`

`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`Pursuant to the Scheduling Order in this proceeding (Paper 12), and the
`
`Office Patent Trial Practice Guide, Patent Owners Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
`
`and Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. (together, "Patent Owners"), respectfully submit this
`
`Motion for Observation Regarding Cross-Examination of Dr. Aron D. Rose, the
`
`Reply declarant of Petitioners Micro Labs Limited and Micro Labs USA Inc.
`
`(together "Micro Labs" or "Petitioner"). The full transcript of Dr. Rose's July 16,
`
`2018 cross-examination is being filed concurrently as Ex. 2062.
`
`
`
`Observation # 1: In Ex. 2062 at 14:19-23 and 15:13-16:13, Dr. Rose
`
`testified that, with respect to early PGF2α prostaglandin analogs, Ex. 2015 (a paper
`
`titled "Initial Clinical Studies with Prostaglandins and their Analogues") teaches
`
`that PGF2α tromethamine salts, PGF2α-IE, and 15-propionate-PGF2α-IE all "produce
`
`unacceptable side effects including conjunctival hyperemia and ocular irritation."
`
`Dr. Rose agreed that the authors of Ex. 2015 (Camras and Alm) "were at the
`
`forefront of the development of prostaglandin analogs as of December 26, 1996."
`
`Id. at 15:7-12. Dr. Rose's testimony above contradicts his assertion that early
`
`PGF2α analogs were not regarded in the field as "clinically unacceptable." Ex.
`
`1032, ¶¶ 25-26 ("I would not describe PGF2ɑ, or its early analogs, as 'clinically
`
`unacceptable,' and nothing I have reviewed for this case suggests otherwise."); Dr.
`
`Rose's testimony that he had previously reviewed Ex. 2015 (Ex. 2062 at 15:4-6)
`
`1
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`also contradicts his assertion that nothing he reviewed for this case suggested
`
`otherwise. Ex. 1032, ¶ 26.
`
`
`
`Observation # 2: In Ex. 2062 at 18:18-23 and 19:6-23, Dr. Rose testified
`
`that Ex. 2058 (a paper titled "Additive Effect of Latanoprost, a Prostaglandin F2ɑ
`
`Analogue, and Timolol in Patients with Elevated Intraocular Pressure")
`
`"describ[es] PGF2alpha-IE as hampered by clinically unacceptable hyperemia."
`
`Dr. Rose acknowledged that the authors of Ex. 2058 cited Ex. 1033 (id. at 20:16-
`
`25) and Ex. 2013 (id. at 21:7-12). And yet, Dr. Rose relied on Ex. 1033 and Ex.
`
`2013 in his Supplemental Declaration for the opposite proposition - that "there
`
`were several papers published showing a superior therapeutic profile for the
`
`isopropyl ester modified form of PGF2α ('PGF2α-IE')." Ex. 1032, ¶ 24. Dr. Rose's
`
`testimony contradicts his assertion that early PGF2α analogs were not regarded in
`
`the field as "clinically unacceptable." Ex. 1032, ¶¶ 25-26. His testimony also
`
`contradicts his position that Exs. 1033 and 2013 teach a "superior therapeutic
`
`profile" for PGF2α-IE. Ex. 1032, ¶ 24.
`
`
`
`Observation # 3: In Ex. 2062 at 22:6-10 and 22:23-23:3, Dr. Rose
`
`confirmed that Petitioners' Ex. 1033 (a paper titled "Prostaglandin F2ɑ-1-Isopropyl
`
`Ester Lowers Intraocular Pressure Without Decreasing Aqueous Humor Flow")
`
`2
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`discloses a study in which patients "were receiving increasing doses of the
`
`PGF2alpha-isopropyl ester." Dr. Rose testified that Ex. 1033 discloses that two of
`
`the 20 patients in the study, i.e., "10 percent of the patients," "could not complete
`
`the study for all doses because of marked conjunctival hyperemia." Id. at 24:15-
`
`23. Dr. Rose's testimony illustrates the significant discontinuation rate caused by
`
`conjunctival hyperemia in patients treated with PGF2ɑ–IE. Dr. Rose's testimony
`
`contradicts his reliance on Ex. 1033 as teaching a "superior therapeutic profile" for
`
`PGF2α-IE. Ex. 1032, ¶ 24. (Dr. Rose provided further testimony on this subject in
`
`re-direct examination, but it was improperly elicited through leading questions and
`
`is the subject of a motion to exclude. In any event, Dr. Rose's redirect testimony
`
`focused only on technicalities regarding the disclosure in Ex. 1033; Dr. Rose did
`
`not withdraw any of his cross-examination testimony detailed above.)
