1. GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK)


GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) said its experimental cancer vaccine failed in a trial of patients who had lung cancer. This marks the second time the therapy didn't work as planned, after Glaxo's drug didn't meet its goals in those with melanoma. As opposed to a normal vaccine that looks to prevent diseases, this one is meant to help people who have already had cancer fight-off a recurrence. The drug giant said it's still looking for sub-groups that will be positively impacted by the vaccine.

The shares are down about 2%.
