About Cytokinetics
Cytokinetics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
discovery and development of novel small molecule therapeutics that modulate
muscle function for the potential treatment of serious diseases and medical
conditions. Cytokinetics is developing tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle
activator, as a potential treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Tirasemtiv has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by
the European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of ALS. Cytokinetics
is collaborating with Amgen Inc. to develop omecamtiv mecarbil, a cardiac muscle
activator, for the potential treatment of heart failure. Cytokinetics is
collaborating with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a fast skeletal
muscle activator, for the potential treatment of spinal muscular atrophy. Amgen
holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize omecamtiv
mecarbil and Astellas holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and
commercialize CK-2127107. Both licenses are subject to Cytokinetics' specified
development and commercialization participation rights. All of these drug
candidates have arisen from Cytokinetics' muscle biology focused research
activities and are directed towards the cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a
complex biological infrastructure that plays a fundamental role within every
human cell. Additional information about Cytokinetics can be obtained at
