Cytokinetics and The ALS Association Renew Partnership to Advance the Fight Against ALS

July 27, 2016 -- South San Francisco

Cytokinetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CYTK) and The ALS Association today announced the continuation and expansion of their partnership in the fight against ALS, including Cytokinetics' renewal of its Gold Level Sponsorship of the National Walks to Defeat ALS® and Platinum Level Sponsorship for initiatives led by The ALS Association Golden West Chapter.

"We are proud to continue and scale up our long-standing partnership with The ALS Association at both the national and local levels," said Robert I. Blum, Cytokinetics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our commitment to people fighting ALS is unwavering.  Joining forces with leading advocates, we believe we can increase education, awareness and fundraising to combat this devastating disease as we further our mission to develop a potential new medicine that may make a clinically meaningful impact."

Cytokinetics is participating in initiatives conducted by The ALS Association intended to accelerate the execution of clinical trials through innovative design approaches, and to pave the way for faster approvals of new medicines for people living with ALS. The company also recently joined The ALS Association on Capitol Hill in meetings with government officials to advocate for patients with ALS and their caregivers.

In June, The ALS Association Golden West Chapter honored Cytokinetics with the "Commitment to a Cure" Award at the chapter's "Champions for Care and a Cure" celebration. This prestigious award was presented not only for the company's dedication to ALS drug development, but also for its many contributions to support the ALS community and ongoing participation in community outreach events. Staff from Cytokinetics will participate in the Golden West Chapter's upcoming ALS Awareness Day with the San Francisco Giants as well as the South Bay Walk to Defeat ALS and Napa Valley Ride to Defeat ALS.

"Cytokinetics is an invaluable collaborator of the Golden West Chapter, and we value their leadership and continuing support of vital care services for the ALS community that we serve," said Fred Fisher, MSW, President and CEO of The ALS Association Golden West Chapter.

"Our partnership with Cytokinetics is anchored in our shared goal to help everyone affected by ALS," said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association. "We are grateful for their tireless work in the search for an effective treatment for ALS and their commitment to our mission and vision."
