`
`
`
`Sir:
`
`DECLARATION OF MATTHEW W. DAVIS M.D. R.Ph.
`
`I, the undersigned, hereby declare the following, based on my own
`
`knowledge, information, and belief:
`
`Page 2 of 27
`
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`I am presently Senior Vice President of Clinical Operations and
`
`Development at Sun Pharmaceuticals.
`
`
`
`2.
`
`I received an M.D. degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania
`
`in 1994, a B.S. in Pharmacy from Temple University School of Pharmacy. I did an
`
`internship in surgery, followed by a residency in urology. I am a pharmacist, R.Ph,
`
`as well as a licensed physician.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Since 1998, I have directed clinical development, medical affairs and
`
`pharmacovigilance at a number of different companies. These companies include,
`
`Endo Pharmaceuticals, Dermik Laboratories, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Eisai
`
`Global Research and most recently, URL Pharma, now Sun Pharmaceuticals.
`
`
`
`4.
`
`I have co-authored 20 articles in peer reviewed scientific and medical
`
`journals. I am the sole inventor of 17 U.S. patents, named inventor on numerous
`
`other patents and patent applications. A copy of my resume is attached.
`
`
`
`5.
`
`I have reviewed U.S. Patent No. 6,045,501, its file history as well as
`
`the prior art cited in the Petition: (i) Dishman et al. (Am. J. Hosp. Pharm 51: 899
`
`Page 3 of 27
`
`
`
`(1994), (“Dishman”), Exhibit 1004); (ii) Bastani et al. (Psychopharmacology
`
`99:S122 (1989), (Bastani”), Exhibit 1005); (iii) Powell et al. (Postgrad. Med. J.
`
`70:901 (1994), (“Powell”), Exhibit 1006); (iv) Mitchell et al. (New England J.
`
`Med. 333(2):101 (1995), (“Mitchell”), Exhibit 1008); (v) Honigfeld (Psychiatric
`
`Services 47:52 (1996), (“Honigfeld”) (Exhibit 1009); (vi) the 47th Meeting of the
`
`Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Advisory Board (September 4-5, 1997, (the “FDA
`
`Meeting”), Exhibit 1010 (a) and (b); and (vii) CDC Meeting (Centers for Disease
`
`Control, Preventing Birth Defects, March 26, 1997, (Exhibit 1011) (the “CDC
`
`Meeting”)).
`
`
`
`6.
`
`Dishman discloses a program instituted by the Department of
`
`Veterans Affairs (VA) for controlling the dispensing of an antipsychotic drug,
`
`clozapine. Exhibit 1004, Abstract. Because clozapine treatment is associated with
`
`a number of serious and potentially fatal serious side effects, its use needs to be
`
`tightly controlled. Exhibit 1005 at S122. In 1994, the VA developed a clozapine
`
`monitoring program. Exhibit 1004 at 900. A National Clozapine Coordinating
`
`Center (NCCC) was established. Id. The NCCC required that each hospital have a
`
`computerized clozapine prescription lockout system, which ties the hospital’s
`
`laboratory database to the outpatient pharmacy dispensing software. Id. The
`
`program only allows clozapine prescriptions to be processed when the white blood
`
`Page 4 of 27
`
`
`
`cell counts are within defined limits, i.e., when certain pre-defined clinical criteria
`
`are met. Id. The NCCC guidelines require extensive patient evaluation and
`
`documentation. In order to receive clozapine, the patients have to undergo a
`
`complete physical examination, including laboratory tests. Id. Patients are
`
`screened by the pharmacist to determine eligibility for treatment with clozapine.
`
`Id. The pharmacist then sends the information to the NCCC and after approval,
`
`the patient is then enrolled in the hospital’s clozapine tracking system and therapy
`
`is begun. Id. In other words, the clozapine monitoring system in the VA, provides
`
`for (i) “registration into one or more computer readable storage media of the
`
`prescriber, pharmacy and patient”; (ii) “a means to monitor and authorize
`
`distribution of contraindicated drugs, including teratogenic drugs”; and (iii) denial
`
`of “dispension or prescriptions of contraindicated drugs, including teratogenic
`
`drugs, to patients, pharmacies or prescribers who fail to abide by the methods of
`
`the present invention”. Exhibit 1001 at 10:13-20. A similar clozapine monitoring
`
`system has been instituted at numerous other hospitals throughout the U.S., for
`
`example, see the Clozaril Patient Management System (CPMS), Exhibit 1005.
`
`The CPMS program provides for extensive counseling of patients, including
`
`meetings with physicians, psychiatric research technicians and supportive group
`
`therapy. Id. at S123.
`
`
`
`Page 5 of 27
`
`
`
`7.
