GOP Lawmaker Loses $17 Million After Favorite Pharma Stock Plunges

Chris Collins is biggest shareholder in Australia’s Innate

Shares down 92% Tuesday after experimental drug didn’t work

Republican congressman Chris Collins’ hot biotechnology stock pick just went south.

Collins suffered a paper loss of A$22 million ($16.7 million) after Innate Immunotherapeutics Ltd. said a mid-stage trial of its experimental treatment for multiple sclerosis showed no effect in helping patients. The New York congressman is the biggest shareholder in the Australian drugmaker. After the data was reported Tuesday, the shares fell 92 percent in Sydney to less than 5 Australian cents.

Innate’s stock, sold in an initial public offering in December 2013, had gradually risen through 2016 before soaring early 2017 to peak at $1.77 on Jan. 25.

Collins’ office didn’t return a call seeking comment.
