`09:08:55
`
`13
`
` Q. Good morning, Dr. Heikinheimo.
`
`09:08:58
`
`14
`
` A. Good morning.
`
`09:08:58
`
`15
`
` Q. Have you been deposed before?
`
`09:09:01
`
`16
`
` A. Have I been to --
`
`09:09:03
`
`17
`
` Q. Have you been deposed before?
`
`09:09:04
`
`18
`
` A. No.
`
`09:09:05
`
`19
`
` Q. Okay. So you understand that you are under
`
`09:09:07
`
`20
`
` oath today?
`
`09:09:08
`
`21
`
` A. Of course.
`
`09:09:08
`
`22
`
` Q. And -- and there's no reason that you can't
`
`09:09:12
`
`23
`
` testify truthfully, correct?
`
`09:09:14
`
`24
`
` A. No reason.
`
`09:09:15
`
`25
`
` Q. Okay. You're not taking any medication or

`
` anything that would affect your ability to testify
`
`Page 8
`
` truthfully, correct?
`
` A. No.
`
` Q. All right.
`
` And you understand that we are on an oral
`
` record here. We have a court reporter writing down
`
` everything we say. So it's important that we get
`
` our answers out orally and not just nod or say
`
`09:09:32
`
`10
`
` uh-huh, things like that. Can you do that?
`
`09:09:34
`
`11
`
` A. I understand that.
`
`09:09:36
`
`12
`
` Q. Excellent.
`
`09:09:37
`
`13
`
` Also, I'll be asking a number of questions.
`
`09:09:39
`
`14
`
` If at any time you don't understand my question,
`
`09:09:41
`
`15
`
` please ask me to clarify it. If you don't ask me to
`
`09:09:44
`
`16
`
` clarify it, I'll have to assume that you have
`
`09:09:47
`
`17
`
` understood it. Is that fair?
`
`09:09:49
`
`18
`
` A. I understand that.
`
`09:09:50
`
`19
`
` Q. And I'm happy to accommodate any breaks
`
`09:09:51
`
`20
`
` that you need. Just let me know. I would ask that
`
`09:09:53
`
`21
`
` you finish the answering -- if I have a pending
`
`09:09:56
`
`22
`
` question, answer that, but just let me know if you
`
`09:09:59
`
`23
`
` need a break at any time. All right?
`
`09:10:00
`
`24
`
` A. That's fine.
`
`09:10:01
`
`25
`
` Q. And then the other thing that -- that your

`
` you're not allowed to discuss your testimony with
`
` counsel during the breaks. Do you understand that?
`
`A. Okay.
`
`Q. All right. Let's look at Exhibit 1005.
`
`A. Thank you.
`
`Let me show you, Doctor, what's been
`
` already marked in this case as Exhibit 1005.
`
`09:10:41
`
`10
`
`MR. MAY: Are you planning to independently
`
`09:10:42
`
`11
`
` mark that or we're just going to go with
`
`09:10:44
`
`12
`
` Exhibit 1005?
`
`09:10:46
`
`13
`
`MR. FRAZIER: I think we'll just call
`
`09:10:48
`
`14
`
` them -- if they're already marked, we'll leave them
`
`09:10:51
`
`15
`
` marked as they are. I'm sorry. Is that all right
`
`09:10:53
`
`16
`
` with you?
`
`09:10:54
`
`17
`
`MR. MAY: Okay. That's fine.

`09:11:00
`

`
` BY MR. FRAZIER:
`
`09:11:00
`
`19
`
`Q. All right. And, Doctor, is this a copy of
`
`09:11:02
`
`20
`
` your curriculum vitae?
`
`09:11:05
`
`21
`
`A. Yep. This is a copy of my curriculum vitae
`
`09:11:09
`
`22
`
` about -- a little bit more than one years old,
`
`09:11:11
`
`23
`
` but...
`
`09:11:12
`
`24
`
`Q. A little more than one year old?
`
`09:11:14
`
`25
`
`A. Yeah.

