`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.62 and 42.64(c), Petitioners respectfully move
`
`to exclude (A) Patent Owner’s reliance on EX2008 to prove a difference between
`
`the 0.05% and 0.10% CsA formulations; (B) paragraphs 48 and 33, 47 respectively
`
`of the Sheppard and Loftsson declarations (EX2024 and EX2025) relying on
`
`Schiffman and Attar Exhibits and testimony that are entitled to no weight pursuant
`
`to Paper 33; (C) the LeCause deposition transcript (EX2038); (D) paragraphs (e.g.,
`
`31, 34, 36-38, 50-51, 59-60, 65, 67-68, 74-76, 88-89, and 96) of the Maness
`
`declaration (EX2028) relying on the LeCause deposition transcript (EX2038); and
`
`(E) three new exhibits (EX2077-EX2079) belatedly served with Allergan’s Sur-
`
`Reply to assert new arguments fourth months after Allergan’s PORs were due.
`
`The Federal Rules of Evidence apply to inter partes proceedings. 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.62; LKQ Corp. v. Clearlamp, LLC, IPR2013-00020, Paper 17, at 3 (Mar. 5,
`
`2013). This Motion addresses issues in Petitioner’s Objections to Evidence (Paper
`
`Nos. 11, 17, 48 and the July 12-14, 2017 depositions of Petitioners’ witnesses.
`
`II. ARGUMENT
`
`A. EX2008 Should Be Excluded Under F.R.E. 801-805.
`
`Allergan describes EX2008 as “RESTASIS® label.” Sur-Reply at i.
`
`Petitioner objected to EX2008 “To the extent that Patent Owner relies on EX. 2008
`
`or on any statements in EX. 2008 for the truth of the matter asserted” because
`
`
`-1-
`
`

