Down today, probably because of this in their release:

Furthermore, the company has decided to continue patient enrollment for its two ongoing phase 3 clinical trials with plecanatide in IBS-C. The decision to continue enrollment comes after trial monitoring demonstrated a slower enrollment pace combined with an increase in the number of patients not meeting randomization criteria after the screening period prior to starting treatment.

“Our first priority is to ensure high quality trials that reflect our rigorous standards and expectations," said Dr. Jacob, "To that end, we are updating our timing for top-line data in both trials to the fourth quarter of this year and intend to file the plecanatide NDA in IBS-C in the first quarter of 2017. We remain confident that plecanatide will continue to deliver outstanding clinical results consistent with previous trials, ultimately providing an important treatment option for patients suffering from IBS-C.”
