RE:RE:RE:PFE to acquire Seagen?While a tie-up with Seagen makes strategic sense, any acquisition attempt will be scrutinized by antitrust officials seeking to toughen approach to pharma mergers. So don't look at either Pfizer or Merck to seriously move forward with the acquistion of Seagen, unless they want to attract the wrath of the regulators which would place any of their M&A plans in jeapardy.
The rumor of Pfizer tying up with Seagen is another tactical move by Big Pharma to divert attention away from their real intent of aquiring "innovative" assets without the scrutinty of the government or their Big Pharma competitors.