`
` Q. And is it a complete copy or just a partial
`
` copy?
`
` A. It is a -- I believe a complete copy of the
`
` CV that I've provided. It's a two-page CV.
`
` Q. It's a two-page CV. And I notice
`
` there's -- there's no list of publications on this
`
` CV?
`
` A. Not on this one.
`
`09:11:35
`
`10
`
` Q. Okay. And do you have another version of
`
`09:11:37
`
`11
`
` your CV that includes a list of publications?
`
`09:11:42
`
`12
`
` A. Surely. On my computer.
`
`09:11:43
`
`13
`
` Q. On your computer you have a list, but in
`
`09:11:47
`
`14
`
` terms of the general CV that you use, do you
`
`09:11:50
`
`15
`
` typically have a list of publications on the CV?
`
`09:11:55
`
`16
`
` A. That depends on the purpose.
`
`09:11:56
`
`17
`
` Q. Okay. And was there a reason that you
`
`09:11:59
`
`18
`
` didn't include the publications on the CV that you
`
`09:12:01
`
`19
`
` used in connection with your declaration in this
`
`09:12:04
`
`20
`
` case?
`
`09:12:06
`
`21
`
` A. Some people like short versions of CV
`
`09:12:09
`
`22
`
` rather than tens of pages. So I didn't come to
`
`09:12:13
`
`23
`
` think of it.
`
`09:12:14
`
`24
`
` Q. So you just didn't think of using the
`
`09:12:17
`
`25
`
` version that had your publications on it?

`
` you acted as an expert witness?
`

`
`09:12:49
`

`

`
`22
`
` Q. Actually, just for my information, is
`
`09:13:22
`
`23
`

`
`Q. And -- and I should just comment, so we're
`
` speaking in English today and you're comfortable
`
` speaking in the English language for this
`
` deposition?
`
`A. Yes. And I shall ask if I don't
`
` understand.
`
`Q. Excellent. Thank you.
`
`Okay. So could you just help me understand
`
`09:13:59
`
`12
`
` your medical training here. When did you begin what
`
`09:14:04
`
`13
`
` would be essentially a medical school type of
`
`09:14:09
`
`14
`
` training?
`
`09:14:09
`
`15
`
`A. That was '83.
`
`09:14:10
`
`16
`
`Q. In 1983?
`
`09:14:11
`
`17
`
`A. 1983.
`
`09:14:12
`
`18
`
`Q. All right. And -- and then it says you
`
`09:14:14
`
`19
`
` became a medical doctor in 1989; is that correct?
`
`09:14:18
`
`20
`
`A. Yes. In Finland medical school lasts for
`
`09:14:23
`
`21
`
` six years if you don't take any pauses in between.
`
`09:14:27
`
`22
`
`Q. And is medical school in Finland
`
`09:14:31
`
`23
`
` essentially sort of a combination of an
`
`09:14:33
`
`24
`
` undergraduate general education and then medical
`
`09:14:35
`
`25
`
` training on top of that?

`
` A. They are sort of combined from the very --
`
`Page 13
`
` very beginning.
`
` Q. Right.
`
` And then after your medical school training
`
` you specialized in surgery; is that correct?
`
` A. No. In obstetrics and gynecology.
`
` Q. Okay. It says "Doctor of Medicine in
`
` surgery in 1990." What is that?
`
`09:14:59
`
`10
`
` A. That's a Finnish -- Finnish academical
`
`09:15:02
`
`11
`
` degree that one can be awarded after having
`
`09:15:08
`
`12
`
` presented Ph.D. work.
`
`09:15:10
`
`13
`
` Q. I see. And so was there a particular
`
`09:15:16
`
`14
`
` specialization for your Doctor of Medicine degree?
`
`09:15:21
`
`15
`
` A. So I did my thesis work on the
`
`09:15:26
`
`16
`
` pharmacokinetics of mifepristone which was presented
`
`09:15:29
`
`17
`
` some 30 years ago.
`
`09:15:38
`
`18
`
` Q. And as part of your thesis work, then, did
`
`09:15:45
`
`19
`
` you have specialized training in pharmacokinetics?
`
`09:15:47
`
`20
`
` A. Yes, and, of course, through the research
`
`09:15:50
`
`21
`
` work.
`
`09:15:51
`
`22
`
` Q. What specialized training in
`
`09:15:52
`
`23
`
` pharmacokinetics did you have?
`
`09:15:55
`
`24
`
` A. Courses -- several courses, conference
`
`09:16:04
`
`25
`
` attendances, those kinds of things.

