Pfizer and Sanofi have each made multi-billion-dollar purchases that widen the scope of their pipelines. Pfizer’s $43 billion acquisition of antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) specialist Seagen gives Pfizer access to Seagen’s linkers, a key part of the technology, and Sanofi’s $2.9 billion buyout of Provention Bio gives Sanofi control of the recently approved Tzield (teplizumab), the first disease-modifying drug for type 1 diabetes (T1D).
