`
`DOCU~IENTS AND INFORI\1ATION CONSIDERED IN FORMING
`OPINIONS
`
`5.
`
`Under my direction and control, BioScience Laboratories, Inc.
`
`conducted a Preservative Effectiveness 'Test ("PET") to evaluate and determine the
`
`antimicrobial preservatives effectiveness of several samples challenged with
`
`resistant microorganisms. In reviewing the PET results, I had available to me l:he
`
`documents cited herein as well as the publications listed on my curriculum vitae at
`
`EX2l29. The data tables for the PET were created using the raw data collected by
`
`the Study Director, Dan M. Dragotoiu, who conducted this comparative study and
`
`who holds a B.S. degree and has over ten years of professional and academic
`
`experience in the area of microbiology.

`III. STATEIV1ENT OF OPINIONS EXPRESSED AND BASES AND
`REASONS THEREI•'OR
`
`A.
`
`6.
`
`Background
`
`BioScience Laboratories, Inc. received from SSCI samples of Bausch
`
`& Lomb Incorporated's ( .. B+L's") Prolensa@ product for PET. Upon receipt of
`
`these samples, BioScience Laboratories, Inc. stored, handled, and maint:'lined
`
`according to BioScience Laboratories, Inc.'s current good manufacturing practice
`
`("GMl1
`
`") sample handling procedures as specit1caiiy outlined in their SOP L-0005.
`
`These samples were evaluated for preservative efficacy during the months of
`
`November 2015 and January 2016. BioScience Laboratories Study Director, Dan
`
`M. Dragotoiu, was personally present during the preservative efficacy testing of
`
`these samples.
`
`7.
`
`A summary report of the preservative eft1cacy testing conducted by
`
`BioScience Laboratories, Inc. on these samples is attached as Appendix A. The
`
`report describes the analytical methodology to evaluate preservative efficacy of
`
`stressed and unstressed samples of B+L's Pro1ensa® product The preservative
`
`efficacy results are reported in the document for all of the samples tested.
`
`8.
`
`BioScience Laboratories,
`
`Inc.
`
`is a Good Laboratory Practice
`
`("GLP")/GMP facility providing contract product development services to the
`
`pharmaceutical industry. BioScience Laboratories, Inc.'s service offerings include,
`
`but are not Iirnited to analytical testing (e.g., preservative efficacy), product

`
`
`
`development, and manufactures label claims. The preservative efficacy testing of
`
`the B+L's Prolensa® product samples was performed in BioScience Laboratories,
`
`Inc.'s GLP/GMP In-Vitro laboratory.
`
`9.
`
`The details of the analytical testing that was performed and the
`
`preservative efficacy test results obtained were provided to SSCI for incorporation
`
`in the SSCI report (Appendix A).
`
`B.
`
`Preservative Efficacy Testing ofB+L's Prolensa® product
`
`10. As discussed above, samples of B+L's Prolensa® product were
`
`analyzed for preservative efficacy. Consistent with the
`
`'813 patent,
`
`the
`
`preservative effectiveness tests were conducted based on the methods described in
`
`the European Pharmacopoeia, using the two bacterial species Pseudomonas
`
`aeruginosa (ATCC #9027) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC #6538), and the
`
`two fungal species Candida albicans (ATCC #10231) and Aspergillus brasiliensis
`
`(ATCC #16404).
`
`As indicated in the '813 patent, the preservative effectiveness of the vials were
`
`evaluated at the following times: 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 28 days following
`
`inoculation with the two bacterial species, and 14 days, 21 days and 28 days
`
`Page 5 of29
`
`5
`
`
`
`following inoculation with the two fungal species. t (EX2267 at 8.) At these time
`
`points, and after further incubation at the appropriate temperature using the
`
`appropriate agar medium for each species, the colonies on the plates were counted.
`
`(EX2267 at 8-9.)
`
`11.
`
`Some aspects of the method used in this study varied slightly from the
`
`European Pharmacopoeia to account for the low volume of available test products
`
`that Lupin and InnoPharma provided, which were tested at the same time with the
`
`B+L' s Prolensa'19 product Still, the test methods are consistent with the '813
`
`patent and scientillcally valid, and the results obtained are accurate, as further
`
`described below.
`
`12.
`
`For this study, the test products were transferred from the original
`
`containers to sterilized vials to ensure the accuracy of the volumes and to maintain
`
`sterility of the
`
`test products at the various
`
`time points.
`
`The European
`
`Pharmacopoeia docs not require using the containers of the test products.
`
`Recognizing tbat there may be times when the test products are not chal.lenged in
`
`their final containers. the European Pharmacopoeia states that "the test consists of
`
`challenging the preparation, wherever pos.vible in its final container, with a
`
`The additional data taken at 21 days conforms to the '813 patent (EX1003 at
`
`9:41-50), and further confirms the validity of the results of the preservative
`
`effectiveness testing.