`
`THE REPORTER: I'm sorry. I didn't
`
` understand.
`
`THE WITNESS: Attending various scientific
`
` meetings.
`
` BY MR. FRAZIER:
`
`Q. And what led you to study mifepristone for
`
` your thesis?
`
`A. I was offered a possibility of doing
`
`09:16:24
`
`10
`
` research in a group specializing in female
`
`09:16:28
`
`11
`
` healthcare, contraception, family planning, and
`
`09:16:31
`
`12
`
` mifepristone had just been introduced as a new
`
`09:16:34
`
`13
`
` molecule at the time and that was something that the
`
`09:16:42
`
`14
`
` laboratory was working with and I got this project.
`
`09:16:47
`
`15
`
`Q. And was there a particular clinical
`
`09:16:50
`
`16
`
` application of mifepristone that you were interested
`
`09:16:52
`
`17
`
` in in 1990?
`
`09:16:53
`
`18
`
`A. 1990.
`
`09:16:55
`
`19
`
`Q. Or before.
`
`09:17:01
`
`20
`
`A. At that time mifepristone was not on the --
`
`09:17:04
`
`21
`
` on the Finnish market or actually was only in the
`
`09:17:07
`
`22
`
` French market. So my thesis work was more
`
`09:17:10
`
`23
`
` theoretical. Of course, it had some sort of
`
`09:17:14
`
`24
`
` clinical applications which were -- were discussed
`
`09:17:19
`
`25
`
` in the scientific papers.

`
`MIKKO OSKARI HEIKINHEIMO, Ph.D.
`
`Q. And in considering the pharmacokinetics of
`
` mifepristone that you were studying as part of your
`
` thesis, were you primarily focused on its
`
` antiprogesterone characteristics?
`
`A. So my work was -- was on establishing assay
`
` methods, looking at -- analyzing the serum levels,
`
` looking at the metabolism of -- of mifepristone
`
` following single dose and multiple dose
`
`09:18:00
`
`10
`
` administrations.
`
`09:18:04
`
`11
`
`Q. And after your thesis on your CV it
`
`09:18:09
`
`12
`
` indicates that you did a postdoctoral fellowship?
`
`09:18:13
`
`13
`
`A. Yes.
`
`09:18:14
`
`14
`
`Q. And what was the subject matter of your
`
`09:18:16
`
`15
`
` postdoctoral fellowship?
`
`09:18:17
`
`16
`
`A. I had two separate study subjects. I was
`
`09:18:21
`
`17
`
` looking at the effects of antiprogestins in the
`
`09:18:27
`
`18
`
` Eastern Virginia Medical School using a primate
`
`09:18:30
`
`19
`
` model which was very well established there at the
`
`09:18:33
`
`20
`
` time. I also did some gene expression studies.
`
`09:18:38
`
`21
`
`Q. And what antiprogestins were you looking at
`
`09:18:42
`
`22
`
` as part of your postdoctoral studies?
`
`09:18:47
`
`23
`
`A. Mifepristone.
`
`09:18:50
`
`24
`
`Q. Any others besides mifepristone?
`
`09:18:52
`
`25
`
`A. No.

`
` Q. Then it says in 1996 -- or from 1996 to
`
` 2007 you held a position at the University of
`
`Page 16
`
` Helsinki, correct?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And the position was called docent?
`
` A. Yes. That's a typical Nordic and German
`
` academical degree. It's like a senior lecturer.
`
` Q. And you indicate there that that was in
`
`09:19:24
`
`10
`
` endocrinology?
`
`09:19:24
`
`11
`

`09:19:28
`
`13
`
` endocrinology as -- as part of that position?
`
`09:19:32
`
`14
`
` A. As theoretical endocrinology. At the same
`
`09:19:36
`
`15
`
` time I was doing the residency in obstetrics and
`
`09:19:42
`
`16
`
` gynecology.
`
`09:19:42
`
`17
`
` Q. And were you doing research during that
`
`09:19:44
`
`18
`
` time period when you were a docent?
`
`09:19:48
`
`19
`
` A. Yes.
`
`09:19:48
`
`20
`
` Q. And what was the subject area of your
`
`09:19:50
`
`21
`
` research?
`
`09:19:55
`
`22
`
` A. During those years family planning,
`
`09:19:58
`
`23
`
` abortion care, long-term reversible contraception.
`
`09:20:05
`
`24
`
` Q. Were you still studying mifepristone at
`
`09:20:08
`
`25
`
` that point?

