Class Action Filed Against Cytokinetics, Incorporated
On October 1, 2025, Levi & Korsinsky, LLP announced a class action lawsuit against Cytokinetics, Incorporated (NASDAQ: CYTK). This action aims to recover losses for investors adversely affected by alleged securities fraud occurring between December 27, 2023, and May 6, 2025. Investors are urged to take notice, as the deadline for joining this class action suit is swiftly approaching on November 17, 2025.
Understanding the Allegations
The lawsuit centers around claims that key figures within Cytokinetics made materially false and misleading statements regarding the timeline for the New Drug Application (NDA) submission and approval process for their drug, aficamten. Initially, the defendants claimed that they anticipated FDA approval for the NDA in the latter half of 2025, counting on a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date set for September 26, 2025. However, they failed to communicate significant risks surrounding the submission process for a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), which was a necessary step to ultimately ensure regulatory approval.
In a striking turn of events, the truth emerged during an earnings call on May 6, 2025, where it was disclosed that Cytokinetics had engaged in various pre-NDA discussions with the FDA focusing on safety monitoring that necessitated a REMS submission. Despite this awareness, the decision was made to proceed with the NDA submission without including a REMS, depending solely on product labeling and voluntary education materials. This critical omission clearly indicated a disregard for known regulatory requirements and left investors misled about the timing associated with drug approval.
As a result of these actions, investors who purchased Cytokinetics common stock at inflated prices experienced significant financial losses when the reality of the situation came to light.
Call to Action for Affected Investors
If you are one of the investors who experienced losses during the specified timeframe, it is imperative that you act before the November 17, 2025, deadline to join the class action.
