Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP Files Class Action Suit Against uniQure N.V.
On March 19, 2026, Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP announced the filing of a securities fraud class action lawsuit against
uniQure N.V., a biotechnology company known for its endeavors in developing gene therapies. The legal action targets investors who purchased uniQure shares between
September 24, 2025, and
October 31, 2025, a period characterized by purported misleading communications concerning the company's flagship gene therapy for Huntington's disease (HD).
Overview of the Allegations
Filed in the
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and titled
Scocco v. uniQure N.V., the lawsuit highlights several claims made by the firm regarding uniQure's
AMT-130, which is under development for treating Huntington’s disease. The essence of the complaint asserts that uniQure provided materially false or misleading information about its clinical trials and the implications for its Biologics License Application (BLA) with the FDA.
Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check claims that during the specified class period, uniQure failed to disclose essential facts and made inflated statements about the success of its pivotal study and the regulatory approval timeline for AMT-130. It was alleged that:
1. The study's design was not entirely sanctioned by the FDA, calling into question the validity of its results.
2. Even with alleged positive outcomes, they would face delays in the BLA submission due to additional studies being necessary, which contradicted prior assurances given to investors.
3. The optimistic projections about the market readiness significantly lacked a grounding in reality, misleading investors about the company's true operational status and potential.
Impact on Investors
The fallout from these revelations was stark. On
November 3, 2025, uniQure disclosed that the FDA had expressed reservations about the adequacy of the data provided for the BLA submission. This declaration precipitated a dramatic decline in the stock price, which plummeted by over
49%, dropping from
$67.69 to
$34.29 per share in a matter of days. This catastrophic loss left many investors seeking clarity and potential recourse for their financial damages.
Taking Action: What Affected Investors Can Do
For investors who acquired uniQure shares during the class period, there is a deadline of
April 13, 2026, to file a motion to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the class action. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check offers complimentary case evaluations to those potentially affected by this situation. Interested investors can reach out to
