Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said the company's $43 billion acquisition of Seagen will allow it to deliver Seagen's cancer therapy at a scale not seen before. Seagen is a leading developer of medicine called antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which are designed to kill cancer cells and spare healthy ones. The acquisition will bulk up Pfizer's cancer treatment portfolio, bringing four approved cancer therapies with combined sales of nearly $2 billion in 2022. Pfizer expects to complete the transaction later this year or in early 2024.
