Wall Street drops as China support fades, earnings disappoint
The markets, however, quickly turned lower, with analysts saying that neither China hope nor Italy relief was enough for Wall Street gains to sustain.

Gains in the high-growth stocks capped losses in the S&P and the Dow.

Mirati Therapeutics stock drops 19.5% after cancer trial results
Mirati Therapeutics Inc. shares dropped 19.5% in extremely heavy Monday morning trade after the company presented results from a phase 2 trial in which its cancer drug sitravatinib was combined with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s cancer drug Opdivo . The trial enrolled patients with non-small cell lung cancer who had their cancer progress while taking a type of cancer drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor. As of late August, of 56 patients in the trial who could be evaluated, 9 had a confirmed partial or complete response, the company said. Two additional patients had unconfirmed partial or complete responses -- which are awaiting confirmation -- and five others had unconfirmed responses "that will not be confirmed," Mirati said. The company said that in total, 16 patients had partial or complete responses, including the latter two categories of patients in its count. The company also said that 18 patients had tumor reductions of more than 30%, and an early estimate of median duration response was more than nine months. Mirati plans a phase 3 randomized clinical trial comparing a combination of the two cancer drugs with the chemotherapy docetaxel. Bristol-Myers' Opdivo is a checkpoint inhibitor that has already been approved in non-small cell lung cancer. As part of a major trend over the last several years, drugmakers have been testing immuno-oncology drugs like sitravatinib in combination with other cancer drugs, hoping that they might be more effective together. Mirati shares have dropped 41.5% over the last three months to $32.21, compared with a 1.6% slump in the S&P 500 and a 1.1% rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average .

Bristol-Myers Squibb stock drops 6% after FDA delays approval deadline for cancer drug
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. shares dropped nearly 6% in extremely heavy Monday morning trade after the company said that, because of new information from a cancer clinical trial, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is extending the review period for the company's new drug application by three months. This "major amendment to filing overshadows data presentations at [European Society for Medical Oncology]," a recent and major cancer conference, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst John Boris, who rates the company "buy" with a $67 price target, said. The FDA now aims for an approval decision on the drug by or on May 20, 2019. The trial, called CheckMate-227, is an ongoing phase 3 study testing Bristol-Myers' drug Opdivo plus a low dose of another Bristol-Myers drug, Yervoy, against chemotherapy in metastatic first-line non-small cell lung cancer. The new information that Bristol-Myers submitted to the FDA pertains to overall survival for patients whose tumors have a relatively low level of mutations, or a "tumor mutational burden" (TMB) of less than 10 mutations/megabase. TMB is thought to have promise in cancer treatment, as a way of matching patients with the best therapies for their disease, but the way Bristol-Myers has approached the topic has been controversial, because the drugmaker made changes to its clinical trial to measure TMB while the research was already ongoing. Rival Merck & Co. , meanwhile, is seen as leading the space. The FDA considered the new TMB analysis a "major amendment" to the company's drug application, which is why the review period was extended. Bristol-Myers shares have dropped 9.7% over the last three months, compared with a 1.6% decline in the S&P 500 and a 1.1% rise in the Dow Jones Industrial Average .

Intel's stock gains after Instinet says 'buy' ahead of results
Shares of Intel Corp. rose 0.6% in morning trade Monday, after the semiconductor maker was upgraded at Instinet, which cited an upbeat outlook for its 10 nanometer chipsets. Analyst Romit Shah raised his rating to buy, after being at neutral the past four months. "There isn't a company in our semiconductor coverage universe that we see raising estimates in October or November. Intel is likely the only exception," Shaw wrote in a note to clients. Intel is scheduled to report third-quarter results on Oct. 25. Shah expects Intel to remain "supply constrained" until the ramp of 10nm, which sets it up for seasonal revenue growth and stronger gross margins. Said said every U.S. and foreign-based equipment supplier spoken with said they have seen 10nm volumes become more meaningful. "This should help alleviate fears about process technology leadership and share loss and drive Intel's multiple higher," Shah wrote. The stock has tumbled 15% over the past three months, while the PHLX Semiconductor Index has lost 9.7% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has edged up 1.2%.
