Pfizer Thinks Bigger With 3SBio Deal

  • Pfizer Inc. decided to think bigger after the Summit deal in February and that it needs control of a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody versus participating with its ADC pipeline. The 3SBio deal allows increased control of its oncology pipeline and much higher financial rewards in the long run, and comes at a relatively low cost. The jury is still out on the PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody class of drugs, but the data to date make this approach worth exploring, and perhaps even necessary.
