`Dr. Duddy’s Contemporaneous Change of Perception
`
`Declaration of Biogen’s Expert Dr. Duddy:
`
`given the modest magnitude of the effect in the Phase II study”
`
`“My perception of BG-12 completely and unexpectedly shifted
`
`when Biogen released the results of its Phase III trials. In November
`
`2011, I reworked that same slide, moving BG-12 into the lower right-
`hand quadrant reflecting the strongest overall performance (higher
`efficacy, lower risk)
`I recall being surprised at that time at the high
`level of reduction in relapse rate and the strength of the MRI results

`
`“Both the DEFINE and CONFIRM studies show that the therapeutic
`effects on brain lesions at 480 mg/day are essentially the same as those
`seen at 720 mg/day. It is stunning and unexpected to see, in two
`large independent studies, that increasing an ineffective dose (360
`mg/day) by a small amount (120 mg/day) produces a strong
`
`therapeutic effect, and that a further, larger dose increase (to 720

`Dr. Hay’s Independent Economic Analysis
`
`Admissions of Petitioner’s Dr. Hay from His Own Publication:
`
`A:
`
`“Dimethyl fumarate dominated all other therapies over the range of
`willingness-to-pays from $0 to $180,000 per QALY [Quality Adjusted
`
`Life Year].”
`
`***
`
`Q: What does “dominated” mean in that sentence?
`
`A:
`
`It means it has better outcomes. So—
`_ based on the
`information we had, which is all public. We didn’t have any private
`information. So it has better outcomes and lower cost, and for a health
`
`economist that’s ideal. You don’t have to struggle with a decision to
`adopt a drug that reduces your cost and produces better outcomes for
`your patients.— You do them-

`outliers having between 20-70 baseline Gd+ lesions in the 360 mg/day

`
`"Despite experts' demand for agents that are more efficacious at
`
`delaying disease progression, the majority of MS agents that we expect
`to launch during [our] study period have yet to demonstrate significant
`improvement in efficacy over most current therapies. As a result, most

`Psoriasis vs. Multiple Sclerosis
`
`Declaration of Biogen’s Expert Dr. Wynn:
`
`“Second, MS and psoriasis are very different diseases. Psoriasis
`
`manifests itself in the skin and can be treated intermittently. As a result,
`
`the dose for psoriasis can easily be titrated based on an observed
`improvement in skin lesions. In contrast, MS is largely a clinically
`silent disease, and once there are clinical manifestations, damage
`has already been done. Given the course of MS and the grave
`consequence of undertreatment, the dose for disease modifying
`therapies cannot be titrated to effect such as in blood pressure or
`psoriasis, and such therapies are not given intermittently. Moreover, a
`person of ordinary skill in the art would not have thought that a
`
`dose of one active ingredient to treat psoriasis would necessarily be
`
`effective given the different pathophysiologies.”