`

`
`
`“such statements are inadmissible hearsay when offered by Patent Owner.” Paper
`
`11 at 5-6 (citing F.R.E. 801, 802, 803, 805). Allergan cited EX2008 to argue that
`
`“FDA relied upon the Schirmer tests with anesthesia in approving
`
`RESTASIS®….” POR at 11-12 (citing EX2008 at 5 (clinical studies)). In its Sur-
`
`Reply, Allergan argued for the first time ever that “FDA concluded that the 0.05%
`
`CsA emulsion was statistically better at increasing tear production…than both the
`
`0.1% CsA emulsion and vehicle for certain patient populations. EX. 2078 at 26. On
`
`this basis, FDA approved RESTASIS® for increasing tear production.” Paper 42 at
`
`6-7 & n.4 (citing EX2008 at 1).
`
`Each of these statements is an improper attempt by Allergan to rely on out-
`
`of-court statements contained in EX2008 without the benefit of any expert
`
`analysis. Notably, EX2008 contains no comparison between the two CsA
`
`formulations and thus contradicts Allergan’s unsupported attorney argument that
`
`sub-group results purportedly discussed in EX2078 were the basis for FDA’s
`
`decision. Allergan’s mischaracterization of the statements in EX2008 illustrates
`
`why out-of-court statements should be subjected to cross-examination. The
`
`statements relied upon by Allergan are inadmissible hearsay for the purposes for
`
`which Allergan offers them, and they should be excluded to the extent Allergan
`
`relies upon them as asserting superiority of the 0.05% CsA formulation over the
`
`0.10% CsA formulation.
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`
`
`B.
`
`Paragraphs 48 of EX2024 and 33 and 47 of EX2025 Should Be
`Excluded or Afforded No Weight Per Order of Paper 33.
`
`Following Allergan’s refusal to provide the data underlying Schiffman
`
`Exhibits B, D-F and Attar Exhibits C-D, the Board issued an order establishing that
`
`these exhibits, as well as testimony and arguments based thereon would be
`
`“entitled to no weight.” Paper 33 at 3 (Board ruling “because Patent Owner will
`
`not produce the clinical trial data underlying Schiffman Exhibits B, D, E, F and
`
`Attar Exhibits C and D, those exhibits and related testimony are entitled to no
`
`weight and will not be considered in determining the patentability of the
`
`challenged claims”); see also Paper 22 at 2 (order authorizing Motion for
`
`Discovery for “the data underlying the study results…rel[ied] upon to establish
`
`criticality of, and unexpected results for, the claimed combination of cyclosporin A
`
`and castor oil.”); Paper 23 (Motion for Discovery); Paper 28 at 5 (order granting-
`
`in-part Petitioners’ Motion for Discovery).
`
`EX2024 and EX2025 are the Sheppard and Loftsson declarations,
`
`respectively. Drs. Sheppard and Loftsson both confirmed they studied the
`
`declarations of Drs. Schiffman and Attar prior to submitting their declarations in
`
`the current proceeding. EX1037 (Sheppard deposition transcript), 52:14-55:4,
`
`259:16-260:5; EX1036 (Loftsson deposition transcript), 22:4-23:23, 41:3-42:16.
`
`Despite asserting that they did not rely on these declarations to form their own
`
`opinions, Drs. Sheppard and Loftsson admitted to (1) adopting language from the
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`
`
`Schiffman and Attar declarations into their own declarations (EX1037, 260:7-
`
`261:7 (Dr. Sheppard’s inclusion of the phrase “‘optimal therapeutic effectiveness’
`
`in paragraph 48” of his declaration was “not anything I meant. That’s something
`
`they[Drs. Schiffman and Attar] said.”)); (2) drawing conclusions of “unexpectedly
`
`and surprisingly critical results” that must be viewed in the “context [of] referring
`
`to these declarations by Drs. Schiffman and Attar,” (id.); and relying upon
`
`Schirmer Tear Testing figures embedded in the Attar declaration for their analysis
`
`of Sall Figure 2. EX1036, 200:20-201:22 (Dr. Loftsson clarifying the basis for his
`
`conclusions in paragraph 33, and noting he “notice[d]…some comparison there of
`
`these two formulations which confirmed my observation” within “Attar declaration
`
`figures” which included “figures about Schirmer tear testing.”); id. at 204:4-14
`
`(when asked if he had “any recollection of relying on anything other than Sall,”
`
`responded “Like I said before, I did see – I did mention Attar before”).
`
`Thus, pursuant to the Board’s orders, paragraph 48 of EX2024 and
`
`paragraphs 33 and 47 of EX2025 and Drs. Sheppard and Loftsson’s analysis of
`
`Sall Figure 2 relying on the excluded portions of the Schiffman and Attar
`
`declarations should be excluded.
`
`C. EX2038 Should Be Excluded Under F.R.E. 602, 901, 801-805, and
`37 C.F.R. § 42.53(a).
`
`Allergan describes EX2038 as the deposition testimony of Allergan
`
`employee David LeCause. POR at 12. This deposition testimony was obtained in
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`
`
`the course of a different proceeding involving the ’930, ’111, ’556, ’162, ’048, and
`
`’191 patents, Allergan, Inc. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., et al., No. 2:15-cv-
`
`01455, filed by Allergan, Inc. in the Eastern District of Texas. Petitioner objected
`
`to the submission of and reliance upon EX2038 in Paper 17 at 7-9.
`
`Patent Owner’s submission of EX2038 in these proceedings is an improper
`
`attempt to insulate Mr. LeCause from cross-examination. Petitioners requested that
`
`Allergan produce Mr. LeCause for deposition in these IPR proceedings; Allergan
`
`refused. EX1134. Allergan’s refusal to submit Mr. LeCause to cross-examination
`
`in these proceedings violates the Board’s rules requiring that uncompelled direct
`
`testimony be submitted in the form of an affidavit and that the witness be subject to
`
`cross-examination during the discovery period. 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(a), (d).
`
`EX2038 should also be excluded because Allergan has failed to provide any
`
`foundation for this exhibit or to establish its authenticity. F.R.E. 901, 601; Paper 17
`
`at 7-9. No witness with personal knowledge has authenticated EX2038. Moreover,
`
`the transcript itself and Mr. LeCause’s purported statements therein constitute
`
`inadmissible hearsay when offered by Patent Owner because they are statements
`
`not made under oath in these proceedings and are statements offered for the truth
`
`of the matters asserted. F.R.E. 801-805. For each of these reasons, EX2038 should
`
`be excluded or at least afforded no weight.
`
`-5-
`
`