`
`In my opinion, the Clozaril management systems in use in both the
`
`VA and in numerous hospitals throughout the U.S. well before August 1998, is
`
`very similar to the thalidomide monitoring and registration system set forth in
`
`claim 1. The fact that the Clozaril is a potentially lethal drug as opposed to
`
`teratogenic is not relevant. Regardless of whether a drug is lethal or teratogenic,
`
`physicians, pharmacies, pharmaceutical and companies have a fundamental
`
`obligation to protect patients that stretches back to the time of Hippocrates, “Do no
`
`harm.” The means to protect patients from harm using a computer registration
`
`system for pharmacies, patients and physicians was readily available in the 1990s.
`
`
`
`8.
`
`Powell provides guidelines for the clinical use and dispensing of
`
`thalidomide. Exhibit 1006. Specifically, pregnancy should be excluded before
`
`instituting therapy with thalidomide by a negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks
`
`prior to starting therapy. Id. at 901. Patients should be specifically excluded from
`
`treatment with thalidomide if: (i) they are unwilling to sign a consent form; (ii)
`
`unable to understand the potential risk from taking the drug or are unable to
`
`comply with prescribing instructions; (iii) the woman wishes to become pregnant;
`
`and, (iv) are women of childbearing potential who have (a) not practiced a reliable
`
`form of contraception for 1 year, (b) are unwilling to take reliable contraception or
`
`(c) are not capable of complying with these requirements. Id. Patients undergoing
`
`Page 6 of 27
`
`
`
`treatment with thalidomide should be monitored before, after and during treatment.
`
`Id. Each patient being treated with thalidomide should be given an information
`
`sheet and the physician writing the prescription must inform the patient of any
`
`contraindications, warnings and precautions associated with use of the drug. Id.
`
`
`
`9.
`
`Powell clearly sets forth methods for delivering thalidomide to
`
`patients in need of the drug while avoiding exposure of the foetus to the drug
`
`(preamble). Dishman and Bastani disclose computerized programs for registering
`
`prescribers such as physicians, pharmacies and patients, which in the case of the
`
`VA ties the hospital’s laboratory database to the outpatient pharmacy dispensing
`
`software and only allows clozapine prescriptions to be processed when certain
`
`clinical criteria are met Exhibit 1004 at 900. Powell lays out explicit guidelines
`
`for identification of women of childbearing potential. Exhibit 1006 at 901.
`
`
`
`10. Dishman, Bastani and Powell all disclose the use of comprehensive
`
`counseling to the patients both before, after and during treatment. Exhibits 1004-
`
`1006. Powell provides specific guidelines for counseling patients concerning the
`
`risks attendant to fetal exposure to said drug and states that before treatment the
`
`patient must have a negative pregnancy test. Exhibit 1006 at 901.
`
`Page 7 of 27
`
`
`
`11. The guidelines laid-out in Powell are very clear. No one wanted a
`
`repeat of the horrors seen in the 1960s when thalidomide was introduced
`
`Integrating the guidelines laid out in Powell with the clozapine computerized
`
`management systems would have been obvious to everyone, physicians,
`
`pharmacists, pharmaceutical companies and even patients. Based on the medical
`
`literature which clearly showed a decrease in both mortality and morbidity when
`
`such controls were implemented, the outcome of such an integration would not
`
`only have been entirely predictable, but also highly desirable.
`
`
`
`12. Finally, Dishman and Bastani disclose both registered pharmacies and
`
`prescribers who require authorization in order to dispense the drug. Exhibit 1004
`
`and 1005. Powell makes it clear that thalidomide should only be dispensed to a
`
`patient who is not pregnant. Exhibit 1006.
`
`
`
`13. The Clozaril systems establish computerized systems for controlling,
`
`i.e., authorizing dispensing of the drug. Adding in a requirement that a patient
`
`needs not to be pregnant before taking a teratogenic drug such as thalidomide
`
`would be an absolute requirement. One does need even need a clear teaching of
`
`this in the medical literature, but, nonetheless, Powell states the requirement
`
`explicitly, in short, do not give thalidomide to someone who is pregnant.
`
`Page 8 of 27
`
`
`
`
`
`14. As a physician, pharmacist and medical director of numerous
`
`pharmaceutical companies, it would have been obvious to me to combine Dishman
`
`and Bastani together with Powell to develop a computerized monitoring system to
`
`provide a means to monitor and authorize distribution of contraindicated drugs,
`
`including teratogenic drugs which could deny access, dispensing or prescriptions
`
`oto patients, pharmacies or prescribers who fail to comply with certain, well
`
`defined criteria. Exhibit 1007. Clearly, drugs such as clozapine, which have
`
`potentially lethal side effects are contraindicated and administration must be tightly
`
`controlled in order to avoid harming patients. Moreover, there would have been an
`
`overwhelming motivation as well as a compelling need to create such a system
`
`given the disaster with thalidomide in the early 1960s. Thus, for the reasons set
`
`forth in the paragraphs above, the combination of the computerized monitoring
`
`system drug monitoring and registration systems disclosed in Dishman and Bastani
`
`together with the guidelines in Powell would have been entirely predictable.
