Cytokinetics on Wednesday said an early study of its CK-586 potential treatment for a subgroup of heart-failure patients hit its key goals.
Cytokinetics said the Phase 1 study met its primary and secondary objectives to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple oral doses of CK-586, which is designed to reduce the hypercontractility associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
The South San Francisco, Calif., company said the data support the advancement of CK-586 into a Phase 2 study slated to begin the fourth quarter.
Cytokinetics said roughly half of patients with heart failure have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