`

`
`
`D.
`
`Paragraphs 31, 34, 36-38, 50-51, 59-60, 65, 67-68, 74-75, 88-89,
`and 96 of EX2028 Should Be Excluded Because They Rely Upon
`EX2038.
`
`Paragraphs 31, 34, 36-38, 50-51, 59-60, 65, 67-68, 74-76, 88-89, and 96 of
`
`EX2028 rely upon EX2038 and/or a purported “Conversation with David
`
`LeCause,” and thus constitute an improper attempt to circumvent the Board’s rules
`
`regarding cross-examination of witnesses, as discussed above in Section II.C.
`
`These paragraphs of EX2028, cited by Allergan (POR at 12, 40-42; Sur-Reply at
`
`12-13) should be excluded, or at least entitled to no weight, for the same reasons
`
`discussed above in Section II.C. Petitioner objected to reliance on EX2038 and
`
`private conversations with Mr. LeCause in Exhibit 2028 in Paper 17 at 7-9.
`
`E.
`
`EX2077, EX2078, EX2079 and Allergan’s Sur-Replies Contain
`Improper New Arguments.
`
`Patent Owner requested a Sur-Reply to address purported “new arguments”
`
`raised in Petitioners’ Reply. Allergan did not ask the Board for, nor did the Board
`
`grant Allergan permission, to submit new evidence or new theories not previously
`
`asserted in its Response. Nonetheless, Allergan belatedly produced Exhibits 2077-
`
`2079 nearly four months after the time for its Responses had lapsed. Petitioner
`
`objected to these late submissions in Paper 48 and at the depositions of Dr. Calman
`
`and Dr. Bloch. EX2082 (Calman deposition transcript), 133:1-9 (objecting to
`
`EX2077); EX2083 (Bloch deposition transcript), 77:15-22 (objecting to EX2079).
`
`These new arguments and exhibits violate Board rules and the procedural
`
`-6-
`
`

`

`
`
`order in these proceedings. 37 C.F.R. 42.23(b) (reply may only respond to
`
`arguments raised in the corresponding paper); Paper 10 (scheduling order). For
`
`example, Allergan submitted EX2077 to purportedly undermine the discussion of
`
`the CsA concentration taught in the prior art Kaswan reference (EX1011) to satisfy
`
`the therapeutic threshold for treating uveitis (Sur-Reply at 11-12), but both the
`
`Kaswan reference and corresponding discussion were submitted for each of the
`
`Petitions and Amiji declarations. See e.g., IPR2016-01127, Petition at 16-17, 54;
`
`EX1002, ¶¶51, 145. The therapeutic CsA threshold was not a new argument, was
`
`not raised for the first time in Petitioner’s Reply, and was properly responsive to
`
`Patent Owner’s submission for the first time with its POR of PK data (EX1027,
`
`EX2026-2027) to attempt to support its “thermodynamics” argument.
`
`As another example, Allergan improperly attempts to introduce new bases
`
`for its alleged unexpected results, which rely upon EX2078 and EX2079 for
`
`support. Sur-Reply at 4-5, 7, 12 (relying on EX2078); id. at 6 (relying on EX2079).
`
`Allergan’s Patent Owner Responses and declarations offered in support thereof
`
`asserted only Sall Figure 2 as evidence of purportedly unexpected results. POR at
`
`34-36. Indeed, Allergan’s declarants testified that Sall Figure 2 was the sole basis
`
`of the “criticality” and unexpected results asserted. EX1037, 246:1-249:12 (Dr.
`
`Sheppard excluded all data except for Sall Figure 2 from his declaration); EX1036,
`
`200:14-202:21 (Dr. Loftsson did not identify “anything in Sall besides Figure 2”
`
`-7-
`
`

