`Colloquy
`
`(In open court. June 9, 2015, 9:30 a.m.)
`
`THE COURT: Good morning, everyone.
`
`ALL: Good morning, your Honor.
`
`THE COURT: You want to debate this issue that's
`
`coming up as the stage of the trial shifts to plaintiffs'
`
`side, or would you rather continue with the presentation of
`
`defendants' side of the evidence first and get to this
`
`argument in a break today?
`
`MR. O'MALLEY: Your Honor, if possible, we'd like to
`
`get some resolution on this so we can be planning our
`
`presentation for the rest of the week.
`
`THE COURT: This is one expert, maybe two, is it?
`
`MR. O'MALLEY: Two.
`
`THE COURT: On their side.
`
`MR. DITTMANN: Two.
`
`MR. O'MALLEY: Correct.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. Mr. Lombardi, when would you like
`
`to take this up?
`
`MR. LOMBARDI: Your Honor, I will defer to DRL who's
`
`going to be arguing this matter.
`
`MR. SENDER: Your Honor, it really doesn't matter
`
`because these are not experts that we are using, and it can be
`
`deferred to the end, as far as we're concerned.
`
`THE COURT: We have hours of depositions today and
`
`then the defendants rest.
`
`United States District Court
`
`Trenton, New Jersey
`
`Bonadeo - Deposition
`
`MR. SENDER: That's correct, your Honor.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. I would like to maintain my
`
`5
`
`concentration on the defendants' side of the case, and as soon
`
`as they rest, I'll take up this issue.
`
`MR. O'MALLEY: Thank you, your Honor.
`
`MR. DITTMANN: Thank you, your Honor.
`
`MR. LOMBARDI: Mr. Barker will introduce the first
`
`deposition to you, Your Honor.
`
`MR. BARKER: Good morning, your Honor.
`
`So the first deposition we're going to play today is
`
`excerpts from the deposition of Daniele Bonadeo. Dr. Bonadeo
`
`is a Helsinn employee. He's one of the inventors in all the
`
`patents-in-suit, and the excerpts will include designations
`
`from plaintiffs and defendants, and they are approximately
`
`about 40 minutes long.
`
`THE COURT: That's fine, Mr. Barker. Thank you. Let
`
`me just make a note before you start the tape.
`
`Okay. Ready.

`Yes, okay.

`
`Good afternoon.
`
`What kind of a doctor are you?
`
`I have a Ph.D. in economics.
`
`So you're not a medical doctor?
`
`No, I'm not.
`
`And you're not a patent expert?
`
`No.
`
`And you're not a formulation expert?
`
`No.
`

`What do you do as a senior manager at Cornerstone?
`
`I conduct economic analysis for complex business
`
`litigation.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`What does that typically involve?
`
`I usually analyze data, internal company documents,
`
`academic literature, devise estimation strategies as
`
`appropriate.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Have you served as a testifying expert before?
`
`No. It's my first time.
`
`Has your work as an economist been focused on any
`
`particular industry?
`
`A.
`
`Yes. My entire professional career has been focused on
`
`life sciences industry, specifically, pharmaceuticals for the
`
`most part.
`
`Q.
`
`Do you have any prior experience analyzing commercial
`
`success in Hatch-Waxman cases?
`
`A.
`
`Yes. I have done so in approximately ten other matters.
`
`MR. BLISS: Your Honor, we offer Dr. Marriott as an
`
`expert economist on the secondary consideration of commercial
`
`success.
`
`MR. SENDER: I have no objection, Your Honor.
`
`THE COURT: Thank you, counsel. So admitted.
`
`DIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`Dr. Marriott, what is your opinion on whether Aloxi® is a
`
`commercially successful product?
`
`United States District Court
`
`Trenton, New Jersey
`
`Marriott - Voir Dire
`
`151
`
`A.
`
`I'm a senior manager at Cornerstone Research, which is an
`
`economics and financial consulting company.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`How long have you been with Cornerstone?
`
`Almost ten years.
`
`What is your role in this trial?
`
`I am here to offer an opinion as to whether Aloxi® is a
`
`commercially successful product, and, also, to examine the
`
`extent of marketing expenditures for Helsinn.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`Will you be offering any opinions on the patents-in-suit?
`
`No.
`
`Dr. Marriott, can you please tell us about your
`
`educational background?
`
`A.
`
`Of course. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in
`
`mathematics from Novosibirsk State University in Russia, and
`
`then I have a Master of Arts degree in economics from Central
`
`European University in Hungary, and from there, I applied and
`
`was accepted into a Ph.D. program at Boston University. And
`
`five years later, I defended my dissertation and obtained my
`
`doctorate in economics.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Did you specialize in any particular branch of economics?
`
`Yes. My area of specialization was industrial
`
`organization. This is an area of economics that studies how
`
`economic agents -- companies in particular -- compete, how
`
`they decide which markets to enter, which products to produce,
`
`how to price them, how much to supply, and so on.

