`
`DECLARATION OF BARBARA KLENCKEa MD.
`
`1, Barbara Klencke, M.D., declare and say as follows: -
`
`l.
`
`I obtained a BS. in 1979 from Indiana University, and an MD. from University
`
`of California, Davis. I completed my residency at University of California San Francisco
`
`(UCSF) Medical Center. Following two years of Medical Oncology fellowship training at
`
`UCSF, I served as Assistant Professor of Medicine for over seven years at UCSF.
`
`2.
`
`I joined Chiron (later acquired by Novartis) in 2002 and served as Medical
`
`Director for one year, and in 2003, Ijoined Genentech, Inc., where I worked as Associate Group
`
`Director, and where my current title is Group Director.
`
`3.
`
`During my employment at Genentech, I have worked on the development of
`
`marketed products, such as Avastin® and Tarceva®, and several therapeutic compounds in early
`
`development, prior to working on the development of T—DMl. T-DM1 is a therapeutic
`
`immunoconjugate in which the anti—ErbB2 antibody trastuzumab is conjugated to the cytotoxic
`
`maytansinoid “DMl.” Part of my responsibilities as Associate Group Director included the
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-01
`
`

`

`development of clinical trial strategy for T-DMl in the treatment of tumors, primarily breast
`
`tumors, that express ErbB2.
`
`4.
`
`My Curriculum Vitae, including my list of publications, patents, pending patent
`
`applications, and awards, is enclosed as Exhibit A and forms part of this Declaration.
`
`5.
`
`I am familiar with and understand the disclosure of the above—identified patent
`
`application, including the currently pending claims, including the new claims added concurrently
`
`with filing the present Declaration. I am also familiar with and understand the Office Action
`
`mailed on June 8, 2010 in connection with the above—identified patent application, and the
`
`references cited in that Office Action. Claim 40 is directed to an immunoconjugate comprising
`
`the antibody huMAb4D5—8 conjugated to a maytansinoid. The antibody huMAb4D5—8 is the
`
`same antibody as trastuzumab and is marketed under the tradename Herceptin®. All other claims
`
`depend, directly or indirectly, from claim 40.
`
`6.
`
`According to the Office Action, the claimed invention would have been obvious
`
`to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention was made over the combination of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,208,020 (referred to hereinafter as “Chari et al.”) and U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,054,297 (referred to hereinafter as “Carter et al.”). Chari et a1. allegedly teach a composition
`
`comprising one or more maytansinoids (col. 6-8) linked to a monoclonal antibody or antibody
`
`fragment, where the monoclonal antibody is selective for tumor cell antigens. Carter is cited for
`
`disclosing humanized 4D5 antibodies, including huMAb4D5—8, and for allegedly teaching that
`
`the humanized 4D5 antibodies may be used as immunotoxins, conjugated with a cytotoxic
`
`moiety (col. 44). The Examiner acknowledges that Chari et a1. do not teach an anti—ErbB2
`
`antibody conjugated to a maytansinoid. The finding of obviousness is based on the assertion that
`
`one of ordinary skill would have been motivated to make the claimed antibody—maytansinoid
`
`conjugates because such conjugates fall within the scope of the immunotoxins of Carter et al. and
`
`because Carter et al. teach that ErbB2 is amplified or overexpressed in human malignancies.
`
`7.
`
`Before the earliest priority date of the present application (March 16, 2000), it
`
`was known that ErbB2 (also known as HER2) is amplified and overexpressed in certain breast
`
`and ovarian cancers, and such overexpression is correlated with poor prognosis. (See application
`
`at page 2, para. [0006].) It was also known that HER2 is expressed in normal tissues at levels
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-02
`
`

