AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, June 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- uniQure N.V. (Nasdaq:QURE), a leader in human gene therapy, today announced the full analysis of the six-year follow-up data for patients treated once with Glybera® (alipogene tiparvovec), uniQure’s gene therapy product for the treatment of lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD). Dr. Daniel Gaudet, the leading investigator during the majority of the clinical studies performed with Glybera, presented the results at the 82nd Annual Congress of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) held in Madrid, Spain. Glybera is approved in the EU as a treatment for LPLD, a potentially life-threatening, orphan metabolic disease that results in patients’ inability to process fat in the blood after a meal. LPLD patients eligible for Glybera treatment suffer from reoccurring and often severe pancreatitis events leading to recurrent admissions to hospitals and intensive care units (ICUs).