`

`
` Q. Did there come a time when you stopped
`
` studying mifepristone?
`
` A. There really hasn't come a time.
`
` Q. So you've continued to study mifepristone
`
` continuously from the late 1980s until today; is
`
` that fair?
`
` A. Yes, further developing the clinical
`
`09:20:33
`
`10
`
` applications, medical abortion care, special
`
`09:20:39
`
`11
`
` endocrine effects.
`
`09:20:40
`
`12
`
` Q. And the endocrine effects you said?
`
`09:20:42
`
`13
`
` A. Uh-huh.
`
`09:20:48
`
`14
`
` Q. And have you done any study of the
`
`09:20:51
`
`15
`
` psychological effects of mifepristone?
`
`09:20:55
`
`16
`
` A. Not directly, no. We have looked at the
`
`09:20:58
`
`17
`
` psychological effects of medical abortion, but --
`
`09:21:05
`
`18
`
` but in that way.
`
`09:21:10
`
`19
`
` Q. Have you studied the use of mifepristone
`
`09:21:13
`
`20

`09:21:15
`
`21
`

`
` on university pedagogy. What is that referring to?
`
`09:21:37
`
`24
`
` A. Yeah. That's something which is needed

`
` position -- positions, like a professorship, you
`
` need to show that you have done studies on pedagogy.
`
` Q. And what -- what is involved then in the
`
` course on pedagogy?
`
` A. It was something that one would do along
`
` with their regular work, different teaching methods,
`
` for example.
`
` MR. MAY: Don't you wish we'd had that.
`
`09:22:16
`

`
` BY MR. FRAZIER:
`
`09:22:16
`
`11
`
` Q. And was there -- was there classwork
`
`09:22:18
`
`12
`
` involved in that?
`
`09:22:20
`
`13
`
` A. Yes.
`
`09:22:20
`
`14
`
` Q. And what kinds of classes were you taking?
`
`09:22:27
`
`15
`
` A. It was a group of about -- of about 20 --
`
`09:22:29
`
`16
`
` 20 people, you know, being at the sort of senior
`
`09:22:34
`
`17
`
` lecture level teachers. It was fairly new when I
`
`09:22:37
`
`18
`
` did -- when I did that course in 2004. Now it's
`
`09:22:42
`
`19
`
` commonly required.
`
`09:22:50
`
`20
`
` Q. So essentially the coursework was in
`
`09:22:52
`
`21
`
` training you had to be a better instructor; is that
`
`09:22:55
`
`22
`
` the idea?
`
`09:22:56
`
`23
`
` A. Yes.
`
`09:22:56
`
`24
`
` Q. Understood.
`
`09:22:59
`
`25
`
` Then -- then it says from 2007 you were a

`
` docent in obstetrics and gynecology, correct?
`
` A. Yes. Or starting from 2007.
`
` Q. And was there coursework in connection with
`
` that position?
`
` A. No. No.
`
` Q. Was there practical training associated
`
` with that?
`
` A. You can become a docent in a clinical
`
`09:23:22
`
`10
`
` specialty, for example, in obstetrics and gynecology
`
`09:23:24
`
`11
`
` once you have been a specialist for two years and
`
`09:23:27
`
`12
`
` once you have sort of shown significant scientific
`
`09:23:31
`
`13
`
` merits and it's been evaluated by external
`
`09:23:35
`
`14
`
` evaluators.
`
`09:23:39
`
`15
`
` Q. And then in 2009, 2010 it says you were
`
`09:23:44
`
`16
`
` qualified in medical administration by the Finnish
`
`09:23:48
`
`17
`
` Medical Society; is that correct?
`
`09:23:49
`
`18
`
` A. Yes.
`
`09:23:49
`
`19
`
` Q. And what is that?
`
`09:23:51
`
`20
`
` A. Similarly, a course lasting for about a
`
`09:23:55
`
`21
`
` year that you take along your work, maybe two days
`
`09:23:59
`
`22
`
` per month studying medical administration.
`
`09:24:05
`
`23
`
` Q. And by "medical administration" do you mean
`
`09:24:08
`
`24
`
` things like running an office or a hospital?
`
`09:24:10
`
`25
`
` A. Hospital, yeah.

