`DECLARATION OF PROFESSOR STEPHEN BYRN
`
`1.
`
`I, Professor Stephen Byrn, hereby declare as follows:
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`I am the Charles B. Jordan Professor of Medicinal Chemistry at Purdue University.
`
`I have been retained by Defendants Moderna, Inc. and ModernaTX, Inc.
`
`(collectively, “Moderna”) in connection with the above-captioned lawsuit.
`
`II.
`
`BACKGROUND AND ASSIGNMENT
`A.
`
`The Suit
`
`4.
`
`I have been advised by counsel for Moderna that Arbutus Biopharma Corp. and
`
`Genevant Sciences GmbH (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) have asserted patents including U.S. Patent
`
`Nos. 8,058,069 (the “’069 Patent”), 8,492,359 (the “’359 Patent”), 8,822,668 (the “’668 Patent”),

`

`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00252-MSG Document 195-19 Filed 01/16/24 Page 3 of 68 PageID #: 13485
`
`
`
`9,364,435 (the “’435 Patent”), and 11,141,378 (the “’378 Patent”) (collectively, the “Molar Ratio
`
`Patents”) against Moderna. I have reviewed and analyzed the Molar Ratio Patents in connection
`
`with the opinions I express herein.
`
`B. Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine
`
`5.
`
`Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine, “mRNA-1273,” is an FDA-approved drug
`
`product.1 mRNA-1273 contains four lipids: SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl
`
`glycerol [DMG], cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC].2
`
`C.
`
`6.
`
`The Discovery Dispute
`
`I understand that Plaintiffs have requested drug product samples from all batches
`
`of drug product of Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine, and specifically samples of drug product that
`
`contain 100 milligrams of lipid content per batch.
`
`7.
`
`I have been advised by counsel that Moderna assigns “part numbers” to
`
`differentiate between formulations and processes used to make the drug product. For example,
`
`Moderna’s drug product with part number
`
` is manufactured as a
`
` mL vial with a
`
`specification that requires lipid content of
`
` MRNA-GEN-00456568 (Exhibit #A). One
`
`drug product vial of part number
`
` would comprise
`
` mg total lipid content.
`
`8.
`
`I have been further advised by counsel for Moderna that, in response to Plaintiffs’
`
`sample request, Moderna has offered to produce 3 drug product samples for each part number that

`

`
`
`
`Case 1:22-cv-00252-MSG Document 195-19 Filed 01/16/24 Page 4 of 68 PageID #: 13486
`
`
`
`has been manufactured in the U.S.3 and has objected to the production of the volume of samples
`
`requested by Plaintiffs on the grounds of relevance and disproportionality to the needs of the case.
`
`9.
`
`I have been further advised by counsel for Moderna that Plaintiffs have filed an
`
`application to the Court in this case seeking an order compelling Moderna to produce samples
`
`from all batches of drug product of Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine in response to Plaintiffs’ RFP
`
`seeking “50 vials of the Accused Product from each lot referenced in Biologics License
`
`Application 125752 or that has otherwise been manufactured by or on behalf of Moderna.” I
`
`understand that Plaintiffs have requested sufficient vials to comprise “100 mg of lipid” for each
`
`lot.
`
`D.
`
`10.
`
`Assignment
`
`I have been asked by counsel for Moderna to consider (1) whether “100 mg of lipid”
`
`for each batch is necessary to conduct testing for lipid content (2) whether Plaintiffs’ justification
`
`that they need samples in order to determine the lipid content in individual LNPs is scientifically
`
`sound.
`
`11.
`
`To answer these questions, I have considered the materials identified herein, and
`
`rely on my education, professional training, and expertise in medicinal chemistry as well as my
`
`general knowledge of chemistry, which I have developed in over 50 years of experience as a
`
`professor of medicinal chemistry.
`
`12.
`
`I am being compensated for my time spent working on this matter at a rate of $850
`
`per hour. I have no financial interest in the outcome of this case.
`
`
`3 I have been informed that Moderna transitioned from drug product vials to single-dose
`syringes and that for such batches Moderna would provide an equivalent number of syringe
`samples.

