About Cytokinetics
Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical
company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing
first-in-class muscle activators as potential treatments for
debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised
and/or declining. As a leader in muscle biology and the mechanics
of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule
drug candidates specifically engineered to increase muscle function
and contractility. Cytokinetics’ lead drug candidate is tirasemtiv,
a fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, for the potential
treatment of ALS. Tirasemtiv has been granted orphan drug
designation and fast track status by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the
European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of ALS.
Cytokinetics retains the right to develop and commercialize
tirasemtiv. Cytokinetics is collaborating with Amgen Inc. to
develop omecamtiv mecarbil, a novel cardiac muscle activator, for
the potential treatment of heart failure. Cytokinetics is
collaborating with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a
fast skeletal muscle activator, for the potential treatment of
spinal muscular atrophy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Amgen holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and
commercialize omecamtiv mecarbil and Astellas holds an exclusive

licenses are subject to Cytokinetics' specified development and
commercialization participation rights. For additional information
