` Q. Thank you for coming to the deposition today, 09:33:33
`Dr. Jusko. I will be asking you some questions. 09:33:35
` You realize that there are two IPRs that we 09:33:39
`are having depositions for today. Correct? 09:33:42
` A. Yes. 09:33:46
` Q. And they involve two patents? 09:33:46
` A. Yes. 09:33:48
` Q. Okay. And we are going to be referring 09:33:49
`mostly to U.S. Patent 8846100, but please have your 09:33:51
`answers to any of my questions address the additional 09:33:56
`patent in these IPRs. Okay? 09:34:00
` A. As best I can. 09:34:03
` Q. Okay. Could you give us your name, address 09:34:04
`and occupation? 09:34:07
` A. William Joseph Jusko. I am at the University 09:34:08
`of Buffalo, professor of pharmaceutical sciences. 09:34:14
` Q. Okay. And you submitted a declaration in 09:34:20
`each of these IPRs. Correct? 09:34:21
` A. Yes. 09:34:24
` Q. And is everything in your declarations 09:34:25
`correct? 09:34:28
` A. Yes. 09:34:29
` Q. Is there a goal of drug delivery? 09:34:33
` A. I have two hearing aids, and sometimes I have 09:34:38
`difficulty hearing. So if you don't mind speaking a 09:34:42

`little bit louder. 09:34:45
` Q. Of course. Usually I am told I speak too 09:34:47
`loud and too fast. 09:34:50
` Is there a goal of drug delivery? 09:34:52
` A. Is there a goal of drug delivery? 09:34:54
` Q. Yes. 09:34:57
` A. Well, drugs need to enter the body, so, yes, 09:34:58
`they need to be delivered. 09:35:02
` Q. Okay. Is there a goal for oral drug 09:35:04
`delivery? 09:35:08
` A. Yes, there is. 09:35:10
` Q. And what would that goal be? 09:35:11
` A. It would depend on the therapeutic purpose of 09:35:17
`the drug being administered. Sometimes it is just 09:35:20
`fluoride for the teeth. Sometimes it is more 09:35:24
`complicated. 09:35:29
` Q. Are there any steps that an oral dosage form 09:35:29
`must go through to reach the goal of oral drug 09:35:34
`delivery? 09:35:38
` A. Steps in manufacture or steps in biologic -- 09:35:40
` Q. Steps upon administration. 09:35:44
` A. Okay. Once more. 09:35:47
` Q. Steps upon administration. 09:35:48
` A. Yes. 09:35:56

` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:35:59
` THE WITNESS: Okay. The patient must be able 09:36:04
`to open the container that has the drug. There will 09:36:06
`be instructions on how to take the drug. So the 09:36:15
`patient must follow those instructions. The drug may 09:36:17
`be intended for administration like under the tongue, 09:36:24
`sublingual or buccal, where there would be 09:36:29
`instructions how to do that. Many drugs are 09:36:35
`swallowed. They are intended to act either in the GI 09:36:39
`tract or act systemically. So the drug product after 09:36:46
`being swallowed moves down the GI tract. It has to be 09:36:54
`released from the dosage form. It has to reach the 09:36:58
`membranes where it is absorbed. And then it gets into 09:37:03
`the body. 09:37:07
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:37:12
` Q. Have you ever done any work with amphetamines 09:37:12
`other than these IPRs? 09:37:14
` A. I have some teaching material with 09:37:18
`amphetamines, yes. 09:37:23
` Q. What teaching materials do you have with 09:37:24
`amphetamines? 09:37:27
` A. I teach in the general area of 09:37:30
`pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. And sometimes 09:37:35
`I may use drugs like amphetamines as examples for 09:37:37
`particular circumstances. 09:37:42

` Q. How would you use amphetamines for an example 09:37:43
`of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics? 09:37:46
` A. Amphetamines are weak basis. Sometimes we 09:37:55
`talk about differences in absorption, differences in 09:37:59
`properties of small drug molecules that are acids 09:38:03
`bases or neutral molecules. Sometimes we look at 09:38:09
`measurements of serum or plasma concentrations and 09:38:18
`talk about how to do calculations in using those kinds 09:38:26
`of measurements. Sometimes we connect those 09:38:29
`measurements to the actions of drugs and develop 09:38:32
`quantitative methods or mathematical models or 09:38:37
`computer methods to display the essential properties 09:38:41
`of -- of those kinds of drugs. 09:38:48
` Q. And have you -- in your teaching materials, 09:38:49
`have you talked about the properties of amphetamines 09:38:53
`in particular? 09:38:57
` A. I probably have, yes. 09:38:58
` Q. What did you say about the properties of 09:39:00
`amphetamines? 09:39:02
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:39:03
` THE WITNESS: Let me think. Again, I 09:39:13
`probably described their pharmacokinetics and I 09:39:19
`probably described their CNS actions. 09:39:23

` Q. How did you describe their pharmacokinetics? 09:39:33
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:39:38
` THE WITNESS: Well, their pharmacokinetics 09:39:41
`are very simple. I would describe them in terms of 09:39:44
`what the volume of distribution would be, half-life 09:39:46
`clearances, the basic kinetic properties. 09:39:50
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:39:55

