Basilea Pharmaceutica AG, a Swiss developer of an antibiotic to treat pneumonia, said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked for more data before approving the drug. The stock fell as much as 12 percent.

Basilea doesn’t plan to start the new late-stage clinical trials of its ceftobiprole without a partner for the U.S., the Basel-based company said in a statement today.
