`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes,
`
`I have.
`
`Have you been deposed in an IP case
`
`before?
`
`By IP,
`
`I mean intellectual property.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No, not that I recall.
`
`Okay.
`
`I'll just go over a few ground
`
`rules for today's proceeding, if that's fine with
`
`you.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Sure.
`
`I kind of break them down into three
`
`parts; my questions, your breaks, perhaps, or any
`
`questions you have.
`
`So first with regard to my
`
`questions. My job is to ask the questions, your job
`
`is to answer them, and to answer them truthfully and
`
`accurately.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Does that sound fair?
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay. With regard to breaks, any time
`
`you feel you need a break, it's fine with us,
`
`just
`
`let us know.
`
`If there is a question pending,
`
`however,
`
`I would just ask that you answer that
`
`question and then we can take a break afterwards.
`
`'
`
`Is that fine?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay. And to the extent that you have
`
`any questions of a question that I've asked or are

`
`unclear about something, please let me know and I'll
`
`be happy to either clarify or rephrase the question.
`
`Is that okay?
`
`Yes.
`
`And if I ask a question and you answer
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`it, I'll assume that you understood the question.

`
`Is that fine?

`

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay.
`
`Is there any reason why you
`
`cannot testify today truthfully and accurately?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No, no reason.
`
`I'd like to mark the first exhibit.
`

`
`Now, Dr. Cykiert,
`
`the court
`
`reporter has just handed you a document that is
`
`entitled, Responsive Expert Report of Robert C.
`
`Cykiert, M.D., on Objective Indicia of
`
`Non—Obviousness.
`
`Is what has been marked as Cykiert
`
`Exhibit 1 your expert report,
`
`including any exhibits
`
`or appendices that you have submitted in this case?

`
`A
`Q
`
`I'm sorry.
`What's the question?
`Is this the expert report that you have
`
`submitted in this matter?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes, it looks like it.
`
`Okay.
`
`Can you please turn to the page
`
`in your expert report after page 31.
`
`I
`I
`
`!
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`at the top?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Okay.
`
`On that page do you see the signature
`
`Yes.
`
`Is that your signature?
`
`Yes, it is.
`
`Now, on the next page, which actually
`
`doesn't have a page number,
`
`there's another
`
`signature.
`
`Is that your signature as well?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Now,
`
`if you hold these two pages open
`
`together,
`
`I think as you are doing presently,
`
`the
`
`page after page 31 has a date of February 3 at the
`
`top.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Do you see that?
`
`Yes.
`
`The next page actually has a date of
`
`February 1, 2016 at the top.
`
`Do you see that?

`
`l

`

`

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Do you know why you have two signature
`
`pages with two different dates.
`
`A
`
`Yeah, apparently I signed it without
`
`5,
`
`looking at the date and later I was told it was the
`
`6
`
`7
`
`8
`
`9
`
`10
`
`11
`
`12
`
`wrong date,
`
`so I had to re—sign it again with the
`
`correct date.
`
`Q
`
`And which one is the correct date that
`
`you re—signed?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`I believe it was February 1.
`
`Okay.
`
`So you signed the report on
`
`February 1, but February 3 was the date indicated
`
`13' when you signed it?
`
`14 '
`
`A
`
`Apparently it was the wrong day.
`
`I
`

`
`17
`

`
`19
`
`20
`
`21
`
`22
`
`23
`
`24 I
`
`25
`
`believe I signed it actually on February 1, but I
`
`didn't notice that it had the wrong date printed on
`
`it, February 3,
`
`so I was asked to re-sign it with
`
`the correct date.
`
`Q
`
`Okay.
`
`Thank you.
`
`Who prepared your expert report in this
`
`case?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`I prepared it.
`
`Did you prepare it by yourself?
`
`I prepared it with the attorneys.
`
`Okay.

