    The drugmaker acquired Rova-T through its $5.8 billion acquisition of Stemcentrx in 2016, as it aimed to enter the broad and lucrative arena of solid tumours and lessen dependence on its blockbuster arthritis treatment Humira.


    United States: Abbvie Inc on Friday said it will record an estimated $4 billion in impairment charges related to the scrapping of its development program of Rova-T, an investigational cancer therapy.