`

`
`
`on which he relied to support conclusions of “formulations act[ing] differently,” or
`
`that the claimed emulsion “is critical for increasing tear production in patients with
`
`dry eye.”). Yet Allergan’s Sur-Reply newly asserts—without expert support—each
`
`of Sall Figures 1, 3-4 as evidence of a “meaningful difference” between the 0.05%
`
`and 0.10% CsA formulation. Sur-Reply at 6 n.3. Allergan’s belated reliance on
`
`these figures (and belated production of the new Figure 4) has deprived the Board
`
`and Petitioner of a complete expert analysis with regard to Sall Figures 3-4,
`
`deprives Petitioner of Due Process, and violates Board rules and the scheduling
`
`orders in these proceedings.
`
`Allergan additionally submitted EX2079 with its Sur-Reply after it belatedly
`
`decided to rely upon a corrected version of Sall Figure 4 to establish criticality and
`
`unexpected results. Earlier, Allergan’s Dr. Rhett Schiffman confirmed that Sall
`
`Figure 4 did not reflect the underlying data because it was simply a re-scaled
`
`version of Figure 3 that was mistakenly published in Sall. EX1035 (Schiffman
`
`deposition transcript), 59:3-61:4. After withholding the clinical data underlying
`
`Sall Figures 1-4, Allergan belatedly offers EX2079 as a replacement summary of
`
`undisclosed underlying data in support of its new argument based on Sall Figure 4.
`
`This is improper and violates the Board’s scheduling orders requiring Allergan to
`
`provide its Patent Owner Response nearly four months ago. Paper 10 (scheduling
`
`order).
`
`-8-
`
`

`

`
`
`Allergan’s Sur-Reply further asserts that EX2078 demonstrates criticality
`
`and unexpected results, arguing that the 0.05% CsA formulation increased tearing
`
`by at least 10 mm in a statistically significantly larger number of ITT and
`
`Sjögren’s patients taking anti-inflammatory medicines or using punctal plugs as
`
`compared to treatment with the 0.10% CsA formulation. Sur-Reply at 4-5, 7, 12.
`
`But Allergan never argued increased tearing in the ITT anti-inflammatory/punctal
`
`plugs subgroup or the Sjögren’s anti-inflammatory/punctal plugs subgroup as a
`
`basis for criticality or unexpected results in any of its prior Responses and cannot
`
`do so now. Paper 16 (POR); 37 C.F.R. 42.23(b).
`
`Further, Allergan attempts to link EX2078 to conclusions made in the
`
`Restasis® label, EX2008. Sur-Reply at 6-7; see also Paper 11 at 5-6 (objecting to
`
`EX2008). The Restasis® label does not discuss the 0.1% CsA formulation, let alone
`
`report the Schirmer Tear Test performance of patients taking the 0.1% CsA
`
`formulation. Rather, the label reports 10 mm increases in Schirmer Tear Tests
`
`administered to 15% of patients taking Restasis for six months, versus 5% of
`
`patients taking just the vehicle. EX2008. Allergan attempts to rely upon Table 4 of
`
`EX2078 to fill this gap, yet Table 4 does not report values of 15% and 5% for these
`
`formulations for any group or subgroup.
`
`By failing to produce these documents four months ago with its PORs and
`
`by refusing to produce the underlying clinical data requested in Petitioners’ Motion
`
`-9-
`
`

`

`
`
`for Discovery (Papers 22, 23), Allergan attempts to circumvent the Board’s
`
`discovery and scheduling orders and insulate this information from reasoned expert
`
`analysis. For these reasons, they should be excluded.
`
`1. EX2077 Should Be Excluded Under F.R.E. 602, 701, 702.
`
`Allergan presents EX2077 as a reference to which EX1011 cites in its
`
`discussion of CsA concentrations sufficient to treat ocular disorders. Sur-Reply at
`
`11-12. None of Allergan’s declarants discusses EX2077 in their declaration,
`
`provides any foundation for this document, identifies the source of this document,
`
`or purports to have any knowledge regarding the document or the information
`
`contained therein. In short, Allergan offers Exhibit 2077 without foundation or
`
`expert analysis, in violation of F.R.E. 602, 701, 702.
`
`Moreover, Allergan has ignored the only expert testimony that actually
`
`analyzes EX2077, and this testimony flatly contradicts the attorney argument in
`
`Allergan’s Sur-Reply. EX2082 (Calman deposition transcript), 127:11-132:13
`
`(discussing the teachings of EX1011); id. at 132:14-155:11 (discussing EX2077).
`
`Allergan’s unsupported attorney argument is that serum concentrations of CsA
`
`known to result in therapeutic efficacy across multiple tissue types are irrelevant to
`
`the tissue concentrations of CsA known to result in therapeutic efficacy. Sur-Reply
`
`at 11-12. However, Allergan elicited testimony from Dr. Calman explaining that
`
`consistent therapeutic results of CsA in many different tissue types (including
`
`-10-
`
`