`

`Q

`
`Yes, it does.
`
`And is this CV current and accurate as
`
`A
`
`I think it's accurate to within
`
`probably about six months or so.
`
`Q
`
`Okay.
`
`Is there anything that you would
`
`like to add to your CV that's not presently in it?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Nothing right now that I can think of.
`
`Okay. And your curriculum vitae lists
`
`your current, relevant professional experience,
`
`correct?
`
`A
`
`Yes.
`
`14
`15-
`
`Q
`Dr. Cykiert,
`in what areas do you
`consider yourself an expert?

`

`
`A
`
`I'm an ophthalmologist and I have
`
`special expertise in what's called the anterior
`
`segment of the eye, which is the front of the eye,
`
`which includes things like cataract surgery, cornea,
`
`external disease, any diseases, conditions, problems
`
`I
`
`or complications or surgeries of the front part of
`
`the eye.
`
`Q
`
`You're not an expert on any of these
`
`conditions in the posterior part of the eye?
`
`A
`
`The posterior part of the eye is

`Page 13
`
`1
`
`2
`
`3
`
`4
`
`5
`

`
`connected to the front of the eye, so I'm also, as
`
`an ophthalmologist, an expert on all parts of the
`
`eye, front to back, but
`
`I have specific fellowship
`
`training in the anterior segment of the eye.
`
`So
`

`

`
`Q
`
`Any other areas of ophthalmology that
`
`you would consider yourself an expert
`
`in other than
`
`what you just stated?
`
`A
`
`Basically it depends how you define
`
`expert. What do you mean by "expert"?
`
`Q
`
`Well, do you have an expertise in any
`
`other areas of ophthalmology other than what you
`
`just described?
`
`A
`
`I have numerous areas of expertise
`
`within ophthalmology. Again, depending on how you
`
`define "expert," I have special super expertise in
`
`the front part of the eye, but I'm also an expert on
`
`the back of the eye,
`
`the middle the eye,
`
`the sides
`
`of the eye and every disease and condition of the
`
`eye.
`
`Q
`
`Okay. Are you an expert
`
`in the field
`
`of pharmacy?
`
`A
`
`That I'm not an expert
`
`in, no.

`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Have you ever practiced pharmacy?
`
`No,
`
`I have not.
`
`Are you an expert
`
`in the area of
`
`pharmacology?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No,
`
`I'm not an expert in pharmacology.
`
`And neither are you an expert in
`
`pharmacokinetics?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`I am not an expert
`
`in pharmacokinetics.
`
`Nor are you an expert
`
`in
`
`pharmacodynamics, right?
`
`A
`
`I'm not an expert in pharmacodynamics.
`
`But
`
`I should say that I know certain things about
`
`all those things that you mentioned simply because
`
`part of ophthalmology is treating conditions,
`
`diseases with various drugs which required me to
`
`know a bit about pharmacy, pharmacokinetics and
`
`pharmacodynamics.
`
`Q
`
`But as you stated, you don't consider
`
`yourself an expert in those areas, correct?
`
`A
`
`Again, depending on how you define
`
`"expert," I would say with my definition of expert,
`
`I'm not an expert in those, as I previously stated.
`
`Q
`
`That's fine.
`
`Dr. Cykiert, have you ever conducted
`
`any research on any bromfenac—containing product?

`

`
`A
`
`Well,
`
`I majored in chemistry in

`
`so I do have basic fundamental knowledge of
`
`:
`
`chemistry, especially how it applies to the eye and
`
`diseases of the eye, but I wouldn't consider myself
`

`
`Q
`
`Thank you. Would you consider yourself
`
`an expert in chemical stability testing of aqueous
`
`liquid preparations?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`That I'm not an expert in.
`
`Have you ever conducted any chemical

`
`It's a patent that blocks radiation

`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`So not
`
`involved in ophthalmology,

`

`
`Are you a named inventor on any pending

`
`A

`Q
`
`Could you repeat that?
`
`Sure. Are you a named inventor on any
`
`pending U.S. Patent applications?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No.
`
`You mentioned you have at least one
`
`patent. Are you comfortable reading patent claims?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`What do you mean by am I comfortable?
`
`Let me back up a minute.
`
`Do you know
`

`
`A
`
`Sure.
`
`Okay. When you read patent claims, do

`you feel you understand them?
`

`
`Yes.

