Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in cardiovascular treatments. The company focuses on developing muscle activators and inhibitors to treat diseases where cardiac muscle performance is impaired. Their drug candidates aim to improve myocardial muscle function and contractility. One of their leading products, aficamten, is a next-in-class cardiac myosin inhibitor. Following positive results from the SEQUOIA-HCM Phase 3 clinical trial for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), Cytokinetics is preparing for regulatory submissions for aficamten. This drug is also being evaluated in several other clinical trials, including MAPLE-HCM, ACACIA-HCM, CEDAR-HCM, and FOREST-HCM, targeting various forms of HCM.
Additionally, the company is working on omecamtiv mecarbil, a cardiac muscle activator for heart failure patients. Other notable projects include CK-586, a cardiac myosin inhibitor distinct from aficamten aimed at treating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and CK-136, a cardiac troponin activator designed for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and other types of heart failure, such as right ventricular failure.
