VOLUME 130 Complaint COMPLAINT The Federal Trade Commission (ACommission@), having reason to believe that Respondent Pfizer Inc.

AAricept@ means any pharmaceutical preparation containing the drug substance donepezil hydrochloride. II. RESPONDENTS 15. Respondent Pfizer is a corporation organized, existing and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Delaware, with its office and principal place of business located at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017. Pfizer, among other things, is engaged in the research, development, VOLUME 130 Complaint manufacturing and sale of human pharmaceutical products, including OTC pediculicides, SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression, drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease, and EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. 16. Respondent Warner is a corporation organized, existing and doing business under and by virtue of the laws of the state of Delaware, with its office and principal place of business located at 201 Tabor Road, Morris Plains, New Jersey 07950. Warner, among other things, is engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and sale of human pharmaceutical products, including OTC pediculicides, SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression, drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease, and EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. 17. Respondents are, and at all times relevant herein have been, engaged in commerce, as Acommerce@ is defined in Section 1 of the Clayton Act as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 12, and are corporations whose business is in, or affects commerce, as Acommerce@ is defined in Section 4 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 44. III. THE PROPOSED MERGER 18. On February 6, 2000, Pfizer and Warner entered into a Merger Agreement whereby Pfizer agreed to acquire, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seminole Acquisition Sub Corp., 100 percent of all issued shares of Warner for approximately $90 billion (AMerger@). Upon completion of the transaction the merged entity will be known as Pfizer.

IV. THE RELEVANT MARKETS 19. For the purposes of this Complaint, the relevant lines of commerce in which to analyze the effects of the Merger are: a. the research, development, manufacture and sale of OTC pediculicides;

PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 97 Complaint b. the research, development, manufacture and sale of SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression; c. the research, development, manufacture and sale of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease; and d. the research, development, manufacture and sale of EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. 20. For the purposes of this Complaint, the United States is the relevant geographic area in which to analyze the effects of the Merger in the relevant lines of commerce. V. THE STRUCTURE OF THE MARKETS 21. The market for OTC pediculicides is highly concentrated as measured by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (AHHI@). Pfizer and Warner are the two leading suppliers of OTC pediculicides in the United States. Pfizer and Warner each have approximately 30 percent of the market, and the pre-merger HHI is 2223. As a result of the Merger, Pfizer would have a 60 percent share of the market, and the post-merger HHI would be 4024. 22. The market for SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression is concentrated as measured by the HHI. Pfizer=s Zoloft has 23 percent of the market, while Celexa, which Warner co-promotes with Forest, has a 10 percent market share, and the pre-merger HHI is 1834. As a result of the Merger, Pfizer/Forest would have a 33 percent share of the market, and the post-merger HHI would be 2294.

23. The market for drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease is highly concentrated as measured by the HHI. Pfizer=s Aricept has over 98 percent of the market, while Warner=s Cognex has about one percent market share, and the pre-merger VOLUME 130 Complaint HHI is 9801. As a result of the Merger, Pfizer would obtain a monopoly position and post-merger HHI would be 10,000. 24. In the market for EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, the FDA has yet to approve any product. If approved by the FDA, these products would offer a significant improvement in the treatment of solid tumor cancers. The market for the research, development, manufacture and sale of EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer is highly concentrated; currently only four companies, including Pfizer and Warner, have EGFr-tk inhibitors in human clinical testing. The proposed Merger would reduce the number of companies to three.

VI. ENTRY CONDITIONS 25. Entry into the market for OTC pediculicides is unlikely and would not occur in a timely manner to deter or counteract the adverse competitive effects described in Paragraph 29, because, among other things, the time and expense necessary to develop a product capable of successful entry are disproportionate to the likely available sales opportunity.

26. Entry into the market for SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression will not occur in a timely manner to deter or counteract the adverse competitive effects described in Paragraph 29, because of, among other things, the time and expense necessary to develop an FDA-approved antidepressant. 27. Entry into the market for drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease will not occur in a timely manner to deter or counteract the adverse competitive effects described in Paragraph 29, because of, among other things, the time and expense necessary to develop an FDA-approved Alzheimer=s disease treatment.

