Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 12, 2012, Cytokinetics, Incorporated issued a press release announcing the publication of its Phase II Evidence of Effect (EoE) clinical study of CK-2017357, an orally bioavailable fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The results published online in the journal Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis demonstrated that single oral doses of 250 mg and 500 mg of CK-2017357 appeared safe and well-tolerated in patients with ALS that were studied. Measures of muscle endurance also appeared to be improved in a dose-related fashion in patients who received CK-2017357. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
