The next market session will close:

On June 18^th, Seattle Genetics (SGEN) announced it had received a milestone payment from Genentech (DNA) after the latter filed an IND (Investigational New Drug) application for an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) powered by Seattle Genetics’ technology. Intriguingly, there was no additional data about the new agent, nor was there any official announcement from Genentech. An article that will be published in this month’s issue of Nature Biotechnology may shed some light on the identity of the new ADC and the technology it utilizes. Based on this article, the new agent will not be based solely on the familiar Seattle Genetics’ ADC technology, but will also utilize a next generation platform with potentially disruptive implications.
