`
`
`
`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 26
`
`
`
`
`
`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 and 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 registered
`
`pharmacist, R.Ph, as well as a licensed physician.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Since 1998, I have directed clinical development and medical affairs
`
`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. 6,315,720, its file history as well as
`
`the prior art cited in the Petition: (i) Powell et al. (Postgrad. Med. J. 70:901 (1994),
`
`Page 3 of 26
`
`
`
`(“Powell”), Exhibit 1002); (ii) Dishman et al. (Am. J. Hosp. Pharm 51: 899 (1994),
`
`(“Dishman”), Exhibit 1003); (iii) Bastani et al. (Psychopharmacology 99:S122
`
`(1989), (Bastani”), Exhibit 1004); (iv) Mitchell et al. (New England J. Med.
`
`333(2):101 (1995), (“Mitchell”), Exhibit 1007); (v) Honigfeld (Psychiatric
`
`Services 47:52 (1996), (“Honigfeld”), Exhibit 1008); (vi) the 47th Meeting of the
`
`Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Advisory Board (September 4-5, 1997, (the “FDA
`
`Meeting”), Exhibit 1005 (a) and (b)); and (ix) CDC Meeting (Centers for Disease
`
`Control, Preventing Birth Defects, March 26, 1997, (the “CDC Meeting”), Exhibit
`
`1006).
`
`
`
`6.
`
`The medical community was acutely aware of the need to put in-place
`
`a program for tightly controlling the distribution of drugs causing adverse side
`
`effects. In fact, there were numerous drug dispensing and restriction programs in
`
`place in the mid to late 1990’s, including: (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). Exhibit 1006 at 8. I
`
`found the following statements from FDA and CDC meetings held in 1997
`
`especially informative.
`
`
`
`Page 4 of 26
`
`
`
`7.
`
`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, “[t]hat is reasonable.” (Exhibit 1005(a) at 121).
`
`
`
`8.
`
`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 1005(a) at 220).
`
`
`
`9.
`
`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
`
`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
`
`Page 5 of 26
`
`
`
`monitor that the pharmacist was in fact complying with the program.” (Exhibit
`
`1005(b) at 159).
`
`
`
`10. Dishman describes a clozapine prescription program instituted by the
`
`Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). (Dishman) Exhibit 1003, Abstract.
`
`Clozapine is an antipsychotic drug. A National Clozapine Coordinating Center
`
`(NCCC) was established in 1994 that required each hospital dispensing clozapine
`
`to have a computerized clozapine prescription lockout system, which ties the
`
`hospital’s laboratory database to the outpatient pharmacy dispensing software. Id.
`
`at 900. The program only allows clozapine prescriptions to be processed when the
`
`white blood 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.
`
`
`
`Page 6 of 26
`
`
`
`11. 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) as described by Bastani, Exhibit 1004. The CPMS
`
`program provides for extensive counseling of patients, including meetings with
`
`physicians, psychiatric research technicians and supportive group therapy. Id. at
`
`S123. Honigfeld also discusses the Clozapine national registry, which was
`
`operating throughout the 1990s, maintaining all patient, physician, pharmacy data
`
`in an integrated, computerized database. Exhibit 1008, at 53. Dishman, Bastani
`
`and Honigfeld disclose the requirement that patient data is maintained in a
`
`computerized storage medium, and prescriptions are distributed only by registered
`
`pharmacies when patients’ white blood cell counts (taken weekly) are within an
`
`acceptable range. Exhibit 1003, at 900; Exhibit 1004 at S123; Exhibit 1008, at 53.
`
`
`
` 12.
`
`In my opinion, the Clozaril management systems which was in use in
`
`both the VA and in numerous hospitals throughout the U.S. well before August
`
`1998, is very similar to the method for delivering a drug to a patient while avoiding
`
`the occurrence of an adverse side effect in which prescriptions are filled only after
`
`a computer database has been consulted, as set forth in claims 1 and 28.
`
`
`
`13. Similarly, Powell sets forth methods for delivering thalidomide, a
`
`Page 7 of 26
`
`
`
`drug causing severe adverse side effects and birth defects to patients in need of the
`
`drug while avoiding the side effects known or suspected to be associated with the
`
`drug. Exhibit 1002.
