`
`(b)
`
`Pursuant to M.P.E.P. § 2753 and 37 C.F.R. § 1.740(a)(9), the following
`explanation is provided which shows how at least one of the above-listed claims
`of the ‘840 patent claim the approved product.
`
`(1)
`
`Description of the approved product
`
`The name of the approved product is KADCYLATM. The name of the active
`ingredient of KADCYLAT.M is ado—trastuzumab emtansine. Ado-trastuzumab
`emtansine is a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate which contains the
`humanized anti-HERZ IgGl, trastuzumab, covalently linked to the microtubule
`inhibitory drug DMl (the maytansine derivative Nzi—deacetyl-Nzi-(3-mercapto-1-
`oxopropyl)—maytansine) via the stable thioether linker MCC (4-[N-
`maleimidomethyl] cyclohexane-l-carboxylate). See Description section of
`product label, provided as Attachment B.
`
`pa- I 580256
`
`The antibody trastuzumab, is a well characterized recombinant monoclonal
`antibody product produced by mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary) cells, and the
`small molecule components (DM1 and MCC) are produced by chemical
`synthesis. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine contains an average of 3.5 DMI molecules
`per antibody. Id.
`‘
`
`Ado-trastuzumab emtansine-has the following chemical structure:
`
`n
`
`Where n ~ 3.5
`DM1/Mab
`
`The bracketed structure is DMl plus MCC which represents the emtansine
`component. The n is, on average, 3.5 DMl molecules per trastuzumab (Mab)
`molecule. .Ia’.

`I Patent No.: 7,097,840
`
`Docket No.: 146392019700
`Client Ref. No.: 10813
`
`Explanation regarding claim 1 ofthe ‘840 patent relative to ado-
`(2)
`trastuzumab emtansine
`
`‘ Claim 1 of the ‘840 patent reads:
`
`“A method for the treatment of a tumor in a mammal, comprising the steps of (1)
`identifying said tumor as being characterized by overexpression of an ErbBZ
`receptor and as being a tumor that does not respond, or responds poorly, to
`treatment with an anti-ErbBZ antibody which binds to the 4D5 epitope and which
`has a growth inhibitory effect on SK-BR-3 cells, and (ii) administering to a
`mammal having said tumor a therapeutically effective amount of a conjugate of
`an anti-ErbB2 antibody which binds to the 4D5 epitope with a maytansinoid.”
`
`pa-1580256
`
`KADCYLATM is indicated, as a single agent, for the treatment of patients with
`HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer who previously received trastuzumab and
`a taxane, separately or in combination (see Indications and Usage section of ado-
`trastuzumab emtansine product label, Attachment B). The approved use is thus for
`the treatment of a tumor in a mammal.
`
`Detection of HER2 protein overexpression or gene amplification is necessary for
`selection of patients appropriate for KADCYLATM therapy (see HER2 Testing
`section of ado-trastuzumab emtansine product label, Attachment B). HER2 is
`synonymous with “ErbBZ.” See the ‘840 patent, Attachment D, column 6, lines
`54-56. The approved use thus requires identifying the tumor as being
`characterized by overexpression of an ErbB2 receptor;
`
`The approved use of KADCYLATM is for patients who previously received
`trastuzumab and a taxane, separater or in combination (see Indications and
`Usage section of ado-trastuzumab emtansine product label, Attachment B).
`addition, patients should have either: received prior therapy for metastatic
`disease, or developed disease recurrence during or within six months of
`completing adj uvant therapy. Id.
`
`In
`
`Trastuzumab is an anti-ErbBZ antibody also known by its trade name
`HERCEPTIN® (See the ‘840 patent, Attachment D, column 7, lines 1-8).4
`HERCEPTIN® is an anti-ErbB2 antibody which binds to the 4D5 epitope and
`which has a growth inhibitory effect on SK-BR-3 cells (see the ‘840 patent,
`Attachment D, column 2, lines 44-52; column 3, lines 8-14; column 14, lines 35-
`46; Example 2 and Figure 6).

