Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Cytokinetics, Incorporated
On October 6, 2025, The Gross Law Firm alerted investors about a class action lawsuit against Cytokinetics, Incorporated whose shares are traded under the ticker symbol CYTK on NASDAQ. Shareholders who purchased stock in Cytokinetics during the specific class period are encouraged to take immediate action. The filing indicates that the deadline to join this class action is set for November 17, 2025. This notice serves to inform affected shareholders regarding their rights and potential eligibility for recovery.
Context of the Lawsuit
The class action stems from allegations that Cytokinetics made materially false and misleading statements concerning the timeline for its New Drug Application (NDA) related to aficamten, a critical cardiovascular drug. According to the complaint, company executives misrepresented the status and expected approval timelines of aficamten, asserting that they anticipated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to occur in the latter half of 2025, following a PDUFA date of September 26, 2025. However, what was not disclosed to investors were significant risks surrounding the company’s failure to submit a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) necessary for regulatory approval.
During a corporate earnings call on May 6, 2025, the discrepancies in Cytokinetics' statements were brought to light. Internal discussions prior to the NDA submission revealed that the company had engaged in multiple pre-NDA meetings with the FDA, yet still opted not to include a REMS, relying instead on voluntary educational materials. This decision appears to reflect a conscious choice to overlook significant regulatory requirements, leading to misleading narratives about the expected timeline for drug approval. Consequently, investors became exposed to artificially inflated stock prices, which plummeted following the disclosure of this information.