`
`III.
`
`PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND & TESTIMONY
`
`13.
`
`I received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Illinois in 1970 and was a
`
`post-doctoral fellow at UCLA from 1970 to 1972. In 1972, I became a professor in the Medicinal
`
`Chemistry and Pharmacognosy Department at Purdue University. I was Head of the Department
`
`of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy at Purdue University in the School of Pharmacy and
`
`Pharmaceutical Sciences from 1988-1994. I was the Director of the Center for AIDS Research at
`
`Purdue form 1988 until 1998, and I was the Head of the Department of Industrial and Physical
`
`Pharmacy from 1994 to 2009. I became the Charles B. Jordan Professor of Medicinal Chemistry
`
`in 1992.
`
`14.
`
`I am an author of over 225 peer-reviewed publications in technical journals on
`
`topics relating to solid-state chemistry, analysis, formulation, X-ray crystallography, stability,
`
`medicinal chemistry, chemistry, and the like. I am also co-author of the three leading books in the
`
`field of solid-state chemistry of pharmaceuticals. My most recent book was published by Wiley in
`
`2017 and is entitled “Solid State Properties of Pharmaceutical Materials.” Under my supervision,
`
`over 50 students and post-doctoral associates have published numerous papers and theses on many
`
`different compounds and formulations.
`
`15.
`
`I have taught numerous courses as outlined in my Curriculum Vitae, attached as
`
`Exhibit B. At Purdue I co-authored a book entitled Quantitative Pharmaceutical Chemistry and
`
`lectured on HPLC. I have continued to lecture and work with HPLC since then. I have also taught
`
`at the federal Food and Drug Administration and have given I have also given over 270 invited
`
`lectures and symposium talks and presentations on solid-state chemistry, analysis, polymorphs,
`
`and similar topics.

`
`
`
`16.
`
`I have used a wide range of analytical methods to characterize pharmaceuticals
`
`including HPLC, X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, environmental scanning electron
`
`microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, IR spectroscopy,
`
`Raman spectroscopy, moisture sorption analysis, thermal microscopy, and dissolution.
`
`17.
`
`I am the past Chair of the Pharmaceutical Sciences Advisory Committee at the
`
`FDA. The role of that Committee is to advise the FDA on polymorphism issues, biopharmaceutical
`
`issues, as well as general chemical manufacturing control issues, including formulation,
`
`dissolution, and hydrates. I am the former Chair of the Drug Substances Technical Committee of
`
`the Product Quality Research Institute (PQRI) where, to improve drug quality, we discussed three
`
`main areas: (1) specifications, (2) particle size, and (3) chemical impurities.
`
`18.
`
`I am also past Chair of the Chemistry 5 Expert Committee at the USP (United States
`
`Pharmacopeia), and a past member of the Council of Experts at the USP. As part of my work on
`
`the Chemistry 5 Committee, I advised on over 500 monographs of the USP many of which
`
`included HPLC analyses.
`
`19.
`
`In my laboratory, we are currently making lipid nanoparticles utilizing cationic
`
`lipids to encapsulate small molecule drugs. We routinely utilize HPLC and mass spectrometry to
`
`analyze these lipid nanoparticles.
`
`20. My prior testimony is attached in Exhibit #C.
`
`IV.
`
`SUMMARY OF OPINIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
`
`21.
`
`Based on my review of the materials cited in this declaration, it is my opinion that
`
`Moderna’s use of an HPLC/UHPLC procedure to measure lipid content of each batch of its
`
`COVID-19 vaccine is reliable, standard method to determine lipid content. Genevant and the
`
`named inventors similarly use an HPLC/UHPLC method to measure lipid content.

