Van Herk Rejects #ProQR Leadership
Van Herk Investments B.V., which holds over 10% of #ProQR, issued a letter on May 23, 2025, opposing the reappointments of CEO Daniel de Boer and Chairman James Shannon due to persistent underperformance, strategic missteps, and governance lapses.

Well.. if Van Herk is sufficiently pissed, he can call an EGM to remove both of them.
This month will be interesting.
#ProQR votes are out. deBoer (86.3%) + Shannon (80.7%) re-appointed as Directors. Should encourage corp governance discussion.
Only 78.5% of votes cast were in favor of authorizing Board to issue shares. Not sure the 'no' are aware that we are in the biotech business?

No, unfortunately. We should see the voting results soon. No filings yet. The message should be clear: more urgency, plus I want to see the NTCP preclinical package when #ProQR announce CTA.
#ProQR do you attend todays Annual General Meeting?
#proqr
Adage + Van Herk = 18.6%. Enough to outvote Lily.
What will they do to protect their crown jewel?
#ProQR
They changed delivery, so if the data gains by leaps and bounds, director term limits can take a backseat.
What I dont like is the Lily blackout even when there is progress payment of $1m in 1Q25.
#ProQR here is the van Herk letter. Makes important points, including violation of Dutch securities laws regarding Director term limits.
Annual Meeting next week.

I must say #ProQR is on probation right now. Having delayed clinical entry in this biotech environment was daring.
My demands:
1) It has to be for a substantially better candidate, show NHP data along with CTA news
2) CTA Q2 guidance must be met.
As an apparently long-time shareholder, he is disappointed with mgmt/Board performance, including not expanding Lilly deal and finding additional partnerships. #ProQR
Nice 80% #RNAediting efficiency in patient-derived cells at therapeutically relevant #oligonucleotide concentrations. If #ProQR can take advantage of #FDA platform pathway, #Rett opportunity very exciting.
#WaveLifeSciences, once saying they are out of correcting mutations, are also on it.
#ProQR had hoped to see NHP editing efficiencies for new AX-0810 #cholestatic disease candidate, but largely preclinical data with older (less potent candidate).
Guidance for CTA remains Q2 (though I am skeptical they can meet it) and topline data in Q4.

#ProQR said yesterday they are still in late stages of experiments ahead of CTA filing and data still on track for 2025.
So I expect CTA to slip into Q3. Today important presentation on what hope is the clinical candidate at #asgct25. #RNAediting

I mentioned Prime and Beam because they can 'fix' genes with base and prime editing. Approach also applies to ADAR #RNAediting when targeted at individual mutations, e.g. in #RettSyndrome. #ProQR #WaveLifeSciences
Very satisfying to see progress on #RNAediting efficiencies. Also >50% in #RettSyndrome program. Just 2 years ago, 1-3% were top hits without ADAR overexpression.
#ProQR
#ProQR impressive preclinical AX-0810 cholestatic disease #ASGCT25 abstract. Clinical candidate shows >50% #RNAediting.
Robust changes in biomarkers (serum bile acids; conjugated/unconjugated ratio) already at less editing.

Ok $155m raised. Thats around mkt cap of ADAR patent owner ProQR. How cheap.

At what point will #Chinese biotechs buy up Western #biotechs with critical tech and IP, incl #PrimeMedicine and #ProQR?
$155M Series B investment into preclin #ADAR Therapeutics Co #Airna, highlighting strong interest in modality despite challenging biotech environment.
$ to be used to advance AATD candidate into clinc + develop cardiometabolic candidates: airna.com/news/airna-r... #ProQR #WaveLifeSciences #Korro
#ProQR another nice gain-of-function #RNAediting patent app, this time inspired by a human genetic variant in the #reelin gene conferring 'extreme resistance' to #Alzheimer's.
#ProQR unusual selling volume (2% of outstanding). 1.8 million shares traded so far today. Will it bottom today?
Q2 critical CTA/IND filing guidance with first human data expected in Q4 and cash runway into mid 2027...not worried here, it's in the company's hands.
#RNAediting patent app by #ProQR targeting gain-of-function in MC4R in the #CNS in #obesity.