`
`
`
`15. With regards to claim 3, “[t]he method of claim 1 further comprising
`
`including in said registering information concerning male patients who are capable
`
`of impregnating females and including said males within said subpopulation”, it
`
`Page 9 of 27
`
`
`
`would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art to include male patients
`
`who are capable of impregnating females in the registration.
`
`
`
`16. Both physicians and pharmacists routinely limit the amounts of a drug
`
`such as thalidomide that are prescribed. Accordingly, it would have been obvious
`
`to one of ordinary skill in the art to limit prescriptions to 28 days (claim 7. “The
`
`method of claim 1 wherein said prescriptions are filled for no more than about 28
`
`days.”
`
`
`
`17. Claim 10 states the “method of claim 1 further comprising: h.
`
`providing to said patients who are capable of becoming pregnant a contraceptive
`
`device or formulation.” Powell lists as criteria for exclusion, women of
`
`childbearing potential who are not practicing reliable contraception, including,
`
`contraceptive pill or an intrauterine device. Exhibit 1006 at 900. Both
`
`contraceptive pills and intrauterine devices provide a means for practicing reliable
`
`contraception. It is very common practice in the medical field to provide drug as
`
`well as medical device samples to patients, when available. For example, as a
`
`surgical resident in 1994 and a Urological resident in 1996, I commonly gave drug
`
`samples to our clinical patients. It would therefore have been obvious to one of
`
`Page 10 of 27
`
`
`
`ordinary skill in the art to provide either a contraceptive device or formulation to a
`
`patient in order to enable them to be eligible to receive thalidomide treatment.
`
` 18. Isotretinoin, Accutane, is a vitamin A analogue that was introduced
`
`
`
`into the U.S. to treat recalcitrant acne. Exhibit 1008 at 101. Based on animal
`
`studies there was concern that the isotretinoin might be teratogenic in humans. Id.
`
`These fears proved true and as many as 30% of the exposed fetuses had
`
`devastating birth defects. Id. Instead of pulling the drug off the market, the
`
`manufacturer of the drug proposed an aggressive program to reduce the risk of
`
`pregnancy. Id. This program was implemented in 1988.
`
`“The program was targeted at both prescribers and patients. In late 1988,
`
`materials were distributed to every dermatologist and to all
`
`nondermatologists identified as prescribers of isotretinoin in the United
`
`States. The materials included guidelines for physicians (instructing them,
`
`for example, to warn patients of risks, obtain negative pregnancy tests, and
`
`delay therapy until the second or third day of the next normal menstrual
`
`period). They also included a patient-qualification checklist, an information
`
`brochure for patients, contraceptive information, information about and the
`
`necessary forms for a contraception referral program (in which the
`
`manufacturer would reimburse patients for a visit to another physician for
`
`Page 11 of 27
`
`
`
`contraceptive counseling), and a consent form. In addition, in mid-1989 the
`
`manufacturer replaced traditional medication bottles with a 10-capsule
`
`blister pack that contained information directed specifically at women: the
`
`package included warnings about the risks of becoming pregnant while
`
`taking isotretinoin or during the month after treatment, an “avoid pregnancy”
`
`icon behind each capsule, and line drawings of malformations associated
`
`with isotretinoin. The program was reinforced by periodic communications
`
`directed at prescribers and pharmacists.” Id.
`
`
`
`
`
`19.
`
`Honigfeld discloses the following information about the Clozapine
`
`national registry, which was operating throughout the 1990s.
`
`• “All data coming into the Clozapine national registry are entered into an
`
`integrated, computerized database maintained by the manufacturer”.
`
`• The national registry clears each potential candidate for clozapine therapy to
`
`reduce the chances of reexposure to the medication by persons at increased
`
`risk of developing agranulocytosis.”
`
`• Clozapine national registry mandated blood testing (WBC) and only patients
`
`with acceptable WBC could be treated. Patients must routinely have WBC
`
`tested.
`
`Page 12 of 27
`
`
`
`• The registry system outlines the responsibilities of physicians, pharmacies,
`
`patients and distributors.
`
`• Clozapine was made available only through registered treatment centers via
`
`the Clozapine national registry.
`
`• All patients must be cleared through the Clozapine national registry.
`
`Pharmacists were cleared via the Clozapine national registry. Exhibit 1009.