`
`Marriott - Direct
`
`153
`
`A.
`
`Based on the analysis I conducted, I conclude that Aloxi®
`
`is, in fact, a commercially successful product.
`
`Q.
`
`What indicators of commercial success did you consider in
`
`forming your opinion?
`
`A.
`
`I have looked into the sales, both levels and growth
`
`rates for Aloxi®. I have examined sales and growth relative
`
`to other drugs on the market, looked into market share, and,
`
`finally, I have looked into profitability of Aloxi® to
`
`Helsinn.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. One moment, please.
`
`Counsel, does any one of the parties have any requests
`
`that any of this information be sealed as confidential?
`
`MR. BLISS: I don't believe, so but --
`
`MR. O'MALLEY: No, Your Honor. It's our confidential
`
`information. We have no such request.
`
`THE COURT: Very well. You may proceed, counsel.
`
`BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`Dr. Marriott, in your experience, are those the
`
`indicators that economists typically consider in analyzing
`
`commercial success?
`
`A.
`
`Yes, for the most part. Profitability, sometimes it's
`
`hard to establish because not all companies have
`
`product-specific level data on that, but the other indicators
`
`are very typical.
`
`Q.
`
`And you mentioned market share and comparison to other

`
`products. How did you determine the relevant market for
`
`Aloxi®?
`
`A.
`
`So, in the Hatch-Waxman case, such as this one, the
`
`economists typically look at relevant therapeutic category as
`
`the relevant market. So this is what I've done here. I've
`
`looked to see what drugs are in the relevant therapeutic
`
`category. And to do so, I've looked at the company documents.
`
`I've looked at how the data distinguishes between the drugs.
`
`I've looked at the drug labels.
`
`Q.
`
`And what did you conclude based on your consideration of
`
`those materials?
`
`A.
`
`So, I concluded that in this case, the relevant
`
`therapeutic category was other 5-HT
`
` antagonists, and, also,
`
`3
`
`some of the documents indicated that NK-1 antagonist, Emend,
`
`can also potentially be included, so whenever I had data for
`
`Emend, I've included it in the consideration.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Emend is an NK-1 product?
`
`Yes.
`
`THE COURT: How do you spell that?
`
`THE WITNESS: E-M-E-N-D.
`
`BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Do NK-1s compete directly with 5-HT
`
`s?
`
`3
`
`So, in a sense of therapeutic -- therapeutic category,
`
`they do not compete directly because they are indicated to be
`
`used with other 5-HT
`
` drugs.

`23
`24
`25
`
`THE WITNESS: But it was not a disintegrating tablet,
`
`just a tablet, a pill.
`
`THE COURT: Um-hum.
`
`THE WITNESS: So after Zofran, after ondansetron, the
`
`next product was Kytril, generic name granisetron. That one
`
`was approved for CINV in December, '93. And it also went
`
`generic later on.
`
`And then the next product was Anzemet, generic name
`
`dolasetron, and that one was approved for CINV in September,
`
`'97.
`
`So after Aloxi®, there were also two other 5-HT
`
`3
`
`products that were approved. One was Sancuso. That was a
`
`granisetron patch. And the other one was Zuplenz, which is an
`
`ondansetron oral film.
`
`THE COURT: What is an oral film?
`
`THE WITNESS: It's --
`
`THE COURT: I've never heard of that.
`
`THE WITNESS: It's a really thin film, as far as I
`
`understand. I'm not a doctor.
`
`THE COURT: Right, right, right.
`
`THE WITNESS: And luckily, I didn't have to take it.
`
`But it's a very thin film that you put on your tongue and it
`
`dissolves, so I think there's some benefits because of that.
`
`So Sancuso was approved in September, 2008 for CINV,
`
`and Zuplenz was approved for CINV in July 2010. And then the