`
`
`
`prescribed
`
`inoculum of suitable miero-organisrns, storing
`
`the
`
`inoculated
`
`preparation at a prescribed temperature, withdrawing samples from the container at
`
`specified imerva1s of time and counting the organism in the samples so removed."
`
`(EX2295 at 505, emphasis added.) Indeed, in the previous paragraph, it also states
`
`that the antimicrobial activity "rnay" be demonstrated by the described test,
`
`making it clear that the exact conditions of the test can be modified, when
`
`appropriate, and still elucidate a formulation's preservative efficacy.
`
`(!d.) For
`
`example, the European Phannacopoeia allows for different challenge species to be
`
`used and provides a subjective evaluation for the sporulation obtained in the
`
`growth of cultures. Ud. at 506, left col., n. 1-23.) Therefore, the use of sterilized
`
`vials for the test products was acceptable for this study.
`
`C.
`
`Reported Preservative Efficacy Testing Results are Reliable
`
`1. Measurement at the Time J>oinl~ Required by the
`Patent were 1\tlade
`
`13. As discussed above, the preservative effectiveness of the vials were
`
`evaluated at the following times: 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days and 28 days :follo\ving
`
`inoculation with the two bacterial species, and 14 days, 21 days and 28 days
`
`following inoculation with the two fungal species. (EX2267 at 8.) The tests were
`
`conducted consistent with the '813 patent specification, which do not require data
`
`at the zero hour time point (See, EX I 003 at 9:43-50.) Nor is the zero hour time
`
`point a required time point for the EP~criteria B standard as specified in Table
`
`Page 7 of29
`
`7
`
`
`
`5.1.3.-l. (EX2295 at 506.) In any event, we determined the initial inoculum count,
`
`which was provided in the BSL Final Letter Repmt. (EX2267 at 25-29.) The Jack
`
`of data for the zero hour time point, therefore, would not have any effect on the
`
`accuracy of the results obtained for other data points.
`
`2.
`
`Neutralization Validation \:Vas Properly Conducted
`
`a.
`
`1\llicroorganisms "Verc Properly Added to the
`Test Product
`
`14. Consistent with the method described in the European Pharmacopoeia,
`
`a 1 m] aliquot of test product was added to 9 rnl of the diluent (neutralizer) prior to
`
`the addition of the organism. Thereafter
`
`Moreover, the microbial recoveries
`
`from these neutralized test products were within a factor of 2 of the recoveries
`
`from the controls, consistent with what is set forth in the European Pharmacopoeia.
`
`(EX2295 at 164-165.)
`
`Page 8 of29
`
`8
`
`
`
`b.
`
`Inoculum Count for A. niger
`
`15.
`
`The inoculum counts for some samples with A niger (also known as
`
`A. brasiliensis) for the test products used in the neut.ralization validation test were
`
`slightly outside the range of the CFUs recommended by the method described in
`
`the European Pharmacopoeia. In all instances. however, the counts recovered from
`
`the test product used in the neutralization validation test did not differ by more
`
`than a factor of 2 from the control, as pennitted by the European Pharmacopoeia.
`
`(EX2295 at 165, Section 4-5-3 and 4-6.) Thus the slight variation in CFUs from
`
`the data obtained :from the test products .in the neutralization validation test met the
`
`above criteria set forth i.n 4-5-2 of the European Pharmacopoeia. Furthermore, the
`
`recovered populations of A. niger from the test products were not more than 0.3
`
`logw higher than that of the range set forth in the European Pharmacopoeia, which
`
`is an insignificant difference.
`
`c.
`
`Incubation Time for Some Bacterial Samples
`
`16.
`
`The incubation period was longer than the time period set forth in the
`
`European Pharmacopoeia. A prolonged incubation does not decrease the number of
`
`colonies as the incubation continues. Moreover, the plate counts obtained do not
`
`exceed countable ranges per SOP L-2059. (EX2294.)
`
`Page 9 of29
`
`9
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Preservative Effectiveness Test was Properly
`Conducted
`
`a.
`
`Initial Inoculum Concentrations were Within
`the Range Allowed by the European
`Pharmacopoeia
`
`17. The European Pharmacopoeia sets forth the use of "an inoculum of
`
`105 to 106 micro-organisms per millilitre or per gram of the preparation." (EX2295
`
`at 506.)
`
`the inoculum concentrations for all of the
`
`microorganisms were within the required range of inoculum concentrations, as
`
`specified in the European Pharmacopoeia. (EX2267 at 41.) In any event, a high
`
`inoculum concentration just challenges the preservative effectiveness of the
`
`formulation to a greater extent. Eradicating that challenge at the data time
`
`intervals recited in the '813 patent further confirms the preservative effectiveness
`
`of the tested formulations.
`
`b.
`
`Incubation Times Were Aligned with the
`Protocol and/or With Validated Procedures
`
`18. The preliminary counts as well as the final counts were recorded on
`
`the Antimicrobial Effectiveness Testing Data Sheets. (See, e.g., EX2267 at 44.)
`
`which the counts changed from the preliminary to the final counting dates, those
`10
`
`Page 10 of29
`
`In instances in
`
`
`
`additional plate counts were
`
`which the counts changed from the preliminary to the final counting dates, those
`
`additional plate counts were recorded. In this example,
`
`4.
`
`Deviations from the Protocol or Standard Operating
`Procedures in the BSL Testing Did Not Impact the
`Results
`
`19.
`
`In my opinion, any deviations from
`
`the Protocol or Standard
`
`Operating Procedures would not have compromised the accuracy or validity of the
`
`results obtained.
`
`a.
`
`Temperature of Molten Agar Did Not Affect the
`Results
`
`20. Although the temperatures for molten agar were slightly higher than
`
`the recommended temperature of 45°C according to the European Pharmacopoeia
`
`(EX2295 at 165),
`
`ld not have had an adverse effect on any of the microbial species
`
`tested for this study.
`
`Page 11 of29
`
`11
`
`
`
`variation on these two identified days vvould not be expected to adversely affect the
`
`But in the end, this very slight temperature
`
`microbial species tested.
`
`b.
`
`There was Adequate Monitoring of Incubation
`Temperature for the Test Period
`
`21. The incubation was documented to be within the required ranges,
`
`despite that the electronic temperature monitoring system was not in operation
`
`from 11/19/15 to 11129/15.
`
`Furthermore, the electronic temperature monitoring system was
`
`back in operation beginning 11129/15. In any event, the incubators did not have
`
`any technical issues and were functioning during the time period at issue, and the
`
`temperatures would have remained within the required range of 30-35°C.
`
`c.
`
`Use of Different Medium During Neutralization
`Validation Docs Not Invalidate the Obtained
`Test Results for Both Fungi
`
`22. The media used for each test date for the various microorganisms are
`
`documented in the Media/Diluent Tracking Forms, which confirms compliance
`
`Page 12 of29
`
`12
`
`
`
`with the testing protocol. (EX2267 at 11; EX2275.) The same media was used for
`
`the neutralization validation test and the preservative effectiveness test for the test
`
`products.
`
`23. With respect to C. albicans and A. niger. Media/Diluent Tracking
`
`Forms document the media used on 11/30/15 in which the neutralization was
`
`conducted.
`
`states the use of the TSA+ media for the neutralization validation,
`
`Therefore, although section 12.8
`
`Page 13 of29
`
`13
`
`
`
`immediately apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art and does not impact
`
`This typographic error would have been
`
`the validity of the results obtained.
`
`24.
`
`can be observed by the tester--"or until good sporulation is obtained." Moreover,
`
`the EP 7.0 at 506 confinns
`
`According
`
`to Table 2.6.12.-l
`
`Pharmacopoeia, either SDA media or PDA media could be used for the cultivation
`
`of A. niger. (EX2295 at 164.)