`
`
`
`22.
`
`I am not aware of any method for determining the lipid content of an isolated single
`
`LNP in Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, let alone a method that would generate reliable or
`
`scientifically sound results.
`
`23.
`
`It is also my opinion that Plaintiffs’ request for 100 mg of lipid for each drug
`
`product batch is excessive and far more than what is needed to measure lipid content. I am not
`
`aware of any analytical techniques for determining lipid content that would require such large
`
`amounts of sample.
`
`24.
`
`It is also my opinion that 3 drug product samples for each part number is more than
`
`an adequate amount of lipid for Plaintiffs to analyze lipid content.
`
`V.
`
`OPINIONS
`A.
`
`Scientific Background Information
`1.
`
`Lipid Nanoparticles
`
`25.
`
`Lipid nanoparticles (“LNPs”) are drug delivery vehicles comprising lipids—fatty
`
`compounds that are generally insoluble in water. The LNPs at issue here comprise four separate
`
`lipid components: a PEG lipid, cholesterol, a phospholipid, and an ionizable (referred to here as a
`
`cationic) lipid.
`
`26.
`
`LNPs vary in size but are generally around 50-150 nanometers, which is thousands
`
`of times smaller than a grain of sand.
`
`2.
`
`Analytical Methods
`
`27.
`
`Various analytical chemistry techniques are referred to in this declaration and in
`
`the case materials I have considered for purposes of my analysis. These analytical chemistry
`
`techniques include HPLC, UHPLC, and mass spectrometry among others.

`
`Case 1:22-cv-00252-MSG Document 195-19 Filed 01/16/24 Page 8 of 68 PageID #: 13490
`
`
`
`28.
`
`I have been advised by counsel for Moderna that Plaintiffs have not identified what
`
`analytical method for lipid quantification that they will rely on in this case, if any, and have not
`
`identified any method that justifies the amount and quantity of samples they are seeking.
`
`a.
`
`HPLC and UHPLC
`
`29.
`
`High performance liquid chromatography (“HPLC”) and ultrahigh performance
`
`liquid chromatography (“UHPLC” or “UPLC”) are techniques used to separate compounds in
`
`mixtures while in solution. HPLC and UHPLC/UPLC operate on the same principles. For both,
`
`separations occur on a stationary phase (usually silica or chemically derivatized silica) that is
`
`packed into a column. Solvent (called the mobile phase) is pumped through the column, and a
`
`compound mixture is injected into the flowing solvent and onto the column. Due to differences in
`
`interactions between the stationary phase and the compounds in the mixture such as adsorption,
`
`the compound mixture can be separated as it flows through the column such that each compound
`
`elutes (is washed out or removed) at a different time.
`
`30.
`
` Using standard equipment and methodology, you cannot inject 100 mg of lipids
`
`into an HPLC/UHPLC column.
`
`31.
`
`HPLC/UHPLC is generally considered a standard method for measuring lipid
`
`content.
`
`32.
`
`In Plaintiffs’ expert David H. Thompson’s Markman declaration concerning the
`
`Molar Ratio Patents, he cites articles showing that HPLC is a preferred method for measuring lipid
`
`content. See D.I 181, J.A. 29 (Thompson Decl.) at ¶ 56 citing P. Tam et al., Stabilized plasmid-
`
`lipid particles for systemic gene therapy, Gene Therapy, vol. 7, pp. 1867-74 (2000) (“Tam 2000”)
`
`and J. Heyes et al., Synthesis and characterization of novel poly(ethylene glycol)-lipid conjugates

`
`suitable for use in drug delivery, Journal of Controlled Release, vol. 112, pp. 280-90 (2006)
`
`(“Heyes 2006”).
`
`33.
`
`HPLC/UHPLC cannot be used to determine the lipid content of an isolated single
`
`LNP.
`
`b.
`
`Mass spectrometry
`
`34.
`
`Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and LC-tandem mass spectrometry
`
`involve the interfacing of HPLC or UHPLC to a mass spectrometer or a mass spectrometer capable
`
`of analyzing the sample using the MS/MS technique. Mass spectrometers convert molecules to gas
`
`phase ions that are then separated and analyzed in an electromagnetic field according to their mass-
`
`to-charge properties. High resolution mass spectrometers can analyze ions with such accuracy that
`
`the elemental compositions of the ions can be determined. Tandem mass spectrometers provide a
`
`second dimension of ion characterization by selecting a specific precursor ion, fragmenting it
`
`(usually using a gas phase process called collision-induced dissociation) and then recording all or
`
`specific fragment ions that provide structural information about the precursor ion.
`
`35. Mass spectrometry cannot be used to determine the lipid content of an isolated
`
`single LNP.
`
`B. Molar Ratio Patents
`
`36.
`
`The Molar Ratio Patents do not refer to any analytical method for measuring lipid
`
`content in the specification or the claims.
`
`37.
`
`Dr. Kieu Lam, named co-inventor of the Molar Ratio Patents, used HPLC to
`
`analyze lipid content,