`

`similar to those found in non-HER2-amplified, non—HERZ—overexpressing breast cancers and
`
`breast cancer cell lines. For example, HER—2 protein was identified on cell membranes of
`
`normal epithelial cells in the gastro—intestinal, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary tract as well
`
`as in the skin, breast and placenta, demonstrating that HER2 is normally a membrane constituent
`
`of a variety of epithelial cell types.
`
`(See, Press et al., Oncogene 5(7):953—62, 1990 — Exhibit B,
`
`Abstract, Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2.)
`
`8.
`
`Herceptin® was approved by the FDA in 1998 for the treatment of metastatic
`
`HERZ—overexpressing breast cancer, either as an initial treatment in combination with
`
`chemotherapy (paclitaxel), or as a monotherapy after prior treatment with chemotherapy.
`
`Herceptin® was later approved in 2006 as part of a multi—agent regimen for the adjuvant (post—
`
`surgical) treatment of HERZ—overexpressing breast cancer. In 2008, Herceptin® received further
`
`approvals from the FDA for treatment in the adjuvant setting. Although Herceptin® is a
`
`breakthrough in the treatment of HERZ—overexpressing (“HER2-positive”) breast cancer, nearly
`
`all patients with metastatic disease treated with Herceptin® will progress after experiencing a
`
`period of clinical benefit, and there remains an unmet medical need for patients with HER2—
`
`positive breast cancer. (See application at page 5, para. [0014].)
`
`9.
`
`The maytansinoids are a family of cytotoxic molecules that include maytansine
`
`and its derivative DM1. Before the priority date, it was reported that maytansine acts as a very
`
`potent mitotic inhibitor by inhibiting microtubule polymerization. (See abstract, Rao et al.,
`
`Cancer Research 39:3152—3155, 1979 — Exhibit C; and see abstract, Remillard et al., Science
`
`189: 1002—1005, 1975 — Exhibit D.) Maytansine was also reported as being of relatively high
`
`cytotoxicity (i.e., about 100—200 fold more cytotoxic than other anti—mitotic agents). (See
`
`Exhibit C, col. 1, para. 2.) Maytansine was unsuccessful in human clinical trials because of
`
`unacceptable systemic toxicity, i.e., maytansine did not demonstrate clinically reasonable
`
`therapeutic benefit at safe doses. (See Issell et al., Cancer Treat. Rev. 5:199—207, 1978 — Exhibit
`
`E, e.g., at pages 204 and 207.)
`
`10.
`
`Before the earliest priority date of the present application, it was recognized in the
`
`art that some monoclonal antibody-based therapies had begun to show promise in the treatment
`
`of cancer, as demonstrated, e.g., by Herceptin® and by Rituxan®, another Genentech monoclonal
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-03
`
`

`

`antibody first approved in 1997 for the treatment of non—Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Despite the
`
`promise shown by some monoclonal antibodies in the clinical setting at the priority date,
`
`immunoconjugates (referring to antibodies conjugated to moieties such as radioisotopes,
`
`enzymes, drugs, and cytotoxic agents) had achieved very limited clinical success at that time, a
`
`fact that holds‘true to this day. Indeed, Trail and Bianchi recognized at the priority date that
`
`immunoconjugates were not “established” chemotherapeutic agents and that further work in the
`
`field was needed to improve “the efficacy and therapeutic index of immunoconjugates by
`
`optimizing selectivity and potency.” (See Trail and Bianchi, Current Opinion in Immunology
`
`11:584—588, Oct. 1999 — Exhibit F, e.g., at page 586, col. 2, para. 2.) “Selectivity” refers to the
`
`ability of immunoconjugates to bind preferably to tumor cells expressing the target antigen over
`
`normal cells that may also express the target antigen, while “potency” refers to the degree of
`
`cytotoxicity of the immunoconjugate, as conferred by the cytotoxic moiety of the
`
`immunoconjugate. Trail and Bianchi cautioned that “[i]t is therefore necessary to balance the
`
`relative selectivity of the MAb [monoclonal antibody] with the potency of the agent delivered.”
`
`(See Exhibit F page 584, col. 1, para. 2.) If that balance is not achieved, an immunoconjugate
`
`may cause toxicity on the one hand, or may not be sufficiently potent on the other.
`
`(See Exhibit
`
`F, page 585, col. 1, first para, and col. 2, last para.) Indeed, Trail and Bianchi further cautioned
`
`that “even low levels of expression of the targeted antigen by normal cells may lead to significant
`
`toxicity.” (Exhibit F, page 585, col. 1, para. 1, emphasis added.)
`
`11.
`
`Thus, at the priority date, the immunoconjugate field was still evolving with no
`
`outstanding successes, and there was considerable uncertainty and concern surrounding the
`
`therapeutic potential and in particular, the therapeutic index, of immunoconjugates. Indeed, Trail
`
`and Bianchi predicted that the major role of immunoconjugates would lie in “minimal disease
`
`settings,” based on the assumption that potency would need to be comprised in order to avoid
`
`unacceptable levels of toxicity. (See Exhibit F, e. g., at page 585, C01. 2, last para, and page 586,
`
`col. 2, last para.)
`
`12.
`
`In my capacity as Associate Group Director at Genentech, I played a major role in
`
`designing the “TDM4374g” clinical trial protocol. The TDM4374g clinical trial is a
`
`Genentech/Roche—sponsored single-arm, multi—center Phase II trial of T—DMl in 110 patients
`
`with HER2—positive metastatic breast cancer. Patients that participated in this study had
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-04
`
`

