SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 19, 2023 | SaltWireBRUSSELS - U.S. pharmaceutical company Pfizer gained unconditional EU antitrust approval on Thursday for its proposed $43 billion acquisition of cancer drug maker Seagen.
Pfizer announced the deal in March, its largest purchase in a string of recent acquisitions thanks to a once-in-a-lifetime cash windfall from its COVID-19 vaccine and treatment. The European Commission said the deal would not significantly reduce competition in the 27-country European Union nor would it have a negative impact on prices.
"The proposed merger would not raise competition concerns," the EU antitrust watchdog said in a statement. Washington-based Seagen is a pioneer of antibody-drug conjugates, which work like"guided missiles" designed to destroy cancer while sparing healthy cells.
