    CYTK – damn those premiums are high.  I would try the May 10/15 BCS for 1.25.  They are expecting to release theri Phase 2 data at a neuro conference.   There is a lot riding on those data, and while they let the trial proceed unchanged and the wording says 'improvement', I guarentee they do not know who is on drug and who is not.  This is a controlled trial. 

    Their Phase 2a trial:

    Cytokinetics announced results from our Evidence of Effect clinical trial evaluating tirasemtiv in patients with myasthenia gravis in November 2012 and presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting in March 2013. This clinical trial was a double-blind, randomized, three-period crossover, placebo-controlled, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of tirasemtiv in patients with generalized MG. The primary objective of this trial was to assess the effects of tirasemtiv on various measures of muscle strength, muscle fatigue and pulmonary function. In the trial, at six hours after dosing, improvements (i.e., decreases) in the Quantitative MG score (QMG) were related to the tirasemtiv dose in a statistical significant manner. Both the 250 mg and 500 mg single oral doses of tirasemtiv studied in this Phase IIa clinical trial were well-tolerated.

    Hence, I like my spread with a risk/reward of 4:1.
