Four-Year Data Dims Hope for Huntington's Drug

UniQure NV's gene therapy candidate for Huntington's disease, AMT-130, has encountered a significant hurdle. Recent four-year trial data revealed that the observed benefits of the drug have diminished, presenting a less optimistic outlook compared to earlier three-year results.
