Shares of Insmed were lower after the pharmaceutical company said it was discontinuing development of its brensocatib treatment for patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps.

Shares dropped 16% to $167.39 in Thursday morning trading. The stock has risen by nearly two-and-a-half times its value this year.

Insmed terminated the development program Wednesday after a Phase 2b study of the treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis failed to meet its primary or secondary endpoints.

The company also said Wednesday that it had acquired an antibody treatment from Opsidio. Insmed said it is looking to launch Phase 2 studies of the treatment for interstitial lung disease and moderate-to-severe asthma.
