Cytokinetics, Incorporated (NASDAQ:CYTK) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing muscle biology-driven treatments. The company is currently under investigation by Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP for potentially misleading investors about the regulatory timeline for their drug, aficamten.

Investors who bought shares between December 27, 2023, and May 6, 2025, are urged to contact Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP.
