Overview

  • The case, Seidman v. Cytokinetics, Incorporated, No. 25-cv-07923, is filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and no class has been certified.
  • Plaintiffs define a class period from December 27, 2023 through May 6, 2025, covering purchases of Cytokinetics securities.
