Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 18, 2013, Cytokinetics, Inc. issued a press release announcing that results from ATOMIC-AHF have been accepted for presentation during a Hot Line Late Breaking Trials Session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2013. ATOMIC-AHF is a Phase IIb clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an intravenous formulation of omecamtiv mecarbil compared to placebo in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction who are hospitalized with acute heart failure.

Amgen holds an exclusive, worldwide license to omecamtiv mecarbil and related compounds, subject to Cytokinetics’ specified development and commercialization participation rights. ATOMIC-AHF was conducted by Amgen in collaboration with Cytokinetics. Cytokinetics is reviewing initial data from ATOMIC-AHF with Amgen. The ESC policy with regard to clinical trial results accepted for presentation at its Congress is that no results should be disclosed publicly until presented at the Congress or as may otherwise be approved in advance by the ESC. Cytokinetics does not have current plans to disclose results from ATOMIC-AHF prior to the ESC Congress 2013.

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.