`23
`24
`25
`
`Q.
`
`Does your opinion depend in any way on whether NK-1
`
`antagonists are included in the relevant therapeutic category?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`No.
`
`As of the time you performed your analysis, how many
`
`5-HT
`
` and NK-1 products were on the market?
`
`3
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`I've prepared the demonstrative if that will help.
`
`Please walk us through the products on this slide.
`
`Sure.
`
`THE COURT: So you've got 5-HT
`
` antagonists and NK-1
`
`3
`
`antagonists on this slide, right?
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes. That is correct.
`
`So Aloxi®, which is the red bar, was the fourth 5-HT
`
`3
`
`on the market. It was approved for treatment of acute and
`
`delayed CINV in July, 2003.
`
`The first product on the market, the first 5-HT
`
` was
`
`3
`
`Zofran, generic name ondansetron, and that one was approved
`
`for CINV in January, '91. There was another ondansetron
`
`product that was launched later on that was Zofran orally
`
`disintegrating tablet, or Zofran ODT. So that one was
`
`approved in January '99. Both of these drugs went generic in
`
`late 2006.
`
`THE COURT: Was the original Zofran an I.V. product?
`
`THE WITNESS: They had both I.V. and oral
`
`formulations.
`
`THE COURT: Okay.

`25
`
`last bar, that's the NK-1 product, Emend. That one was
`
`approved shortly before Aloxi® in March, 2003. And it entered
`
`the market shortly thereafter.
`
`BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`How many of the 5-HT
`
` --
`
`3
`
`THE COURT: When you say "approved," you're using a
`
`term, "approved."
`
`THE WITNESS: FDA approved.
`
`THE COURT: FDA approved.
`
`THE WITNESS: Um-hum.
`
`THE COURT: Did they enter the market once they were
`
`approved, each of these ones?
`
`THE WITNESS: So all of them entered the market --
`
`well, I should say with an exception of the oral Aloxi®, all
`
`the other drugs entered the market upon being FDA approved,
`
`but sometimes there was a lag, maybe a couple of months.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. So your slide here is just showing
`
`us the date of the FDA approval?
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`THE COURT: Thank you, Doctor.
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`How many of the 5-HT
`
` products were approved to treat
`
`3
`
`delayed CINV?
`
`A.
`
`So Aloxi® is the only 5-HT
`
` product that's approved
`
`3
`
`United States District Court
`
`Trenton, New Jersey

`
`delayed CINV. All of the other 5-HT
`
` products are approved to
`
`3
`
`treat acute CINV only.
`
`Q.
`
`So getting back to the indicators you considered, what
`
`did you find with regard to the level and growth of Aloxi®
`
`dollar sales?
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`I have prepared another demonstrative for that.
`
`What does this demonstrative show?
`
`So this demonstrative shows us annual sales of Aloxi®
`
`from 2003. That's the year when it was launched on the
`
`market, and through the first seven months of 2013.
`
`So as you can see from this demonstrative, the first
`
`full year that Aloxi® was on the market, it generated
`
`$188 million in sales, and the sales continued to grow. 2006,
`
`there were 326 million. 2009 there was 434, continued to
`
`grow. In 2011 for 478 million. 473 in 2012, and then that
`
`last bar, that's a partial year, so that's the seven months of
`
`2013 during which it generated 271 million.
`
`THE COURT: And why does your chart end with that
`
`first half of 2013?
`
`THE WITNESS: So, I filed my expert report in
`
`October, 2013. These are the data that were available at the
`
`time that I was preparing my report.
`
`BY MR. BLISS:
`
`Q.
`
`Dr. Marriott, did you consider how Aloxi®'s dollar sales
`
`compared to other products in the therapeutic category?