`
`Genevant Uses HPLC/UHPLC to Measure Lipid Content
`
`I understand that Genevant has stated in a discovery response that “lipid content
`
`and/orlipid molarratio of a lipid composition may be determined using liquid chromatography,
`
`such as high-performance liquid chromatography (“HPLC”) or reverse phase HPLC (“RP-
`
`HPLC”), coupled to a suitable detector, such as an evaporative light scattering detector (““ELSD”)
`
`or a charged aerosol detector (“CAD”). Other methods such as mass spectrometry may also be
`
`used.” Genevant Responses to Moderna’s Third Set of Interrogatories at 6-7 (Interrogatory No.

`13).

`
`require more than 100 pg oflipid content.
`
`F.
`
`49.
`
`Lipid Content Testing for Individual LNPs
`
`There are likely millions if not trillions of individual LNPs in a given dose of
`
`Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. As stated above, LNPs vary in size but are generally around 50-
`
`150 nanometers, which is thousands of tumes smaller than a grainof sand.

`

`
`
`
`50.
`
`Plaintiffs’ Motion indicates that they seek to perform testing to measure the lipid
`
`content in individual lipid particles (“that testing measures the aggregate concentrations of lipids
`
`in a batch; it does not measure the lipid ratio of LNPs amongst the trillions of particles in each
`
`batch.”). Applying Plaintiffs’ interpretation of the Molar Ratio Patent claims, I am not aware of
`
`any method for isolating a single LNP. Similarly, I am not aware of any method for determining
`
`the lipid content of an isolated single LNP. As stated above, HPLC/UHPLC cannot be used to
`
`determine the lipid content of an isolated single LNP.
`
`51.
`
`The Molar Ratio Patents do not describe any method for isolating a single LNP or
`
`any method for determining the lipid content of an isolated single LNP. As stated above at ¶ 39,
`
`the named inventors’ notebooks that Plaintiffs have identified as underlying those patents show
`
`that the inventors used HPLC and measured aggregate concentrations (though those measurements
`
`and the method are not reported in the Molar Ratio Patents).
`
`*

`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
`
`foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

`Sustainable Medicines in Africa (Joint with Sr. Zita Ekeocha, M.S. and Professor Kari Clase)
`
`The sustainable medicine program in Africa is aimed at addressing the problem of lack of access to high quality
`medicines in Africa. This program consists of: (1) Master’s degree in Biotechnology Innovation and Regulatory
`Science (Sr. Zita Ekeocha)); (2) an actual GMP-level pharmaceutical manufacturing facility (2008 – 2020), and
`(3) a quality medicines laboratory equipped with HPLCs. The educational programs are aimed at providing
`source of well-trained manufacturing scientists for pharmaceutical industry in Tanzania and Africa. The GMP-
`level facility and GMP courses are used to teach manufacturing under strict quality control. The GMP facility
`served as a model for other such facilities throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The feasibility of establishing a
`sustainable medicine program in Tanzania is supported by the experience of the former Infusion Units Project in
`Tanzania, now known as Saint Luke Foundation (SLF). This program has manufactured and distributed infusion
`solutions throughout Tanzania since 1983. Additionally, the availability of trained personnel and a model facility
`will combat several current problems especially those related to counterfeited/poor quality medicines.
`
`This Master’s degree in Biotechnology Innovation and Regulatory Science is supported by Bill and Melinda
`Gates Foundation as an ANDi (African National Drug Innovation) Center for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and
`Regulatory Training. This center is one of less than 50 centers in Africa.
