Joseph Pantginis has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, primarily focusing on the promising data from Cytokinetics’ aficamten trials. The recent results from the Phase 3 MAPLE-HCM trial and the FOREST-HCM OLE study indicate that aficamten offers superior efficacy compared to the standard of care treatments, particularly in improving exercise capacity and other cardiac measures without the adverse effects commonly associated with beta-blockers.
Furthermore, the data suggest that aficamten maintains its safety profile over prolonged use, with a low incidence of atrial fibrillation and no significant impact on left ventricular ejection fraction. As the PDUFA date approaches, these findings not only bolster confidence in aficamten’s potential approval but also highlight its potential as a first-line treatment for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The clinical advantages over existing treatments and the possibility of label expansion underscore Pantginis’s positive outlook on Cytokinetics’ stock.
According to TipRanks, Pantginis is an analyst with an average return of -7.9% and a 39.80% success rate. Pantginis covers the Healthcare sector, focusing on stocks such as Krystal Biotech, Capricor Therapeutics, and Esperion.