`
`
`
`14. Powell discloses the need for testing, i.e. pregnancy testing, of
`
`patients prior to the clinical use and dispensing of thalidomide. Exhibit 1002. It
`
`also discloses the importance of fully informed consent prior to delivering
`
`thalidomide to patients, and continued monitoring throughout treatment, including
`
`recordation of adverse events. Id. Powell provides specific guidelines for
`
`counseling patients before, during and after treatment, concerning the risks
`
`attendant to fetal exposure to said drug and states that before treatment the patient
`
`must have a negative pregnancy test. Exhibit 1002 at 901. Dishman and
`
`Honigfeld also disclose extensive screening, interviewing and evaluation of
`
`patients prior to clearance for clozapine therapy. Exhibit 1003, at 900; Exhibit
`
`1006 at 53. The CDC looked to, and recognized key aspects of programs such as
`
`the clozapine registry when discussing steps that needed to be taken to protect
`
`against the severe adverse events associated with thalidomide administration.
`
`Exhibit 1006 at 8.
`
`
`
`Page 8 of 26
`
`
`
`15. Mitchell describes another program for the restricted use of
`
`isotretinoin, or “Accutane”, which is used for the treatment of severe recalcitrant
`
`cystic acne, but was found to be teratogenic in humans. The program was instituted
`
`in 1988. Exhibit 1007, at 101. Similar to the programs set in place for thalidomide
`
`and clozapine, the program established for isotretinoin clearly describes “a method
`
`for delivering a drug to a patient in need of the drug while avoiding the occurrence
`
`of an adverse side effect known or suspected of being caused by said drug”.
`
`Mitchell describes patient qualification checklists and brochures, contraceptive
`
`information and a contraception referral program, a consent form, and the need for
`
`pregnancy testing of patients that may be administered the drug. Id. The program
`
`was reinforced by periodic communications directed at prescribers and
`
`pharmacists. Id.
`
`
`
`
`
`16. Physicians, pharmacies, and pharmaceutical companies have a
`
`fundamental obligation to protect patients that stretches back to the time of
`
`Hippocrates, “Do no harm.” It is very clear that by the time the patent application
`
`was filed in October 2000, the means to protect patients from harm using a
`
`computer registration system for pharmacies, patients and physicians was readily
`
`available.
`
`
`
`Page 9 of 26
`
`
`
`17.
`
`It would have been obvious to me to combine the teachings of Powell
`
`with Dishman, Bastani, in view of the FDA and CDC Meetings, because each
`
`describes methods directed to protecting patients from side effects of dangerous
`
`drugs, and the government’s overwhelming and compelling understanding that risk
`
`mitigation systems were necessary to protect the public from dangers associated
`
`with approved drugs. Anyone in the pharmaceutical industry that worked closely
`
`with the FDA at that time, which I did, knew that establishing risk mitigation
`
`programs for dangerous drugs required extesnive communication with the FDA,
`
`evaluating the pros and cons of what had been done in the past for similar drug
`
`products (e.g. drug products used for the same indications or with similar adverse
`
`event profiles) and what could be done better going forward to protect patients. It
`
`is not a question of whether the combination of teachings was predictable, it was
`
`clearly predictable; it is a question of which drug risk mitigation programs to look
`
`to for guidance on establishing the method of the ‘720 patent. There were many
`
`programs in place, all the steps were there Thus, it was merely a matter of picking
`
`and choosing the elements that were readily available to the medical community
`
`and then combining them in an entirely predictable manner.
`
`
`
`18.
`
`I come to the same conclusion with respect to combining the
`
`teachings of Mitchell, Honigfeld, and the FDA and CDC Meetings. As discussed
`
`Page 10 of 26
`
`
`
`above, all of the “steps” of the claims in the ‘720 patent are plainly outlined in the
`
`references. The motivation to put the steps together are clear from the
`
`overwhelming need to protect the public from the clear and present dangers
`
`associated with drugs having adverse event profiles. Moreover, the roadmap
`
`forward was laid-out from programs set in-place for clozapine and isotretinoin.
`
`
`
`19. With regards to the diagnostic testing set forth in claims 7 through 10,
`
`as a physician and pharmacist, I frequently ordered blood tests, and/or consulted
`
`patient records, prior to prescribing a drug. For example, in patients on diuretics, it
`
`is the standard of care to check potassium levels prior to prescribing digoxin to
`
`avoid arrhythmias. In pharmacy school in 1987, it was taught that prior to
`
`dispensing phenytoin to the elderly or infirm, a check of the serum albumin level
`
`must be ordered. Phenytoin is a narrow therapeutic index drug that is highly
`
`protein bound. This means that the Michaelis-Menten equation for saturable
`
`pharmacokinetics (which requires albumin levels) is needed in order to safely dose
`
`patients with low albumin levels. In fact, I programed my Radio Shack® computer
`
`to calculate corrected phenytoin dosing in light of hypoalbuminemia using the
`
`Michaelis-Menten equation in the late 1980’s. Thus, it is of the utmost importance
`
`to understand a patient’s health and drug history for proper drug administration, to
`
`avoid known or suspected adverse events. It has long been common practice to
`
`Page 11 of 26
`
`
`
`request or consult diagnostic tests, including pregnancy testing and genetic testing,
`
`prior to determining a patient’s risk associated with a potential drug, and deciding
`
`whether or not the drug is safe to prescribe. In the case of Accutane, for example,
`
`doctors would frequently advise that monthly pregnancy tests should be taken
`
`when patients are on drugs that could potentially harm the fetus. In general, drugs
`
`do not distribute uniformily in the body - a one compartment pharmacokinetic
`
`model. If a drug evenly disturbed throughout the body, blood levels would be
`
`entirely predictive of tissue levels, which is no the case. In fact, many drugs are
`
`preferentially absorbed by certain body tissues. In these multi-compartment
`
`models, blood levels are not predictive of tissue distribution. As such, it is also
`
`important to perform diagnostic testing that would be predictive of drug levels in
`
`various tissues of interest.