`

`progressive disease after having been treated with at least the following five different agents or
`
`classes of agents: an anthracycline, a taxane, capecitabine (Xeloda®) and two HERZ-directed
`
`therapies, i.e., Herceptin® and lapatinib (Tykerb®, an inhibitor of the intracellular tyrosine
`kinase domain of HERZ). Anthracyclines, taxanes and capecitabine encompass the most
`
`commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of breast cancer; Herceptin® and
`
`lapatinib represent the only FDA-approved HERZ—direeted therapies for metastatic HERZ-
`
`positive breast cancer. Thus, the patients in the TDM4374g trial had been previously treated
`
`with at least five agents representing the most commonly used classes of drugs currently
`
`available for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, including the only two that are approved ‘
`
`for the treatment of HERZ—positive breast cancer.
`
`13.
`
`The patients enrolled in the TDM4374g trial had been treated with a median of
`
`seven different agents, yet their cancers had progressed after the last therapy received. T—DMl
`
`was essentially a last option for the terminally ill patients in this study.
`
`14.
`
`At this point in the TDM4374g trial, the clinical activity of T—DMl has well
`
`exceeded what a clinical oncologist practicing in the field of metastatic breast cancer would have
`
`expected, given the clinical setting the trial was designed to address as well as the activity of
`
`other agents currently used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
`
`15.
`
`In the TDM4374g trial as of December 2009, the objective response rate (ORR),
`
`which is the percentage of patients whose tumors shrank by at least 30% after treatment with T—
`
`DMl, was 32.7%, as determined by an independent review facility. The clinical benefit rate,
`
`which is the percentage of patients with objective response or stable disease maintained for at
`
`least 6 months, was 44.5%, as determined by an independent review facility.
`
`16.
`
`To put these data in perspective, patients initially presenting with HERZ—positive
`
`metastatic breast cancer typically receive Herceptin® in combination with a taxane. If a patient’s
`
`disease progresses after that “first—line” therapy, then a “second-line” HERZ—directed therapy is
`
`typically administered. That second—line therapy typically consists of either Herceptin® or
`
`lapatinib administered in combination with further chemotherapeutic agents. After first— and
`
`second—line therapies fail, the treatment options for metastatic breast cancer are very limited.
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-05
`
`

`

`One remaining approved treatment option in this “third—line” setting is ixabepilone (Ixempra®;
`
`Bristol—Myers Squibb), a non—HER2—specific microtubule inhibitor.
`
`17.
`
`The ORR for T—DMl was unexpectedly better than the ORR seen with agents
`
`currently used in second— and third-line metastatic breast cancer therapies. For example, the
`
`ORR for the combination of lapatinib and capecitabine was 23.7% in a “second-line” study of
`
`patients that had received prior treatment with an anthracycline, a taxane and Herceptin®.
`
`(See
`
`Tykerb® package insert, rev. 2010 — Exhibit G, e. g., at page 15 , Table 5.) The ORR for
`
`ixabepilone in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer previously treated with an anthracycline,
`
`a taxane and capecitabine was 12.4%. (See Ixempra® package insert, rev. 2009 — Exhibit H,
`
`e.g., at Table 8.)
`
`18.
`
`Based on my experience as an oncologist, the trial would have been considered a
`
`success if T—DMl, which was administered as a third—line therapy in TDM4374g, demonstrated
`
`an ORR comparable to that of current second line therapies. Thus, an ORR of about 24% would
`
`have been considered a favorable outcome in the TDM4374g trial. The fact that the ORR of T—
`
`DMl in TDM4374g (32.7%) significantly exceeded that of current second—line therapies
`
`(23.7%), and well surpassed that of current third line therapies (12.4%), was a better result than
`
`expected.
`
`19.
`
`T—DMl also showed considerably low systemic toxicity. T—DMl was generally
`
`well tolerated by patients at the dose and schedule tested, and the observed toxicities were
`
`generally acceptable and manageable in this patient population. The low toxicity of T—DMl is an
`
`advantage, particularly in light of the fact that HER2 is expressed on normal cells, and that
`
`maytansine (from which DMl is derived) had demonstrated unacceptable toxicity in previous
`
`clinical trials.
`
`20.
`
`It is my considered opinion that T—DMl provides an important advance in the
`
`field of HER2—positive metastatic breast cancer treatment, by showing unexpectedly superior
`
`activity in a patient population that had progressed after treatment with multiple standard
`chemotherapies as well as all currently approved HER2—directed therapies. TDM4374g is the
`
`first clinical trial that specifically treated patients who had progressive disease after receiving
`
`five FDA—approved agents or classes of agents for the treatment of breast cancer, including the
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-06
`
`