`

`
`
`ocular tissue) at similar serum and tissue concentrations indicate that the tissues
`
`were taking up CsA at concentrations consistent with the serum concentration and
`
`that these concentrations were therapeutically effective in the tissues. EX2082
`
`(Calman deposition testimony), 132:14-155:11. Dr. Calman also confirmed that the
`
`Oellerich reference upon which he relied in addition to Kaswan indicates that
`
`serum levels provide a basis for establishing therapeutically efficacious tissue
`
`levels. Id.; EX1039, ¶79, citing EX1058. Allergan’s Sur-Reply failed to inform the
`
`Board of this testimony and offered EX2077 entirely without foundation.
`
`As another example, Allergan also offered unsupported attorney argument
`
`that a difference in units in one place in EX2077 and the prior art disclosure in
`
`EX1011 undermines the prior art teachings of EX1011 regarding therapeutically
`
`efficacious levels of CsA. Sur-Reply at 11-12 Allergan again ignores the
`
`foundational testimony that it elicited on this subject from Dr. Calman, who noted
`
`that Allergan’s argument was based on clear typographical errors and a failure to
`
`read the reference in its totality as would be done by a person of ordinary skill in
`
`the art. EX2082 (Calman deposition transcript), 135:23-7 (“what they found in
`
`Table 1 was that the 80-microgram injection was not effective and that the 500-
`
`milligram, which I think is probably a microgram, injection was effective. In fact,
`
`let’s go back to materials and methods. It would almost be impossible for it to be
`
`milligrams.”); id. at 137:14-138:10 (when asked about Table 2, wherein “the
`
`-11-
`
`

`

`
`
`results there are being reported in milligrams per milliliter,” Dr. Calman responded
`
`“I think that’s wrong too. There’s just no way you can get those kinds of levels. [Q.
`
`Okay.] It wouldn’t dissolve. We know that cyclosporin has very low solubility in
`
`aqueous solution, and the vitreous humor is an aqueous solution with some
`
`collagen strands. It’s not an oily tissue. There’s just no way. And I’m just seeing
`
`lots of typos in this paper.”).
`
`Dr. Calman’s testimony is corroborated by the prior art Kaswan reference,
`
`which similarly interpreted “levels ranging from 50 to 200 ng/gm” to be
`
`comparable to the “50 to 300 ng/mL” reported by Nussenblatt. EX1011 at 653.
`
`Moreover, Allergan elicited testimony from Dr. Calman establishing that “the
`
`difference [in units] is essentially immaterial,” concluding “I’m convinced as a
`
`scientist reading the totality of this data that those are the kinds of tissue levels that
`
`are adequate for efficacy in a variety of tissues,” and reminding Allergan’s counsel
`
`that “it’s not a high school student, but a POSA” reviewing the relevant art.
`
`EX2082 (Calman deposition transcript), 138:11-143:14, 148:12-149:11; 151:5-
`
`152:25. Because Allergan failed to provide any foundation for EX2077 in its Sur-
`
`Reply, EX2077 should be excluded.
`
`2. EX2078 Should Be Excluded Under F.R.E. 602, 701, 702, 901,
`801-805, 1002, 1006, 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.53(a), 42.65(a).
`
`Allergan describes EX2078 as a “Medical Officer’s Review of NDA 21-
`
`023.” Sur-Reply at v. Allergan failed to provide declarations from the author(s) of
`
`-12-
`
`