`
`Okay.
`
`If it's a patent in ophthalmology or
`
`related to ophthalmology I feel very comfortable
`

`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Very good.
`
`Thank you.
`
`Are you an expert
`
`in clinical testing?
`
`No,
`
`I'm not.
`
`Have you ever conducted any clinical
`
`testing with a pharmaceutical product?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No,
`
`I don't believe I have.
`
`And so that would include not having
`
`conducted any testing, clinical testing with an
`
`ophthalmic product, correct?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Correct.
`
`In connection with your opinions in
`
`this matter, did you conduct any testing comparing a
`
`bromfenac —— comparing bromfenac—containing

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No,
`
`I did not.
`
`And you understand that Prolensa is a

`
`Yes.

`
`a bromfenac-containing composition, correct?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`You did not conduct any comparative

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`That's correct,
`
`I did not.
`
`Nor did you conduct any comparative
`
`testing between Prolensa and Xibrom, correct?
`
`A

`
`Yes.
`
`The first case in the first bullet
`
`point, Chery versus Malik.
`
`Do you see that?
`
`Yes.
`
`What was your role in that case?
`
`I believe that was a medical
`
`A
`

`
`A
`
`malpractice case.
`
`Q
`
`A

`
`A

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`That case I don't recall.
`
`Thank you. That was in 2015, correct?
`
`Right.
`
`Okay.
`
`How about
`
`the next case,
`
`Gallimore versus Allison. What was that case about?
`

`
`That's a medical malpractice case as

`And you appeared as an expert

`I don't think I appeared in that.
`
`You provided testimony in that case,
`
`Yes.
`
`In what capacity?
`
`As a defense expert.
`
`Did you provide testimony at trial?
`
`No, not at trial.
`
`Did you provide deposition testimony?

`
`Okay. And did you say that this case

`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Okay. There are six more cases on your
`

`
`Were all of those medical malpractice cases?

`
`surgery.
`
`Q
`
`Okay. And which side in the litigation
`
`did you represent?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`I represented the doctor.
`
`So you were offering your opinions in
`
`defense of a malpractice suit brought against the
`
`doctor?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Dr. Cykiert,
`
`is CME an abbreviation for
`
`cystoid macular edema?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes, it is.
`
`If I refer to cystoid macular edema
`
`today as CME, will you understand what
`
`I mean?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`presume?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`And that will be easy for both of us,
`
`I
`
`Yes, that's a nice abbreviation.
`
`Is it correct that Prolensa is approved
`
`for post-operative treatment of inflammation and
`
`pain after cataract surgery?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Now, Prolensa is not approved for
`
`treatment of CME, correct?
`
`A
`
`That's not the official approval,

`

`
`THE WITNESS: Well, approval by whom?
`
`BY MR.

`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`By the FDA.
`
`Not by the FDA, no.
`
`Does it have approval by anyone for the
`
`treatment of CME?
`
`A
`
`It has approval by many doctors who use
`
`it for
`
`that purpose off label, which is perfectly
`
`accept
`
`able.
`
`Q
`
`Administering compounds off label is
`

`
`Yes.
`
`Is that what you're saying?
`
`Right.
`
`What is your basis for that?
`
`MR.
`
`JANUSZ: Objection, calls for
`
`speculation.

`
`understood that certain medications have uses

`
`off label?
`
`A
`
`It depends on what you mean by "often."
`
`It depends on the ophthalmic, it depends on the
`
`patient's condition.
`
`It depends on numerous
`
`factors.
`
`Q
`
`Have you administered ophthalmics off
`
`label before?
`
`A
`
`Yes,
`
`I have, as have thousands of other
`
`ophthalmologists every day.
`
`Q
`
`Are you familiar with the ophthalmic
`
`Voltaren?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Is it approved by the FDA for the
`
`treatment of CME?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No, it's not.
`
`In fact,
`
`there are no ophthalmic NSAIDs
`
`that are approved by the FDA for the treatment of
`
`CME, correct?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Correct.
`
`And there are no ophthalmic NSAIDS
`
`approved by the FDA for the prevention or
`
`prophylaxis of CME, correct?