`
`the market in 2007, I believe it was first quarter of 2007.
`
`Q.
`
`Can you explain that last point a little more? What's
`
`the significance of generic entry?
`
`A.
`
`So, "generic" means from a pharmaceutical industry, when
`
`generic drugs enter the therapeutic category, there is a lot
`
`of pressure from the payors, from the insurance companies,
`
`from Medicare, to switch patients to cheaper drugs.
`
`So the fact that Aloxi® is able to not only maintain
`
`the high level of sales but also to grow it over time speaks
`
`to the value that patients realize from the drug.
`
`Q.
`
`Did you consider the fact that, during the time period
`
`covered by your analysis, Aloxi®'s peak annual sales were not
`
`as high as the peak annual sales for Zofran?
`
`A.
`
`Yes. It's not surprising to me really because it's a
`
`wellestablished fact in the health economics literature, and
`
`generally understood in the industry as well, that the first
`
`mover in the category has an advantage. There are papers that
`
`demonstrate that the first mover generally grows for longer
`
`period of time, achieves higher peak levels of sales and
`
`overall throughout the life cycle generates more in sales
`
`compared to later entrants.
`
`THE COURT: I notice that -- it's a little hard for
`
`me to see when the Zofran goes generic here, just because of
`
`the way the graph lines run. But does it indicate that in the
`
`first quarter of 2007 is when Zofran went generic?

`
`A.
`
`Yes. I guess one thing I wanted to mention, just to
`
`summarize this whole growth, is that throughout this whole
`
`time it generated $3.6 billion. I just thought that's an
`
`important number to underline here, and the sales --
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`Q.
`
`A.
`
`And what was the compound annual growth rate?
`
`12.2 percent.
`
`Thank you.
`
`Sorry. And, yes, I have considered how the growth and
`
`the level of sales compared to other drugs. And I have
`
`demonstratives for that, as well.
`
`Q.
`
`So let's look at your first sales comparison. What does
`
`this demonstrative show?
`
`A.
`
`So, this demonstrative shows the annual sales for Aloxi®
`
`as well as other 5-HT
`
` drugs and Emend, the NK-1 product from
`
`3
`
`2003, the year when Aloxi® was launched, through, again, the
`
`first seven months of 2013.
`
`So as you can see from this demonstrative, Aloxi®,
`
`which is the red bar here, entered the rather crowded market.
`
`There were drugs with substantial sales already on the market.
`
`But already by 2004, 2005, it has overtaken many of the
`
`previous entrants in terms of the levels of sale. Really, the
`
`only exception was Zofran, which was the first entrant on the
`
`market.
`
`And the sales of Aloxi® continued to grow over time,
`
`despite the fact that a cheaper generic ondansetron entered

`
`THE WITNESS: Yes, yes.
`
`THE COURT: Okay. And you've indicated that by
`
`saying --
`
`THE WITNESS: Actually, sorry, I take it back. I
`
`think it was the last quarter of 2006 probably because if you
`
`scroll down to the very top of that blue bar, there is this
`
`tiny little shaded area. These are the generic ondansetron
`
`sales. So I think it was approved towards the very end of the
`
`year.
`
`THE COURT: Oh, and so there would have
`
`been branded -- what do you call them, brand or prescription?
`
`THE WITNESS: Branded drug.
`
`THE COURT: Branded. They are all prescription, of
`
`course, whether they are generic or not?
`
`THE WITNESS: Right.
`
`THE COURT: But the branded sales of Zofran are
`
`accompanied by a few generic sales of the Zofran generic --
`
`THE WITNESS: Right.
`
`THE COURT: -- in that first year where the generic
`
`shows up?
`
`THE WITNESS: Yes.
`
`THE COURT: And then the next year which is 2007,
`
`there are a few branded sales, but most of the generic Zofran
`
`accounts for Zofran dollars, right?
`
`THE WITNESS: Right. Most of ondansetron in that
