Merck proposed acquisition of Seagen

Aug 26, 2022

Merck & Co is reportedly in negotiations to acquire Seagen Inc (previously known as Seattle Genetics, Inc), with negotiations presently having stalled due to a failure to agree on price.  The acquisition could give Merck access to Seagen’s pipeline of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).  Merck has previously announced strategic oncology collaborations with Seagen for two of its ADCs as well as Merck taking a USD1B equity stake in Seagen.   Neither Merck nor Seagen have made any formal announcement about the purported acquisition.