`
`
`
`20. Mitchell clearly sets forth that with teratogenic drugs one needs to
`
`develop or have in-place “a method for delivering a teratogenic drug to patients in
`
`need of the drug while avoiding the delivery of said drug to a foetus” with regards
`
`to isotretinoin. Exhibit 1008.
`
`
`
`21. The medical community was acutely aware of the need to put in-place
`
`a program for tightly controlling the distribution of thalidomide. Nowhere was this
`
`fact made clearer than in meetings held in 1997 by the FDA and CDC. I found the
`
`following statement from these meetings especially informative.
`
`
`
`22. Dr. Bruce Williams, one of the named inventors, acknowledged that
`
`the Clozaril management program could be used as a starting point. “Sandoz
`
`developed a program that, from a practical perspective, ensures that patients have
`
`Page 13 of 27
`
`
`
`had their white blood counts taken prior to the dispensing of their next
`
`prescription, and that those white blood count numbers are in the appropriate
`
`range.” (Exhibit 1010 (a) at 112).
`
`
`
`23. Next, Dr. Bergfeld recommended the system (STEPS) “What I would
`
`like to recommend is that registry for the physician include that they have signed
`
`off on an informed consent that they have been informed about the information,
`
`they have read it, and they agree to participate in that manner. ” Dr. Williams then
`
`responded “That is reasonable.” (Exhibit 1010 (a) at 121).
`
`
`
`24. Dr. Woodcock from the FDA stated “the need to impose a mandatory
`
`restriction, under regulation, depends on our judgment of whether that is necessary
`
`to ensure the safety of the product. So, it really depends on how safe we feel the
`
`safety would be under a voluntary system or whatever safety is available compared
`
`to the need for additional safety that would merit, that would require for approval a
`
`restricted distribution.” (Exhibit 1010(a) at 220).
`
`
`
`25. Finally, Dr. Williams stated that, “[t]he other thing is that the way the
`
`system is being developed, it would be designed to utilize some of the systems that
`
`are currently in place within pharmacy practice where there are central computer
`
`Page 14 of 27
`
`
`
`databases that pharmacists log in and out on when they are filling prescriptions. A
`
`portion of one of those databases will be carved out to actually have the pharmacist
`
`tracking and recording information on this patient so that we’d be in a position to
`
`monitor that the pharmacist was in fact complying with the program.” (Exhibit
`
`1010(b) at 159).
`
`
`
`26. The CDC Meeting held in March clearly articulated that the FDA was
`
`looking at other drug monitoring programs as guidance on how to manage
`
`Thalidomide distribution. These programs, included: (i) restricted distribution
`
`(Fentanyl, Oralet); (ii) limited quantity(Clozaril); (iii) consent (Accutane,
`
`Felbatol); (iv) laboratory testing (Clozaril/ requiring a white blood count); (v)
`
`registry (AZT, Acyclovir); and, (vi) patient/provider education (Accutane).
`
`Further, the use of “informed consent form details the birth defects caused by
`
`thalidomide, as well as other side effects of the drug…[describing] birth control
`
`measures that should be used by men and women taking the drug” was also
`
`discussed. Exhibit 1011 at 8.
`
`
`
`27. Thus, claims 1-10 would have been obvious to me over Mitchell in
`
`view of Honigfeld, the FDA Meeting, the CDC Meeting and Powell to develop a
`
`computerized monitoring system to provide a means to monitor and authorize
`
`Page 15 of 27
`
`
`
`distribution of contraindicated drugs, including teratogenic drugs which could deny
`
`access, dispensing or prescriptions to patients, pharmacies or prescribers who fail
`
`to comply with certain, well defined criteria. All of this information was readily
`
`available to the medical community in the 1990s. The overwhelming clinical
`
`importance for putting together a computerized registry to control distribution of
`
`thalidomide was clearly articulated by the FDA, the CDC and the medical
`
`literature. The need for development of a computerized registry for thalidomide
`
`like what was done for clozapine in the 1990s was clear. The means to build such
`
`a computerized registry were readily available in the 1990s. The combination of
`
`the computerized registry, counseling and the identification of various at-risk
`
`subpopulations, such as pregnant women would have been obvious to one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art and the outcome of such a combination entirely predictable.
`
`
`
`28.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein 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 the knowledge
`
`that willful false 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 issuing thereon.

`intellectual property for Colcrys®, created vast wealth for the owners of
`URL upon Takeda’s purchase of URL Pharma.
`
`Corporate Strategy: At the time of hiring, there were over 2,000
`unapproved drugs marketed in the US. URL identified colchicine as a
`drug it desired to obtain approval, but had no NDA experience.
`
` Ø
`
` Major contributor to the success of Colcrys®, which led to the sale of
`URL Pharma ($800,000,000 upfront payment by Takeda).
`o Was single member of Clinical / Medical / Pharmacovigilance