28. Entry into the market for the research, development, manufacture and sale of EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer will not occur in a timely manner to deter or counteract the PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 99 Complaint adverse competitive effects described in Paragraph 29, because of, among other things, the time and expense necessary to develop an FDA-approved cancer treatment.

VOLUME 130 Complaint VII. EFFECTS OF THE MERGER 29. The effects of the Merger, if consummated, may be substantially to lessen competition and to tend to create a monopoly in the relevant markets in violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 45, in the following ways, among others:

a. by increasing the ability of the merged entity to unilaterally increase prices, and reduce innovation and promotional activities, in the market for OTC pediculicides;

b. by increasing the likelihood of coordinated interaction in the market for SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression;

c. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would unilaterally increase prices and reduce innovation in the market for drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease; and d. by increasing the likelihood that the merged entity would unilaterally delay, deter or eliminate competing programs to research and develop EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, potentially reducing the number of drugs reaching the market and thus resulting in higher prices for consumers. VIII. VIOLATIONS CHARGED 30. The Merger Agreement described in Paragraph 18 constitutes a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 45.

PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 101 Order to Maintain Assets 31. The Merger described in Paragraph 18, if consummated, would constitute a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 45.

II.

Pursuant to a Consent Order entered into between Warner- Lambert Company, Pfizer Inc. and the Federal Trade Commission on May 24, 2000, Morris Plains New Jersey and Warner-Lambert Central Business Unit-based Warner-Lambert marketing executives and personnel and administrative and sales personnel, who directly participated in the marketing of Celexa within the twelve month period immediately prior to the termination date of April 30, 2000, are prohibited from performing services for Pfizer, or any affiliate of Pfizer, in connection with the marketing or promotion of Zoloft through March 31, 2001. In addition, such employees are prohibited from accompanying Pfizer personnel on Zoloft detailing calls.

VOLUME 130 Analysis to Aid Public Comment In addition, such employees shall maintain all Celexa Know-how (as defined in the Consent Order) strictly confidential from any person or entity, including from all other employees, executives, or other personnel of Warner-Lambert, its Affiliates and successors.

Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to Aid Public Comment The Federal Trade Commission (ACommission@) has accepted, subject to final approval, an agreement containing a proposed Consent Order from Pfizer Inc. (APfizer@) and Warner- Lambert Company (AWarner@) which is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects of the merger of Pfizer and Warner. Under the terms of the agreement, the companies would be required to: (1) terminate Warner=s agreement with Forest Laboratories, Inc. (AForest@) to co-promote the antidepressant Celexa; (2) divest Pfizer=s RID pediculicide (used to treat head lice) business to Bayer Corporation (ABayer@); (3) divest all of Warner=s assets relating to the Alzheimer=s drug, Cognex, to First Horizon Pharmaceutical Corporation; and (4) transfer and surrender to OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AOSI@) all of Pfizer=s assets relating to the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, CP-358,774, for the treatment of cancer. The proposed Consent Order has been placed on the public record for thirty (30) days for reception of comments by interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received, and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement=s proposed Consent Order. In their merger agreement of February 6, 2000, Pfizer and Warner propose to combine their two companies in a transaction PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 139 Analysis to Aid Public Comment valued at approximately $90 billion. Thereafter, the merged entity will be renamed Pfizer Inc. The proposed Complaint alleges that the proposed merger, if consummated, would constitute a violation of Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 18, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. ' 45, in the markets for: (1) SSRI/SNRI antidepressants; (2) pediculicides; (3) drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease; and (4) EGFr-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer. The proposed Consent Order would remedy the alleged violations by replacing the lost competition that would result from the merger in each of these markets.