`

`Patent No.: 7,097,840
`
`Docket No.: 146392019700
`Client Ref. No.: 10813
`
`Accordingly, the approved use of KADCYLATM is for the treatment of a patient
`whose tumor does not respond, or responds poorly, to treatment with an anti-
`ErbB2 antibody which binds to the 4D5 epitope and which has a growth
`inhibitory effect on SK-BR-3 cells.
`
`Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is an antibody-drug conjugate which contains the
`humanized anti-HER2 IgGl, trastuzumab, covalently linked to the microtubule
`inhibitory drug DMl (the maytansine derivative N2I-deacetyl-Nzi-(3-mercapto-1-
`oxopropyl)—maytansine) via the stable thioether linker MCC (4-[N-
`maleimidomethyl] cyclohexane-l-carboxylate) (see Description section of ado-
`trastuzumab emtansine product label, Attachment B). As stated above,
`trastuzumab is an anti-ErbBZ antibody which binds to the 4D5 epitope.~ DMl is a
`maytansinoid. Id. KADCYLATM is indicated, as a single agent, for the treatment
`of patients with HERZ—positive, metastatic breast cancer who previously received
`trastuzumab and a taxane, separately or in combination (see Indications and
`Usage section of ado—trastuzumab emtansine product label, Attachment B). Ado—
`trastuzumab emtansine is thus a conjugate of an anti—ErbB2 antibody which binds
`to the 4D5 epitope with a maytansinoid and is approved to be administered in a
`therapeutically effective amount to treat breast cancer.

`
`the term of the ‘840 patent has. not been previously extended on the basis
`of§ 156 (35 U.S.C. § 156(a)(2));
`
`'
`
`the application for extension is submitted by an owner of record or an
`agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner of record in accordance
`with the requirements of paragraphs (1) through (4) of 35 U.S.C. § 156(d)
`and the rules of the Patent and Trademark Office (35 U.S.C. § 156(a)(3));
`
`the product, KADCYLATM, has been subject to a regulatory review period
`before its commercial marketing or use (35 U.S.IC. § 156(a)(4));
`
`no other patent has been extended pursuant to § 156 on the basis of the
`regulatory review process associated with the approved product (35 U.S.C.
`§ 156(c)(4));
`
`the applicant for marketing approval exercised due diligence within the

`Docket No.2 146392019700
`Client Ref. No.: 10813
`
`(c)
`
`The requested period of extension of term for the ‘840 patent corresponds to the
`regulatory review period that is eligible for extension pursuant to § 156, based on
`the facts and circumstances of the regulatory review associated with the approved
`product and the issuance of the ‘840 patent. The period was determined as
`follows.
`
`(i)
`
`The relevant dates for calculating the regulatory review period, based on
`the events discussed in the section above, are the following:
`
`Exemption under FDCA § 505(i)
`became effective
`
`January 18, 2006
`
`Patent was granted
`
`I
`
`August 29, 2006
`
`Biologics License Application (BLA)
`under PHSA § 351 was submitted
`
`August 24, 2012
`
`BLA was approved
`
`February 22, 2013
`
`pa-1580256
`
`The ‘840 patent was granted during the period specified in
`§ 156(g)(1)(B)(i) (the period of 2,41 1 days calculated from the date of the
`grant of the exemption under § 505(i) of the FDCA (January 18, 2006)
`until the date of submission of the BLA (August 24, 2012)). Pursuant to
`§§ 156(0), the calculated regulatory review period therefore includes a
`component of time between when the patent was granted (August 29,
`2006) and when the BLA was submitted (August 24, 2012) (1/2 of 2,187
`days or 1,094 days).6
`
`The ‘840 patent was granted prior to the start of the period specified in
`§§ 156(g)(1)(B)(ii) (the period from the date of submission of the BLA
`until the date of BLA approval). The number of days which the applicant
`did not act with due diligence is zero (0) days. The regulatory review
`period under § 156(0) therefore includes a component of time between.
`when the BLA was submitted and when the BLA was approved (183
`days).
`
`The period determined according to §§ 156(0) and (g)(1) for the approved
`product is 1,277 days.
`
`The ‘840 patent will expire on January 27, 2023.
`
`The date of approval of the approved product is February 22, 2013.
`
`6 Under 37 C.F.R. § l.775(d)(1)(iii), half days are ignored for purposes of subtraction.

`
`The date that is provided by adding the number of days determined
`according to §§ 156(c) and (g)(1) for the approved product (1,277 days) to
`the expiration date of the ‘840 patent is July 27, 2026.
`
`The date that is fourteen years from the date of approval of the approved
`product (February 22, 2027) is later than the date that is provided by
`adding the number of days determined according to §§ 156(c) and (g)(1)
`for the approved product to the expiration date of the ‘840 patent (July 27,
`2026). As such, the period by which the patent may be extended is not
`limited by the fourteen-year rule of §156(c)(3).
