THE EDITORIAL QUANT
Why Do a Clinical Trial When You Can Just Trade the Results Early?
The SEC's January 2026 enforcement docket reads like a pharmaceutical crime anthology. Three separate insider trading cases, each targeting the life sciences industry, each illustrating a different flavor of the same fundamental problem: clinical trial data is the most valuable nonpublic information in the market, and the people closest to it keep trading on it.
Start with the small stuff. On January 26, the SEC settled with an individual who sold shares of a pharmaceutical company right before the company disclosed negative FDA feedback on a depression treatment.
The stock dropped 53%. The avoided losses: $19,680. The penalty: disgorgement of that amount plus a matching civil penalty and a five-year officer/director bar. For context, that's roughly what you'd pay for a used Honda Civic. The SEC brought a federal case over it anyway. See the full breakdown →
