Pfizer declined to comment on the report, while Seagen did not immediately respond to Reuters request for a comment.
Seagen was in advanced talks last year to be acquired by Merck, in a deal that would have been worth $40 billion or more, the Journal reported at the time, but the two sides failed to reach agreement.
