Pliant Therapeutics shares fell sharply in pre-market trading Monday after it said it would pause its pulmonary fibrosis drug following a review by independent monitors.
Shares traded 55% lower ahead of the morning bell at $3.51.
The clinical stage biopharmaceutical company said Friday it decided to pause the Beacon-IPF phase 2b trial of bexotegrast after a prespecified data review and recommendations by the trial's independent Data Safety Monitoring Board.
The drug is a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a common type of pulmonary fibrosis which is characterized by scarring of the lungs but in particular, where the scarring is of unknown cause.
The pause means that the company won't enroll anymore patients to the study and will also halt dosing for the time being.
Pliant said that it will review the data to understand the monitoring board's rationale for their recommendation. It has also informed clinical trial investigators and is in the process of informing global regulatory authorities.
