  • The company expects aficamten to offer a differentiated profile and risk mitigation program (REMS) compared to competitors, aiming for wider adoption and increased preference share post-launch.
  • The ACACIA study for aficamten in non-obstructive HCM (NHCM) is set for a **Q2 data readout **, potentially leading to a supplemental NDA by the end of next year and a 2027 commercial launch.
  • Cytokinetics projects ending the year with over $1 billion, potentially $1.2 billion, in cash, ensuring a strong financial runway.

Cytokinetics provides update on aficamten regulatory status and commercial strategy
CYTK
Product Launch
Guidance Update
New Projects/Investments
  • Cytokinetics' lead product, aficamten, has a PDUFA date of December 26 for obstructive HCM (OHCM) in the U.S., with anticipated China approval in Q4 and EMA approval early next year.
  • The Acacia study for non-obstructive HCM (NHCM) is expected to have data readout in Q2 (next year), with a positive outcome potentially leading to a supplemental NDA by the end of next year and a commercial launch in NHCM in 2027.
  • The company expects to end the year with over $1 billion, closer to $1.2 billion in cash, providing a strong cash runway to support its business ambitions.
  • Cytokinetics anticipates a differentiated risk mitigation profile for aficamten, potentially leading to a less burdensome REMS program, which could expand prescribing beyond current CMI users and accelerate market penetration.
  • While the CMI class has seen consistent patient adds of 10,000 per year, Cytokinetics believes aficamten's entry, supported by Maple data and a differentiated profile, could increase net patient adds for the class and result in more new patients than MAVA by the end of next year.

  • The company anticipates ending the year with a strong cash position, north of $1 billion, closer to $1.2 billion.
  • Cytokinetics expects a potentially faster launch for aficamten than Camzyos due to a differentiated risk mitigation profile (REMS) and product characteristics, with commercial reimbursement projected to cover 70-75% of commercial lives by the latter half of next year.

  • Cytokinetics aims for Aficamten to have a differentiated risk mitigation profile (REMS) and greater flexibility in dosing compared to competitors, which they believe will facilitate broader prescriber adoption.
