Amgen set to decide on Cytokinetics license

9 March 2009

US drug developer Cytokinetics has delivered to its partner, Amgen data  from Phase I and IIa studies of CK-1827452 that it believes will allow  the biotechnology major to decide on whether or not to license its novel  cardiac myosin activator, which is being developed to treat heart  failure.

In 2007, the companies signed a collaboration and option agreement  regarding CK-1827452 and other novel small-molecule compounds that  activate cardiac muscle contractility for potential applications in the  treatment of HF (Marketletter January 15, 2007).
