Item 8.01.             Other Events

 

On July 10 - 11, 2017, uniQure N.V. (the “Company”) presented data related to its hemophilia B research programs at the 26th Biennial Congress of International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) in Berlin, Germany.  On July 10, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing updated results from its ongoing, dose-ranging Phase I/II trial of AMT-060, the Company’s proprietary, investigational gene therapy in patients with severe hemophilia B which were presented at the ISTH Congress. On July 11, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the presentation of new clinical data at the ISTH Congress demonstrating that the presence of pre-existing anti-AAV5 neutralizing anitbodies (NABs) does not predict the potential efficacy of AAV5-mediated gene transfer in patients with hemophilia B.

 

Copies of both press releases are filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
