The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Thursday extended the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date for the New Drug Application (NDA) for Cytokinetics Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CYTK#NASDAQ">CYTK</a>)&nbsp;aficamten for patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) to December 26 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44903741/fda-eases-monitoring-requirements-for-bristol-myers-heart-drug-camzyos-analyst-sees-as-timely-boost-ahead-of-rivals-review" rel="noreferrer noopener">from September 26</a>.
The FDA recently notified Cytokinetics that additional time is required to conduct a full review of the company's proposed Risk Evaluation and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitigation Strategy (REMS)</a>.

Following pre-NDA discussions with the FDA in which safety and risk mitigation were discussed, Cytokinetics submitted the NDA for&nbsp;aficamten in oHCM without an accompanying REMS, and the FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/g45150594/cytokinetics-announces-new-pdufa-date-for-aficamten-in-obstructive-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy" rel="noreferrer noopener">accepted the NDA for filing</a>.
Recently, during the NDA review, the FDA requested that Cytokinetics submit a REMS, based on the inherent characteristics of&nbsp;aficamten, which the company provided.
The submission of a REMS has now been determined by FDA to be a Major Amendment to the NDA resulting in a standard three-month extension to the original PDUFA action date.
No additional clinical data or studies have been requested on Cytokinetics by the FDA.
"We remain confident in the distinct benefit-risk and pharmaceutic profile of&nbsp;aficamten and continue to expect a differentiated label and risk mitigation profile upon its potential approval by FDA," said Robert I. Blum, Cytokinetics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "
In April, Bristol Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) released topline data from the Phase 3 ODYSSEY-HCM trial of Camzyos&nbsp;(mavacamten) for symptomatic New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III non-obstructive <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/04/44825297/why-us-pharma-giant-bristol-myers-squibb-stock-trading-lower-on-tuesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM)</a>.

In January, a Stifel analyst wrote that Cytokinetics appears well-positioned to capitalize on Bristol Myers' groundwork with its second-to-market drug, Alicante, which is expected to have a best-in-class profile. There is a strong case for aficamten to secure a differentiated REMS, potentially including six-month echocardiograms <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43143013/analyst-optimistic-about-cytokinetics-heart-drugs-future-despite-ma-hurdles-and-royalty-deal-concerns" rel="noreferrer noopener">(Q6M echos) as a standard</a>.