SSRI/SNRI Antidepressants Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ASSRIs@) and selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (ASNRIs@) are used to treat depression. Both SSRIs and SNRIs have the same effect on the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is believed to be an important mood regulator. SSRIs and SNRIs are favored by physicians because they offer once-a-day dosing and a lower side effect profile compared to earlier generation antidepressants. Annual U.S. sales of SSRI/SNRI antidepressants total approximately $7 billion.

The market for SSRI/SNRIs is highly concentrated. Pfizer and Warner compete directly against each other in the market for SSRI/SNRI antidepressants. Pfizer markets Zoloft, while Warner co-promotes Celexa with Forest. In 1999, Pfizer=s Zoloft was the second-leading SSRI, with sales in the United States of over $2 billion, while Warner and Forest=s Celexa was the fastestgrowing SSRI with sales of $210 million. There are significant barriers to entry into the SSRI/SNRI market. New entry into the manufacture and sale of drugs for the treatment of depression is difficult, expensive and timeconsuming. It requires identifying a preclinical compound, VOLUME 130 Analysis to Aid Public Comment performing animal safety tests, clinically developing the product in humans, and submitting a New Drug Application for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (AFDA@). In order to enter the market, a firm must incur substantial sunk costs to research, develop, manufacture and sell a SSRI/SNRI. De novo entry has been estimated to take between 8-12 years and cost upwards of $250 million. New entry sufficient to deter or counteract the anticompetitive effects of the merger would not occur in a timely manner. Nor would such entry be likely to occur in the face of a 5 to 10 percent increase in the prices of these drugs. The proposed merger of Pfizer and Warner is likely to cause significant anticompetitive effects in the U.S. SSRI/SNRI market by increasing the likelihood of coordinated interaction among the remaining firms in the market and by eliminating Celexa, an aggressive new market entrant, as an independent competitor. As a result, American consumers of these drugs would likely pay higher prices and have fewer alternatives for SSRI/SNRI drugs for the treatment of depression.

The proposed Consent Order maintains competition in the SSRI/SNRI market by requiring that: (1) Warner terminate, absolutely and in good faith, the Celexa Co-Promotion Agreement and Celexa Amendment in accordance with the terms of the Celexa Termination Agreement with Forest; (2) Warner return all confidential information regarding Celexa to Forest; (3) the former Warner sales personnel who participated in the marketing of Celexa maintain the confidentiality of this information; and (4) the former Warner sales personnel involved in marketing Celexa be prohibited from selling Zoloft for a period of time. Pediculicides Over-the-counter (AOTC@) pediculicides are used to treat head-lice infestation. While prescription products and home remedies may also be used for the treatment of head lice, OTC pediculicides are more effective, cheaper and safer than any PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 141 Analysis to Aid Public Comment available alternatives. Annual U.S. sales of OTC pediculicides total over $150 million.

The market for OTC pediculicides is highly concentrated. Pfizer and Warner are the two leading suppliers of OTC pediculicides in the United States, with approximately 30 percent of the market each. Thus, as a result of the merger, Pfizer would have a 60 percent share of the market. There are significant barriers to entry and expansion into this market. In order to enter the market, a firm must incur substantial sunk costs to research, develop, manufacture and sell OTC pediculicides. Existing private label and small branded suppliers of pediculicides are not likely to effectively reposition themselves in order to counteract a post-merger price increase because of their minimal market presence, lack of scale economies and lack of consumer brand loyalty. The proposed merger is likely to lead to unilateral anticompetitive effects in the OTC pediculicide market by eliminating the actual, direct, and substantial competition between Pfizer and Warner and allowing the combined firm to raise prices. The proposed Consent Order remedies the merger=s anticompetitive effects by requiring that Pfizer divest its entire RID brand of pediculicide and all assets associated with this product line to Bayer.

Drugs for the Treatment of Alzheimer=s Disease Pfizer and Warner market the only two products sold in the United States for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease, Aricept and Cognex, respectively. Aricept dominates the market with more than 98 percent market share, while Cognex accounts for the remainder of the market. While the FDA has recently approved one new product, Novartis AG=s Exelon, for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease, Novartis has yet to market its product. Even taking into account Novartis=s entry into the market, the market will still be highly concentrated. There are significant VOLUME 130 Analysis to Aid Public Comment barriers to entry into this market. New entry into the manufacture and sale of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease is difficult, expensive and time-consuming because of the lengthy development periods, the need for FDA approval, and the substantial sunk costs required to research, develop, manufacture and sell these drugs. As a result, entry likely to deter or counteract the likely anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger is unlikely.