`

`only two approved HER2—directed agents (trastuzumab and lapatinib). That patient population
`
`has very limited treatment options. Current chemotherapeutic options in this setting have poor
`
`response rates and significant toxicity. In contrast, T—DMl provides a Viable single treatment
`
`option with impressive efficacy and a favorable safety profile.
`
`21.
`
`The opinion that T-DMl demonstrated unexpectedly superior activity is reflected
`
`by the statements of others in the field praising the performance of T-DMl in the TDM4374g
`
`trial. For example, Dr. Ian Krop, the lead clinical investigator in the study, was quoted in a
`
`“WebMD” online article as stating that “[t]his is the first study looking at women who have
`
`failed so many other treatments” and “we think these results are as good as we’ve ever seen in
`
`such a refractory population.” (See. WebMD website http://Www.webmd.com/breast—
`
`cancer/news/20091215/targeted—breast-cancer—drug—shrinks—tumors, dated 12/ 1 5/2009, printed on
`
`12/ 18/2009 — Exhibit I, emphasis added.) Dr. Krop was also quoted in an online article in
`
`“TheStreet.com” as stating: “T-DMl is a drug that I’d like to see made available to patients. I’m
`
`sure Genentech [Roche] is strongly considering using this data for the basis of an accelerated
`
`approval filing.” (See http://www.thestreet.com/print/story/ 10644637.html, dated 12/14/2009,
`
`printed on 12/ 18/2009 — Exhibit J, emphasis added.)
`
`22.
`
`Edith Perez, M.D., a breast cancer specialist and internationally known researcher
`
`at the Mayo Clinic, was quoted in the “WebMD” online article cited above as stating that “[t]he
`
`response rate they saw in the study is exceptional in a group of patients this ill.” (See Exhibit 1,
`
`emphasis added.) (It is noted that Dr. Perez was not a clinical investigator in the TDM4374g
`
`trial but is an investigator in other Genentech/Roche—sponsored clinical trials of T—DMl in other
`
`settings.)
`
`23.
`
`It is also my considered opinion that the results of the TDM4374g trial challenged
`
`the skepticism surrounding immunoconjugates at the priority date, e.g., that the major role of
`
`immunoconjugates would lie “in minimal disease settings.” In the TDM4374g trial, T—DMI
`
`demonstrated unexpectedly superior efficacy as a single agent in an extremely advanced disease
`
`setting, thus well exceeding expectations at the priority date. T—DMl achieved this feat by
`
`demonstrating both impressively high potency and low toxicity. Those results were not
`
`PHIGENIX
`
`Exhibit 1029-07
`
`

`

`predictable, given that maytansinoids are highly cytotoxic molecules and that HER2 is expressed
`
`on normal cells.
`
`24.
`
`It is further my considered opinion that T—DMl fills a long felt but unresolved
`
`need at the priority date, i.e., the need for HER2—directed agents that treat metastatic HERZ—
`
`positive breast cancer. At the priority date, only one HERZ—directed therapy, i.e., Herceptin®,
`
`had been approved by the FDA for the treatment of HERZ—overexpressing metastatic breast
`
`cancer. Moreover, nearly all patients with metastatic disease treated with Herceptin® will
`
`progress after experiencing a period of clinical benefit.
`
`25.
`
`The opinions expressed in paragraphs 20 and 23—24 are consistent with those of
`
`other experts in the field, who have praised T—DMl and would like to see T—DMl available to
`
`patients (i.e., approved by the FDA) as soon as possible. As shown by the results of the
`
`TDM4374g trial, T—DMl has the potential to considerably improve the lives of breast cancer
`
`patients, offering new hope to patients suffering with advanced, aggressive disease.
`
`26.
`
`It is also my considered opinion that T—DMl is a pioneer in the immunoconjugate
`
`field. To this day (about 10 years after the priority date), immunoconjugates have achieved very
`
`limited clinical success. Although immunoconjugates have been subject to over two decades of
`
`research and development within the scientific and pharmaceutical community, the FDA has thus
`
`far approved only one immunoconjugate, Mylotarg®, for the treatment of acute myeloid
`
`leukemia, a hematologic cancer. The unexpectedly superior activity of T—DM 1 in treating solid
`
`tumors represents an important advance in the field of immunoconjugates.
`
`27.
`I declare further that all statements made in this Declaration of my own
`knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true
`and further, that these statements are made with theknowledge that willful statements and the
`
`like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under Section 1001 of Title 18 of
`
`the United States Code and that such willful false statements may jeopardize the validity of the
`
`application or any patent granted thereon.