`

`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Yes,
`
`there is a distinction.
`
`What is it?
`
`Well, broadly, prevention means putting
`
`a patient on a drug to try to prevent a condition
`
`from occurring. And treatment is the condition or
`
`disease already exists and you're using a drug to
`
`try to cure or treat that disease or condition.
`
`Q
`
`And the explanation you just gave as
`
`between prophylaxis and treatment would similarly
`
`apply to the prophylaxis and treatment of CME?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`That's correct.
`
`Other than for the treatment
`
`post—operatively of inflammation and pain after
`
`cataract surgery, Prolensa is not approved for

`
`And the approved indication on the
`
`Prolensa label is not limited to cases where the
`
`patient has diabetes, correct?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`That's correct.
`
`Are you familiar with the term "sulfite
`
`sensitivity" with regard to ophthalmics?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Are asthmatics a class of people that
`
`could have sulfite sensitivity?
`
`A
`
`Asthmatics can and so can anybody else.
`
`Some people are allergic to sulfites.
`
`Q
`
`When someone is allergic to sulfites,
`
`how does that manifest itself clinically?
`
`A
`
`Just like any allergy,
`
`there are
`
`various manifestations.
`
`Sometimes it could just be
`
`itching of the skin.
`
`Some people can get hives.
`
`Some people can get respiratory problems,
`
`they have
`
`difficulty breathing, and in the most severe cases
`
`they can have what's called anaphylaxis, which is a
`
`severe life—threatening reaction where they can't
`
`breathe,
`
`their blood pressure drops,
`
`their heart may
`
`24 .
`
`even stop.
`
`So there's a broad spectrum of allergic
`
`25
`
`reactions that can occur with sulfite.

`
`And in the context of ophthalmics,
`
`this
`

`
`I'll just object to the

`
`BY MR. DINER:
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`You can answer.
`
`That's been known for a while. Several
`
`drops contain that, and we know some patients have
`
`sulfite allergies.
`
`Q
`
`Was it known prior to 2003 that
`
`there -- some people who were sulfite sensitive in
`
`the context of taking ophthalmics, for example?
`
`MR.
`
`JANUSZ:
`
`Same objection.
`
`THE WITNESS:
`
`I can't tell you
`
`specifically what year the sulfite allergy
`
`issue came up with in ophthalmics.
`
`I'm not
`
`sure why you picked 2003, but
`
`I couldn't tell
`
`you exactly what year,
`
`so I can't answer that
`
`accurately.

`
`I'd like to mark the next

`BY MR. DINER:
`
`Q
`
`Now, Dr. Cykiert,
`
`the court reporter
`
`has just handed you a publication to Yang, et al.,
`
`and it is entitled, Adverse Reactions to Sulfites.
`

`
`It's a couple—page document.
`

`
`it and let me know when you're ready and I'll ask
`
`you some questions.
`
`A
`
`Do you want me to read the entire
`
`document before you ask me questions?
`
`Q
`
`Well, how about I ask you some
`
`questions, and to the extent you need to refer to
`
`the document in greater detail you should feel free
`
`to do so.
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Okay.
`
`Now,
`
`just a few moments ago you were
`
`talking about anaphylactic shock,
`
`I believe.
`
`Do you recall that?
`
`Yes.
`
`You see in that first paragraph of this
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`article on the first page,
`
`left—hand column, it says
`
`—— second sentence,
`
`In the United States more than
`
`250 cases of sulfite—re1ated adverse reactions,
`
`including anaphylactic shock, asthmatic attacks,
`
`urticaria and angioedema, nausea, abdominal pain and
`
`diarrhea, seizures and death have been reported.

`
`BY MR. DINER:
`
`Q
`
`Now,
`
`in the context of what we were
`

`
`the manifestations of sulfite sensitivity, does the
