Frequently asked questions about CK-3773274

What is CK-3773274 used for?

CK-3773274 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a cardiovascular condition. It is not yet approved for any indication and remains in clinical development. The drug is being studied in adults with HCM to evaluate its safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.

What does CK-3773274 target?

CK-3773274 targets cardiac myosin, a protein involved in heart muscle contraction. By modulating cardiac myosin, the drug aims to reduce excessive contractility associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This mechanism is distinct from other HCM therapies that target different pathways.

Who is developing CK-3773274?

CK-3773274 is being developed by Cytokinetics, Incorporated, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker CYTK. Cytokinetics focuses on therapies for cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases.

What phase is CK-3773274 in?

CK-3773274 is in Phase 2 clinical development. A completed Phase 2 trial, NCT04219826, evaluated the drug in adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA or any regulatory agency.

What clinical trials is CK-3773274 in?

CK-3773274 has been studied in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT04219826, titled "Dose-finding Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of CK-3773274 in Adults With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy." The trial enrolled 96 participants across the United States, Italy, Netherlands, and Spain.
