fwiw: Leerink Swann Starts Cytokinetics (CYTK) at Outperform

7:13 AM 7/17/2013 - StreetInsider
(Updated - July 17, 201311:05 AM EDT)

Leerink Swann initiated coverage on Cytokinetics (NASDAQ: CYTK) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $20.00. Analyst Joseph P. Schwartz thinks commercial potential of the Cytokinetics approach has been validated by its agreement with Amgen (Nasdaq: AMGN).

"CYTK has two lead products in development that via novel mechanisms of action appear likely to deliver a therapeutic benefit to patients afflicted by Amyotrophilc Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Heart Failure (HF), 2 areas of significant unmet medical need. We are bullish ahead of Phase II data at YE for lead product tirasemtiv, which MEDACorp Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) believe could be the 1st approved therapeutic able to ameliorate the harsh symptoms of ALS. Nearer term, we anticipate that upcoming Phase II Acute HF data for AMGN-partnered product omecamtiv mecarbil will likely justify advancement of the program and initiation of Phase III in '14."
