`
`INTRODUCTION
`I submit this declaration on behalf of Abraxis Bioscience, LLC (“Abraxis”
`
`
`
`or “Patent Owner”), Patent Owner of U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,820,788 (“the ’788 patent”),
`
`7,923,536 (“the ’536 patent”), and 8,138,229 (“the ’229 patent”) (collectively, “the
`
`Abraxis Patents”) to provide my opinions on certain matters in connection with the
`
`petitions for inter partes reviews filed by Cipla Ltd., (“Cipla” or “Petitioner”) in
`
`case nos. IPR2018-00162, IPR2018-00163, and IPR2018-00164 (collectively, the
`
`“Cipla IPR Petitions”).
`
`II. BACKGROUND & QUALIFICATIONS
`I am the founder and president of Quantitative Economic Solutions, LLC
`2.
`
`(“QES”), a microeconomic consulting firm. I received a Doctor of Philosophy
`
`degree (Ph.D.) in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in
`
`Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1989. My fields of specialization include industrial
`
`organization and econometrics.
`
`3.
`
`I have evaluated pharmaceutical patent issues in the context of commercial
`
`success and injunctive relief considerations on numerous occasions. I also have
`
`extensive experience in the valuation of intellectual property and in the assessment
`
`of economic injury/damages sustained as a result of copyright, trademark, and/or
`

`patent infringement. Industries that I have studied in this context include:
`
`pharmaceutical products, over-the-counter medications and instruments, medical
`
`devices, consumer products, computer hardware and software, and
`
`semiconductors. I have been qualified and have testified as an expert in many
`
`Federal Courts throughout the United States as an economist generally, as an
`
`expert in statistics/surveys, and as an expert in the economics of the
`
`pharmaceutical industry specifically.
`
`4.
`
`QES is being compensated for my time spent on this matter at an hourly rate
`
`of $850, which is my customary rate. Payment is not contingent on the outcome of
`
`this matter. QES is also compensated for the time spent on this matter by persons
`
`working at my direction. Those rates are lower than my hourly rate.
`

`
`A copy of my curriculum vitae, including a list of publications I have
`
`authored, is attached to this declaration as Appendix A.
`
`III. BASIS OF OPINIONS
`In forming my opinions, I have reviewed the Cipla IPR Petitions, portions of
`6.
`
`the Patent Owner’s Preliminary Responses in IPR2017-01101; 01103; and 01104
`
`(“Actavis IPRs”), the Institution Decisions in the Actavis IPRs, portions of the
`
`Abraxis Patents, portions of the references cited in the Petitions in the Actavis
`
`IPRs, as well as the other documents identified below.
`

`
`IV. STATEMENTS
`I have been asked to consider whether the Kadima reference (EX1004)
`8.
`
`would have provided economic motivation to a skilled artisan “to reduce
`
`Capxol™’s albumin-paclitaxel ratio in order to obtain a more cost-effective and
`
`commercially viable formulation.” (’229 Pet. 50; ’788 Pet. 48; ’536 Pet. 49)1
`
`Based on my review of Kadima, Desai (EX1006), and my knowledge in the field
`
`of economics with respect to the pharmaceutical industry as of 1998, it is my
`
`opinion that Kadima did not provide any such motivation to reduce the weight ratio
`
`based on the cost of albumin.
`
`9.
`
`Petitioner argues that “[a]s Kadima explains, ‘[a]lbumin is a cost-limiting
`
`component for use in drug stabilization,’ because ‘[a]lbumin is an expensive
`
`ingredient.’” (’229 Pet. 50; ’788 Pet. 48; ’536 Pet. 49.) Petitioner relies on
`
`Kadima’s table, reproduced as Table 1 below, to provide “examples of cost
`
`differences for various ratios of albumin to paclitaxel—ranging from to $10.70 for
`
`
`1’229 Pet. refers to Cipla’s Petition for Inter Partes Review in IPR2018-

`a 0.5:1 ratio to $81:90 for a 10:1 ratio” and that “[b]ased on these significant
`
`differences, a skilled artisan would have been motivated to reduce Capxol™’s
`
`albumin-paclitaxel ratio in order to reduce the cost of producing the formulation.”

`
`I understand that, as Patent Owner pointed out in its Preliminary Response in
`
`the Actavis IPRs, and the Board agreed, Kadima does not report weight ratios, only
`
`molar ratios. (IPR2017-01101, paper 7 at 32; IPR2017-01103, paper 7 at 31;
`
`IPR2017-01104, paper 7 at 32.) I further understand that a paclitaxel-to-albumin
`
`molar ratio of 1:10 converts to an albumin-to-paclitaxel weight ratio of 790:1, and
`
`the lowest reported molar ratio of 1:0.5 corresponds to a weight ratio of 39:1.
`
`(IPR2017-01101, paper 7 at 26; IPR2017-01103, paper 7 at 26; IPR2017-01104,
`
`paper 7 at 26.)