`
`I. SUMMARY
`
`Bromfenac sodium ophthalmic solution dmg products were sourced from Senju. A portion of
`the samples was used for unstressed (as received) analysis, and the remaining samples were
`stressed in an oven for four (4) weeks at 60°C. Samples from both the unstressed and stressed
`conditions were evaluated for potency and preservative efficacy.
`
`Potency was determined by HPLC with UV detection as detailed in Section IV.A. Percent
`recovery (percent initial) was calculated based on the potency after stress conditions relative to
`that of the unstressed sample. See Table 1 for the unstressed (as received) HPLC data and Table
`2 for the stressed sample HPLC data.
`
`Preservative efficacy was evaluated by BioScience Laboratories, Inc. Samples were evaluated
`for preservative efficacy as guided in the EP Preservative Effectiveness Test Method against the
`following organisms: Candida albicans (AATCC# 10231), Aspergillus niger (AATCC# 16404,
`also referred to as Aspergillus brasiliensis), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AATCC# 9027) and
`Staphylococcus aureus (AATCC# 6538).
`See Section V for the detailed experimental
`information.
`
`Section II contains results for both potency and preservative efficacy.
`
`II. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

`IV. EXPERIMENTAL
`
`A. HPLC Method
`
`HPLC analyses were performed using an Agilent 1100 series liquid chromatograph equipped
`with a diode array detector, degasser, quaternary pump, and autosamp1er. The chromatographic
`column was a Shiseido Capcell Pak C18, 2.1 x 100.0 mm column with 5.0 J.lm packing. The
`column temperature was set to 25°C, and the detector wavelength was 266 nm. The injection
`volume was 5.0 J.lL. The mobile phase was prepared by dissolving 7.9231 g of ammonium
`dihydrogen phosphate into 3000 mL of water, adding phosphoric acid to adjust the pH to 7.30,
`and then mixing in 1000 mL of acetonitrile. The flow rate used was 1.5 mL!minute, with a run
`time of 13 minutes per injection. Method performance was monitored for the following criteria,
`with the listed range of results.