`

`
`
`EX2078, and thus fails to provide adequate foundation for the document and the
`
`statements contained therein as either lay testimony or expert testimony of any
`
`particular declarant. F.R.E. 602, 701, 702; 37 C.F.R. § 42.53(a). None of
`
`Allergan’s declarants discuss EX2078 in their declaration, provide any foundation
`
`for this document, identify the source of this document, or purport to have any
`
`knowledge regarding the document or the information contained therein.
`
`Allergan has also failed to authenticate EX2078. The facial unreliability of
`
`data in EX2078 raise a substantial question as to its authenticity: the data in Table
`
`4 contain a percentage of “responders” for the ITT-anti-inflammatory/punctal
`
`plugs subpopulation (18%) that does not match the number of persons reported in
`
`the sub group (10/109, 9.1% for the 0.05% CsA group vs. 10/106, 9.4% for the
`
`0.1% CsA group). Results varied widely between the two U.S. Studies (192371-
`
`002, -003) and also were not reproducible in the European studies (192371-501, -
`
`503), at least one of which reported a numerically higher result for the 0.1% CsA
`
`formulation than for the 0.05% formulation. EX2078 at 26. Allergan’s failure to
`
`provide any declarant for cross-examination regarding this document raises serious
`
`questions as to its authenticity and reliability, including the methodology for
`
`completing the studies and analyzing the data. F.R.E. 602, 701, 702, 901.
`
`EX2078 itself and the statements contained therein are offered by Allergan
`
`for the truth of the matter asserted (alleged superiority of the 0.05% CsA
`
`-13-
`
`

`

`
`
`formulation over the 0.10% CsA formulation and this alleged finding being an
`
`alleged basis of FDA approval), and are therefore inadmissible hearsay. F.R.E.
`
`801-805. Moreover, EX2078 does not provide support for Allergan’s argument
`
`that the 0.05% CsA formulation was approved by the FDA because it was
`
`allegedly unexpectedly critical or superior over the 0.10% CsA formulation.
`
`EX2078 does not make any conclusion of any significant difference between the
`
`two CsA formulations in any population or subpopulation (EX2078 at 29), and the
`
`p-values provided on page 26 of the report provide a comparison to the vehicle, not
`
`between CsA groups. Id. at 26; see also EX2001 at 307-8 (Study 192371-002, -003
`
`“Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of cyclosporine 0.05% and 0.1%
`
`ophthalmic emulsions compared with vehicle….”), 316 & Table 3.7.3.6-5 (P-value
`
`reflects among-group differences; both CsA formulations favored vs vehicle).
`
`Allergan chose not to authenticate EX2078, or to provide a witness to lay
`
`foundation for EX2078, and indeed, chose to withhold EX2078 until after all
`
`substantive papers and depositions of Allergan witnesses in these proceedings were
`
`scheduled to be completed. Moreover, Allergan did not produce the raw data
`
`purportedly summarized in EX2078, and EX2078 lacks foundation as a summary
`
`to prove content. F.R.E. 1002, 1006; 37 C.F.R. §42.65(a). For each of these
`
`reasons, EX2078 should be excluded.
`
`3. EX2079 Should Be Excluded Under F.R.E. 602, 701-702, 801-
`805, 1002, 1006, and 37 C.F.R. § 42.65(a).
`
`-14-
`
`

`

`
`
`Allergan describes EX2079 as a “Correction to Sall article (Ex. 1007).” Sur-
`
`Reply at v, 6. Allergan failed to provide declarations from the author(s) of
`
`EX2079, and thus fails to provide adequate foundation for the document and the
`
`statements contained therein as either lay testimony or expert testimony of any
`
`particular declarant. F.R.E. 602, 701, 702. None of Allergan’s declarants discuss
`
`EX2079 in their declaration, provide any foundation for this document, identify the
`
`source of this document, or purports to have any knowledge regarding the
`
`document or the information it describes. Additionally, the statements contained in
`
`EX2079 are offered by Allergan for the truth of the matter asserted (alleged
`
`superiority of the 0.05% CsA formulation over the 0.10% CsA formulation), and
`
`are therefore inadmissible hearsay. F.R.E. 801-805.
`
`Moreover, Allergan did not produce the raw data purportedly summarized in
`
`EX2079, and it lacks foundation as a summary to prove content. F.R.E. 1002,
`
`1006; 37 C.F.R. §42.65(a). For each of these reasons, EX2079 should be excluded.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`
`For the foregoing reasons, Petitioner requests that this Motion to Exclude be
`
`granted.
`
`Dated: July 20, 2017
