MannKind shares fell in premarket trading Monday after it said it has stopped a late-stage clinical trial for a new inhaled drug aimed at treating a stubborn form of lung disease.

Shares traded 9.8% lower ahead of the morning bell at $5.08.

The company said it is discontinuing the phase 3 ICoN-1 clinical trial evaluating MNKD-101 which aimed to treat refractory nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease, a persistent, hard-to-treat lung infection caused by environmental mycobacteria that doesn't respond well to standard antibiotic therapy.

After reviewing early results from nearly 50 patients, the biopharmaceutical company found the treatment wasn't working as expected. The lack of results prompted the concerns regarding the likelihood of achieving the study's targets, it said.

The Data Safety Monitoring Board, an independent safety board, agreed the trial should end, though they confirmed the drug was safe.