`
`
`
`20. Similarly, with respect to claims 15 through 19, follow up diagnostic
`
`testing, patient interviews and, importantly for women of childbearing age,
`
`pregnancy testing on a regular basis, is a matter of routine practice, and obvious, in
`
`the course of prescribing drugs to a patient.
`
`
`
`21. With respect to claim 20, it is very common practice in the medical
`
`field to provide drug and medical device samples to patients, when available. As a
`
`Page 12 of 26
`
`
`
`surgical resident in 1994 and a Urological resident in 1996, I commonly gave drug
`
`samples to our clinical patients.
`
`
`
`22. With respect to claim 27, it would have been obvious to one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art to limit prescriptions to 28 days for teratogenic drugs, as
`
`this was, and is, standard practice in the industry. Physicians prescribe in units of
`
`30 days and 28 days guarantees follow up will not occur on weekends.
`
`
`
`23. Adverse side effects occurring as a result of concomitant drug use,
`
`also termed “drug-drug interactions” are unfortunately common, and frequently
`
`lethal. In fact, the Federal Food and Drug Administration requires that “Drug
`
`Interactions” be reported on all drug product package inserts, and that warnings be
`
`included as to the nature and extent of drug interactions. As stated above, it is
`
`necessary to consult a patient’s medical history, conduct patient interviews, and to
`
`request or consult diagnostic tests prior to determining a patient’s risk associated
`
`with a potential drug, deciding whether or not the drug is safe to prescribe,
`
`particularly when the patient takes multiple drugs, and to check drug levels on a
`
`regular basis for the purpose of determining whether any dosage adjustments are
`
`required. In fact, the FDA’s published guidance on labeling for human
`
`prescription drugs requires dosing and administration instructions for concomitant
`
`Page 13 of 26
`
`
`
`therapy. See U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug
`
`Administration, Guidance for Industry – Labeling for Human Prescription Drug
`
`and Biological Products – Implementing the PLR Content and Format
`
`Requirements (February 2013). I was writing drug package inserts with
`
`concomitant therapy warnings in the 1990s, as this FDA requirement has been in
`
`place for a long time.
`
`
`
`24. Regarding the use of facsimile for transmitting data to a computerized
`
`database maintaining patient records, the use of optical character recognition
`
`software to interpret faxed data records, and calling patients on the telephone, for
`
`follow-up or to collect additional patient data, as claimed in claims 6 and 17 of the
`
`‘720 patent, were practiced long before October 23, 2000. We used OCR fax
`
`technology and patient callback systems at Endo Pharmaceuticals (Algos) prior to
`
`2000 in our clinical trials to collect patient data. These were standard practices in
`
`the pharmaceutical development industry at that time.
`
`
`
`25. Thus, 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 drugs capable of adverse
`
`side effects, particularly those with the potential for birth defects and fatalities, was
`
`Page 14 of 26
`
`
`
`clearly articulated by the FDA, the CDC and the medical literature. The need for
`
`development of a method of delivering a drug that enhances patient safety using a
`
`computerized registry, like those done for clozapine, isotretinoin, and even the
`
`recommendations for restricted use of thalidomide evidenced in Powell was clear
`
`long before 2000. The means to build such a computerized registry were readily
`
`available in the 1990s, as evidenced by the clozapine national registry. A
`
`computerized registry, counseling, the identification of various at-risk
`
`subpopulations, and diagnostic testing to avoid adverse events and side effects was
`
`already in place for more than one dangerous drug and as discussed above, it
`
`would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art based on other available
`
`programs, and required by the FDA, that available methodologies for risk
`
`mitigation be researched and if necessary implemented, prior to drug approval.
`
