`
`Amendments to the Specification
`
`Please replace page 1, lines 5-10 of the specification filed herewith with the following
`
`amended paragraph:
`
`This application is a continuation of copending U.S. Application Serial No.
`
`13/961,835 filed August 7, 2013, which is a continuation of copending U.S. Application
`
`Serial No. 11/897,177, filed August 28, 2007, which is a continuation ofU.S. Application
`
`Serial No. 10/927,857, filed August 27, 2004, now abandoned, which claimed the benefit
`
`ofU.S. Provisional Application No. 60/503,137 filed September 15, 2003, which-is are
`
`incorporated in its their entirety herein by reference.
`
`Please replace page 4, line 25- page 5, line 3 of the specification filed herewith with the
`
`following amended paragraph:
`
`The present methods are useful in treating any suitable condition which is
`
`therapeutically sensitive to or treatable with cyclosporin components. Such conditions
`
`preferably are ophthalmic or ocular conditions, that is relating to or having to do with one
`
`or more parts of an eye of a human or animal. Included among such conditions are,
`
`without limitation, dry eye syndrome, phacoanaphy 1 actic endophthalmitis, uveitis, vernal
`
`conjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, corneal graft rejection and the like conditions.
`
`The present invention is particularly effective in treating dry eye syndrome. Cyclosporin
`
`has been found as effective in treating immune mediated keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS
`
`or dry eye disease) in a patient suffering therefrom. The activity of cyclosporins is as an
`
`immunosuppressant and in the enhancement or restoring of lacrimal gland tearing. Other
`
`conditions that can be treated with cyclosporin components include an absolute or partial
`
`deficiency in aqueous tear production (keratoconjunctivitis sicca, or KCS). Topical
`
`administration to a patient's tear deficient eye can increase tear production in the eye. The
`
`treatment can further serve to correct corneal and conjunctival disorders exacerbated by
`
`tear deficiency and KCS, such as corneal scarring, corneal ulceration, inflammation of
`
`the cornea or conjunctiva, filamentary keratisis, mucopurulent discharge and
`
`vascularization of the cornea.

`
`Amendments to the claims
`
`The following list of claims will replace all previous versions of claims presented
`
`in this application:
`
`1. - 36. (Canceled)
`
`3 7. (New) A method of increasing tear production in the eye of a human, the method
`
`comprising topically administering to the eye of the human an emulsion at a frequency of
`
`twice a day, wherein the emulsion comprises cyclosporin A in an amount of about 0.05%
`
`by weight, polysorbate 80, Pemulen, water, and castor oil in an amount of about 1.25%
`
`by weight; and
`
`wherein the topical ophthalmic emulsion is effective in increasing tear production.
`
`38. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion further comprises a tonicity
`
`agent or a demulcent component.
`
`39. (New) The method of Claim 38, wherein the tonicity agent or the demulcent
`
`component is glycerine.
`
`40. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion further comprises a buffer.
`
`41. (New) The method of Claim 40, wherein the buffer is sodium hydroxide.
`
`42. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the topical ophthalmic emulsion further
`
`comprises glycerine and a buffer.
`
`43. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion comprises polysorbate 80 in an
`
`amount of about 1.0% by weight.
`
`3
`
`Apotex 1019, pg. 1389
`
`
`
`Docket No. 17618CON7B (AP)
`
`44. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion comprises Pemulen in an
`
`amount of about 0.05% by weight.
`
`45. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion further comprises glycerine in
`
`an amount of about 2.2% by weight and a buffer.
`
`46. (New) The method of Claim 45, wherein the buffer is sodium hydroxide.
`
`47. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein, when the emulsion is administered to an
`
`eye of a human in an effective amount in treating KCS, the blood of the human has
`
`substantially no detectable concentration of cyclosporin A.
`
`48. (New) The method of Claim 42, wherein the emulsion has a pH in the range of about
`
`7.2 to about 7.6.
`
`49. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion is as substantially
`
`therapeutically effective as an emulsion comprising cyclosporin A in an amount of 0.1%
`
`by weight and castor oil in an amount of 1.25% by weight.
`
`50. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion achieves at least as much
`
`therapeutic effectiveness as an emulsion comprising cyclosporin A in an amount of0.1%
`
`by weight and castor oil in an amount of 1.25% by weight.
`
`51. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion breaks down more quickly in
`
`the eye of a human, once administered to the eye of the human, thereby reducing vision
`
`distortion in the eye of the human as compared to an emulsion that contains only 50% as
`
`much castor oil.
`
`52. (New) The method of Claim 37, wherein the emulsion, when administered to the eye
`
`of a human, demonstrates a reduction in adverse events in the human, relative to an
`
`4
`
`Apotex 1019, pg. 1390
`

`
`eye of a human in an effective amount in treating KCS, the blood of the human has
`
`substantially no detectable concentration of the cyclosporin A.