`

`

`paclitaxel as of 1999, as reported in Kadima, the cost of albumin was already about
`
`half the cost of paclitaxel at the lowest weight ratio reported by Kadima (i.e., 39:1).
`
`In my opinion, from an economic standpoint, the reduction in the cost of albumin
`
`when going from a formulation with a weight ratio of 13.3:1 to a formulation with
`
`a weight ratio of 9:1 is negligible and would not have been a motivating factor to
`
`reduce the amount of albumin in the formulation. As shown in Table 2 below, the
`
`absolute cost and the percent total cost of albumin becomes increasingly
`
`inconsequential as the weight ratio of albumin to paclitaxel decreases. The
`
`percentage point change of the total cost of ingredients when reducing the weight
`
`ratio from 13.33:1 to 9:1 (i.e., 4%) is negligible.

`
`12. Thus, in my opinion, based on the data set forth above, at the relevant weight
`
`ratios (i.e., 13.3:1 and 9:1), Petitioner’s argument that “‘[a]lbumin is a cost-
`
`limiting component for use in drug stabilization,’ because ‘[a]lbumin is an
`
`expensive ingredient’” (’229 Pet. 50; ’788 Pet. 48; ’536 Pet. 49) is economically
`
`irrelevant. Even the Board recognized that as the amount of albumin is reduced to
`
`9:1, the absolute cost of paclitaxel ($7) is far greater than the cost of albumin
`
`($1.28). Thus, in my opinion, at the relevant weight ratios, albumin was not “a

`
`

`

`cost-limiting component” that would have provided motivation to reduce the
`
`amount of albumin used in the formulation.
`
`13.
`
`I also disagree with the Board’s finding in the Actavis IPRs that Table 1
`
`above supports Petitioner’s position “because continued reductions in the albumin
`
`amounts provide continued [greater] savings in pharmaceutical costs.” (IPR2017-
`
`00101, paper 7 at 32; IPR2017-00103, paper 7 at 32; IPR2017-00104, paper 7 at
`
`32. As shown in Table 2, the small savings achieved when going from
`
`formulations with a weight ratio of 39:1 to 13.3:1, and then further down to 9:1,
`
`would not have been a real-world motivating factor to reduce the amount of
`
`albumin. Indeed, the difference between the cost of albumin at a weight ratio of
`
`13.3:1 (approximately $1.28) and 9:1 (approximately $0.86) was only about 40
`
`cents per vial.
`
`14. To provide further economic context, I note that it is notoriously expensive
`
`to successfully research and develop, conduct clinical trials, and obtain regulatory
`
`approval to market cancer drugs. Several studies establish the high costs
`
`associated with developing and gaining regulatory approval for a drug. See, e.g.,
`
`EX2071 and EX2072. Other studies note that drugs used to treat cancer have the
`
`lowest likelihood of approval among major disease areas, leading to greater
`
`expected costs of successfully developing and obtaining approval for cancer drugs
`
`in particular. See, e.g., EX2073 and EX2074.
`
`
`
`
`-7-

`
`

`

`15. These costs are typically recovered, and further research and development is
`
`funded, in part, through pricing. Based on publically available information, the
`
`expected profit margin on branded cancer drugs is typically upwards of 90%. To
`
`put that into context, the cost to patients for Abraxane® is more than $1000 per
`
`injection. (EX2075.) A 40 cent savings per vial would be approximately 0.04% of
`
`the total cost to the consumer for one vial. That would not have been a real-world
`
`motivation for formulators to reduce the amount of albumin in the formulation. A
`
`POSA would rather sell the Capxol formulation for $0.40 more per vial, since that
`
`amount would be swallowed by the expected profit margin, than risk reformulating
`
`and ending up with a formulation that did not work at all. Saving $0.40/vial (or
`
`less than 1% of the expected price) is useless if the product is never sold.
`
`16. The cost of research and development is one of the key driving factors in
`
`determining whether to develop a new drug or variation of an existing formulation.
`
`In the United States, only about five in 5,000 drugs that enter preclinical testing
`
`progress to human testing. And only one of these five drugs that make it through
`
`clinical trials is approved. (EX2076; see also, EX2077.)
`
`17. For drugs that enter Phase I clinical testing, only about 8% to 20% are
`
`ultimately approved by the FDA, and oncology drugs face even longer odds. See,
`
`e.g., EX2078; EX2079, at 42, 48; EX2080, at 115; EX2081; EX2082; EX2083;
`
`EX2084; EX2085; EX2086, at 117.)
