    Cytokinetics Presents Aficamten Phase 3 Data at ESC Congress 2026

    Question

    Cytokinetics Presents Aficamten Phase 3 Data at ESC Congress 2026

    Direct answer

    Cytokinetics presented late-breaking trial data for its cardiac myosin inhibitor aficamten at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2026. The ACACIA-HCM trial demonstrated that aficamten produced measurable structural and diastolic cardiac improvements in non-obstructive HCM patients, expanding clinical validation beyond prior exercise capacity endpoints.
