Investor Alert: Pomerantz Law Firm Takes Action Against Cytokinetics
In a significant move for investors, Pomerantz LLP has announced the filing of a class action lawsuit against Cytokinetics, Incorporated, a biotechnology company publicly traded under the NASDAQ symbol CYTK. This lawsuit has emerged as a response to alarming reports of securities fraud and questionable business practices within the company, directly affecting the financial security of its shareholders.
Background of the Case
The class action lawsuit is centered around allegations that Cytokinetics, along with specific officers and directors, may have engaged in fraudulent activities that misled investors. Those who suffered losses during the class period are advised by Pomerantz to make contact as they investigate further claims. It’s crucial for affected shareholders to act promptly, as the deadline for appointing a Lead Plaintiff is set for November 17, 2025.
On March 10, 2025, Cytokinetics disclosed concerning news that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would not hold an advisory committee meeting regarding the New Drug Application (NDA) for aficamten, a critical drug for the company. This revelation raised red flags among investors, leading to a considerable decline in Cytokinetics' stock value.
On May 1, 2025, Cytokinetics further disclosed that the FDA had delayed its action on the aficamten NDA from September 26, 2025, to December 26, 2025, to review a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). This REMS was critical, as it revealed the company had not submitted one with the initial NDA submission, which stood in stark contrast to the requirements and expectations surrounding drug approvals. This information caused a further drop in stock price, leaving investors reeling.
On May 6, 2025, in a move to clarify the situation, CEO Robert I. Blum acknowledged that the company had multiple pre-NDA meetings with the FDA wherein safety monitoring and risk mitigation were discussed. However, the decision to submit the NDA without a REMS was evidently made, relying heavily on alternative safety measures. The reaction was swift, leading to yet another drop in stock price for Cytokinetics, cementing the concerns investors have about the company’s practices.
