Patent cliffs & loss of exclusivity
Seagen is a Bothell, Washington-based biotechnology company that develops antibody-based therapies, principally antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. It was founded in 1998 as Seattle Genetics by Clay Siegall and H. Perry Fell. Its marketed medicines include ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin), PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin), TIVDAK (tisotumab vedotin) and TUKYSA (tucatinib).