`

`
` Q. A hospital.
`
` And then in 2007 you had training in good
`
`Page 20
`
` clinical practices?
`
` A. Yes.
`
` Q. And that's generalized clinical training;
`
` is that fair?
`
` A. Yes. And it's also an official training
`
` needed, you know, to run a clinical -- clinical
`
`09:24:38
`
`10
`
` trials.
`
`09:24:39
`
`11
`
` Q. To run clinical trials, right?
`
`09:24:43
`
`12
`
` A. Uh-huh.
`
`09:24:43
`
`13
`
` Q. So what training did you receive in running
`
`09:24:45
`
`14
`
` clinical trials?
`
`09:24:47
`
`15
`
` A. Coursework, some reading material, and so
`
`09:24:51
`
`16
`
` forth.
`
`09:24:57
`
`17
`
` Q. Any instruction in statistical methods?
`
`09:25:01
`
`18
`
` A. Yes. Yeah.
`
`09:25:05
`
`19
`
` Q. What training did you have in mental
`
`09:25:09
`
`20
`
` health?
`
`09:25:11
`
`21
`
` A. In mental health?
`
`09:25:13
`
`22
`
` Q. Yes.
`
`09:25:14
`
`23
`
` A. Obviously during my medical student there
`
`09:25:17
`
`24
`
` was a fair -- a month of psychiatry, but I'm not a
`
`09:25:21
`
`25
`
` psychiatrist by training.

`

`
` MIKKO OSKARI HEIKINHEIMO, Ph.D.
`
` Q. So you had exposure to psychiatry as part
`
` of your medical school training?
`
` A. As part of my medical school training.
`
` Q. Any -- any further training after medical
`
` school in mental health or mental healthcare?
`
` A. In our system all specialists need to do
`
` general practice for about one year, and obviously
`
` there you run into some hands-on situations.
`
`09:25:48
`
`10
`
` Q. Did you have a specific rotation or
`
`09:25:51
`
`11
`
` training period in mental health care, psychiatry as
`
`09:25:56
`
`12
`
` part of your general medical training?
`
`09:25:57
`
`13
`
` A. No.
`
`09:25:58
`
`14
`
` Q. So you're saying that as part of the
`
`09:26:00
`
`15
`
` general medical training there were just patients
`
`09:26:03
`
`16
`
` who came in who had medical -- mental health issues
`
`09:26:08
`
`17
`
` that you would have to deal with as part or your
`
`09:26:11
`
`18
`
` general practice?
`
`09:26:12
`
`19
`
` A. Yes.
`
`09:26:12
`
`20
`
` Q. And would you typically refer such patients
`
`09:26:14
`
`21
`
` to a mental healthcare specialist or clinic?
`
`09:26:21
`
`22
`
` A. That, of course, depends on the severity of
`
`09:26:24
`
`23
`
` a case.
`
`09:26:24
`
`24
`
` Q. So the more severe patients would be
`
`09:26:26
`
`25
`
` referred, the less severe --

`
` MIKKO OSKARI HEIKINHEIMO, Ph.D.
`
` A. Yeah, would be treated in the primary
`
` healthcare.
`
` Q. What is your relationship to Neptune
`
` Generics, the party in this case?
`
` A. The name has become familiar on this -- on
`
` these documents that I've seen. No other
`
` relationship.
`
` Q. And when did you first come into contact
`
`09:27:05
`
`10
`
` with representatives of Neptune?
`
`09:27:10
`
`11
`
` A. Ken Goldman contacted me in early 2018.
`
`09:27:18
`
`12
`
` Q. And had you had any other contacts with
`
`09:27:21
`
`13
`
` representatives of Neptune before early 2018?
`
`09:27:24
`
`14
`
` A. No.
`
`09:27:28
`
`15
`
` Q. And you're being compensated for the
`
`09:27:31
`
`16
`
` services you're providing in connection with this
`
`09:27:33
`
`17
`
` case, correct?
`
`09:27:34
`
`18
`
` A. Well, in order to come here I needed to
`
`09:27:37
`
`19
`
` take time off from work. I'm hoping to be
`
`09:27:41
`
`20
`
` compensated for -- for that certainly.
`
`09:27:44
`
`21
`
` Q. You're being reimbursed for your travel,
`
`09:27:46
`
`22
`
` you're saying?
`
`09:27:47
`
`23
`
` A. Plus the time -- you know, I took unpaid
`
`09:27:50
`
`24
`
` leave from work. So I'm hoping not to make
`
`09:27:57
`
`25
`
` financial loss because of this.

`
`Page 23
`
` consulting fee for your services?
`
` A. I believe so, yes.
`
` Q. And how much is that hourly fee?
`
` A. In the contract that we signed previously
`
` it was 400 euros per hour.
`
` Q. 400 euros per hour?
`
` A. If I recall right, yeah, 400 euros or
`
`09:28:21
`
`10
`
` dollars, yeah. I would have to check that.
`
`09:28:28
`
