affect her own family, she understands how much it can change lives and why supporting the HD community matters so much.

Every member of the HD community has their own story, and it is important for those stories to be heard. That’s why we are excited to introduce our new HSC Blog, sharing the experiences, perspectives, and voices of our community. 💙💜

We’re starting with Corinne, who shares why HD hits so close to home.
