Faruqi & Faruqi Launches Investigation Into Cytokinetics Investor Claims

Investigation Launch by Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a well-respected national securities law firm, is stepping into the limelight as it begins investigating potential claims on behalf of investors who have encountered significant financial losses while investing in Cytokinetics, Incorporated (NASDAQ: CYTK). Particularly, the firm is focusing on individuals who may have lost over $75,000 between December 27, 2023, and May 6, 2025.

The impetus for this investigation comes on the heels of serious concerns regarding Cytokinetics’ compliance with regulatory standards and communications regarding its New Drug Application (NDA) for aficamten. Allegations have emerged that the company made materially false and misleading statements about the anticipated timeline for this NDA submission and its approval process. The firm is urging those affected to reach out directly to Senior Partner, James (Josh) Wilson, for a detailed exploration of their legal rights and possible courses of action.

Background of the Case

According to reports, the defendants at Cytokinetics indicated that they expected the FDA would approve the NDA during the second half of 2025, referencing a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date set for September 26, 2025, without disclosing critical details about a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that could negatively impact the approval process. This lack of transparency potentially misled investors about the realistic regulatory environment in which Cytokinetics was operating.

The scandal escalated on May 6, 2025, when Cytokinetics conducted an earnings call wherein it was disclosed that the company had engaged in multiple discussions with the FDA about safety monitoring and risk mitigation measures but ultimately decided to submit the NDA without a REMS. This revelation solidified claims that the company was aware of potential REMS requirements, yet chose to omit such crucial information from its initial submission, a decision that could be viewed as reckless.

Investors' Plight and Class Action Details

As a direct result of these misleading communications, investors purchased shares of Cytokinetics at inflated prices, only to face substantial financial losses when the truth came to light post-announcement. The urgency of this investigation is underscored by the looming deadline of November 17, 2025, for seeking lead plaintiff status in the ongoing federal securities class action lawsuit against the company. This designation is significant as it positions the selected investor to spearhead the litigation efforts on behalf of others affected by the alleged misconduct.

Faruqi & Faruqi encourages potential class members to be proactive—either by directly pursuing the lead plaintiff role or by remaining an absent class member, fully aware that their eligibility for any potential compensation remains unchanged regardless of their decision.

Furthermore, the firm is reaching out to whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders, and individuals with pertinent information regarding Cytokinetics’ actions to come forward and participate in this important investigation. Anyone wishing to discuss their involvement in this matter is invited to contact the firm at the provided numbers to explore their legal standing.