`materials of amphetamines? 09:39:57

`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:40:10
` Q. And what did you discuss about amphetamine 09:40:11
`pharmacodynamics in your teaching materials? 09:40:14
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:40:16
` THE WITNESS: One example is where I show the 09:40:18
`effects on blood pressure and described the 09:40:24
`relationship between plasma concentrations and changes 09:40:28
`in blood pressure. 09:40:32

` THE WITNESS: I also described their effects 09:40:40
`in a study where volunteer subjects took amphetamines 09:40:46
`and there were psychomotor tests that were 09:40:54
`administered. 09:40:58
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:41:01
` Q. What were the results of the psychomotor 09:41:02
`tests? 09:41:05
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:41:06
` THE WITNESS: There were measurements of -- 09:41:11
`let's see, the subjective feelings of the subjects and 09:41:15
`how one would characterize the time course of those 09:41:21
`subjective feelings. 09:41:24
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:41:26

`of those subjective feelings? 09:41:30
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:41:34

`subjective feelings, the effects versus concentrations 09:41:43

`relationships that resulted. 09:41:50

`hysteresis and the relationship between concentrations 09:42:04
`and effects. 09:42:08
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:42:09
` Q. And what is hysteresis? 09:42:09
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:42:11
` THE WITNESS: When we first examine 09:42:15
`pharmacologic effects, we make a plot of effect versus 09:42:18
`concentration. And if the effect does not track right 09:42:23
`alongside the concentrations, there is this phenomenon 09:42:29
`called hysteresis. 09:42:31
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:42:35

` Q. -- for amphetamines? 09:42:42
` MR. HEDEMANN: Sorry. Objection, scope. 09:42:44
` THE WITNESS: Sometimes the hysteresis goes 09:42:47
`in a certain direction, we call it clockwise. 09:42:50
`Sometimes hysteresis goes in the other direction, we 09:42:53
`call it counterclockwise. 09:42:57

`increase in blood pressure or the effects are going 09:43:13
`down like a decrease in blood pressure. 09:43:16
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:43:18
` Q. So clockwise means it is going up and 09:43:19

`there was a discordance between the time course of 09:43:47
`effect and the time course of plasma concentration. 09:43:52
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:43:57
` Q. What do you mean by discordance? 09:43:57
` A. The presence of hysteresis means a 09:43:59
`discordance between effects and concentrations. 09:44:03

`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:46:32
` Q. Why is it done? 09:46:33
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:46:34
` THE WITNESS: It is partly a quality control 09:46:40
`procedure to make sure the product is releasing the 09:46:42

`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:46:47
` Q. Are there any other reasons why in vitro 09:46:47

` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:46:56

`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:47:31
` Q. How does one establish whether or not there 09:47:42
`is an in vitro dissolution versus in vivo release of 09:47:44
`the drug correlation from a drug formulation? 09:47:54
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:47:57
` THE WITNESS: In part, it is a well-accepted 09:48:01
`expectation between in vitro dissolution and in vivo 09:48:05
`behavior, but, in part, it needs to be established by 09:48:10
`an actual study in human subjects. 09:48:17
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:48:21

`studies on a drug formulation? 09:49:18
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:49:21
` THE WITNESS: It would depend on the stage of 09:49:25
`-- of development of the therapeutic agents or the 09:49:27
`drug product. If it is an old, established drug, 09:49:31
`studies may not be done. But if it is a new drug, 09:49:35
`then it would need very careful study. 09:49:38
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:49:41
` Q. So there are no formulations of an old drug 09:49:46
`that you would conduct therapeutic efficacy studies 09:49:50
`for. Is that correct? 09:49:54
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection scope. 09:49:55
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:49:56
` Q. In other words, if one has an old drug, a 09:49:56
`drug that has been used before, and one has a new 09:49:58
`formulation, one would not conduct therapeutic 09:50:03
`efficacy studies of that formulation. Is that 09:50:05
`correct? 09:50:08
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope. 09:50:08
` THE WITNESS: If it is an old drug and it is 09:50:11
`an immediate release type of formulation, it is not 09:50:16

` Q. Why would one not do the studies? 09:50:40
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope, relevance. 09:50:43
` THE WITNESS: Well, therapeutic efficacy 09:50:48
`means one is assessing how real patients are behaving 09:50:50
`with the drug formulation. In many cases, all that is 09:50:55
`required is what is called a bioavailability or 09:50:59
`bioequivalent study to establish that the drug is 09:51:03
`absorbed and what the plasma concentrations are. 09:51:07
`BY MR. ROBINSON: 09:51:12
` Q. So one would not conduct therapeutic efficacy 09:51:12
`studies of a drug formulation unless it is required. 09:51:15
`Is that what you are saying? 09:51:19
` MR. HEDEMANN: Objection, scope, relevance. 09:51:20
` THE WITNESS: It depends on the nature of the 09:51:28
`drug and the nature of its indication. You know, 09:51:29