The merger would result in Pfizer=s having a monopoly in the market for drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer=s disease, with that monopoly position lessening only slightly when Exelon is launched in the United States. Accordingly, the merger would increase Pfizer=s dominant position in the market, allowing it to increase prices and potentially eliminate Cognex, the smaller competitor, from the market. The proposed Consent Order remedies the merger=s anticompetitive effects by requiring Warner to divest Cognex to First Horizon Pharmaceutical Corporation.

EGFr-tk Inhibitors for the Treatment of Cancer Pfizer and Warner are developing Epidermal Growth Factor receptor tyrosine kinase (AEGFr-tk@) inhibitors for the treatment of solid cancerous tumors. Solid tumor cancer targets include head and neck, non-small-cell lung, breast, ovarian, pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Currently, over 1.2 million Americans are diagnosed with solid tumor cancers each year. It is anticipated that EGFr-tk inhibitors will be used in conjunction with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy to treat cancer patients. EGFr-tk inhibitors target the EGFr oncogene that regulates cancer cell growth. The EGFr has been identified as being overexpressed (too prevalent) in as many as 700,000 of the 1.2 million Americans diagnosed with a solid tumor cancer each year. Patients with an over-expression of EGFr are believed to have a worse prognosis than other cancer patients. Accordingly, scientists have developed drugs that attempt to inhibit the EGFr PFIZER INC. AND WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY 143 Analysis to Aid Public Comment activity of cell division signal transduction that results in cancer cell proliferation.

The most advanced EGFr-tk inhibitors include those being developed by Pfizer and Warner. Pfizer and Warner are two of only a few companies in clinical development of EGFr-tk inhibitors for solid tumor cancers. There are significant barriers to entry into the market. In order to enter the market, a firm must incur substantial sunk costs to research, develop, manufacture and sell EGFr-tk inhibitors.

The proposed merger is likely to create anticompetitive effects in the EGFr-tk inhibitor market by potentially eliminating one of the few research and development efforts in this area. As a result of the merger, the combined entity could unilaterally delay, terminate or otherwise fail to develop one of the two competing EGFr-tk drugs, resulting in less product innovation, fewer choices, and higher prices for consumers. To resolve these concerns, the proposed Consent Order requires Pfizer to return its EGFr-tk inhibitor, CP-358,774, to its development partner, OSI. OSI holds a contractual right to obtain CP-358,774 should Pfizer terminate development efforts. Thus, while other companies have expressed interest in acquiring the rights to CP-358,774, none may do so without the prior approval of OSI.

The proposed Consent Order maintains competition in the research and development of EGFR-tk inhibitors for the treatment of cancer by requiring that Pfizer fulfill its obligations under the May 23, 2000 agreement between Pfizer and OSI to (1) transfer and surrender its rights to CP-358,774 to OSI; (2) grant OSI a royalty-free, irrevocable worldwide license, including the right to sublicense, to all of its rights in, and to, the patents currently owned jointly by OSI and Pfizer relating to EGFr-tk inhibitors; (3) complete, at Pfizer=s cost, ongoing clinical trials of CP-358,774; (4) provide OSI with a manufacturing and supply VOLUME 130 Analysis to Aid Public Comment agreement for the continued supply of CP-358,774, pending transfer of manufacturing technology to a new manufacturer; (5) assume liability for all completed clinical trials; and (6) transfer all know-how and technology relating to CP-358-774 to OSI. The Consent Order also provides for an Interim Trustee to be appointed to oversee Pfizer=s obligations under the Order and to ensure the continued development and viability of CP-358,774. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed Consent Order, and it is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the proposed Consent Order or to modify its terms in any way.