`
`
`
`Observation # 4: In Ex. 2062 at 77:8-78:9, Dr. Rose conceded that
`
`Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) at 2:45-52 discloses "that it's clinically impossible to use
`
`the PGF2alpha-IE compound in the amount that would give maximum pressure
`
`reduction." See also id. at 79:3-8 (Q. "So PGF2alpha-IE in its current form,
`
`unmodified, presented challenges for continued use; correct?" A. "That's what
`
`Stjernschantz is writing here."). Dr. Rose's testimony further contradicts his
`
`3
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`assertion that early PGF2α analogs were not regarded in the field as "clinically
`
`unacceptable." Ex. 1032, ¶¶ 25-26.
`
`
`
`Observation # 5: In Ex. 2062 at 101:8-12, Dr. Rose agreed that Figure 3 of
`
`Ex. 2003 reports "differences in IOP between treated and control eyes . . . over
`
`time for four different doses of drug." Dr. Rose agreed that the highest dose Figure
`
`3 discloses is 200 µg (id. at 101:13-15), and, at 200 µg, PGF2α exhibits a 7 to 8
`
`mmHg increase in IOP shortly after administration (id. at 102:4-11). Dr. Rose
`
`agreed that this 200 µg dose of PGF2α "provide[s] IOP-lowering activity for at least
`
`about 24 hours." Id. at 102:12-15. Dr. Rose also agreed that the next highest dose
`
`of PGF2α in Figure 3—50 µg—shows an initial increase in IOP of 10 mmHg
`
`shortly after administration. Id. at 102:16-25. Dr. Rose further agreed that the
`
`next highest dose of PGF2α in Figure 3—5 µg—"is the highest dose studied that
`
`[does] not exhibit a clear initial increase in IOP." Id. at 103:2-13. Dr. Rose
`
`conceded that "although lowering the dose from 200 to 5 micrograms eliminated
`
`that initial increase in IOP, the duration of IOP lowering was decreased to less than
`
`24 hours [specifically, to approximately 15 hours or less] with 5 micrograms of
`
`PGF2alpha." Id. at 103:14-24. Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts Petitioners' and
`
`Dr. deLong's argument that an undesirable initial increase in IOP could be
`
`addressed by simply decreasing the dose. Reply (Paper 24) at 12-13; Ex. 1031,
`
`4
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`¶ 30. Rather, Dr. Rose's testimony demonstrates that decreasing the dose of a
`
`prostaglandin also results in decreasing the overall efficacy of the drug. Ex. 2028,
`
`¶ 7.
`
`
`
`Observation # 6: In Ex. 2062 at 39:16-22 and 41:16-23, Dr. Rose testified
`
`that, one method to measure IOP efficacy is to measure the "area under the curve"
`
`in a graph plotting IOP reduction (y-axis) against elapsed time after an
`
`administered dose (x-axis). In that case, "the area under the curve signifies the
`
`percent IOP reduction summed across the elapsed time [after a given dose]." Id.
`
`Dr. Rose agreed that "when examining the area under the curve for an IOP
`
`reduction, the higher the value, the more effective the drug is at reducing IOP." Id.
`
`at 45:16-46:4. For example, "as the dose increases, the area under the curve
`
`increases." Id. at 45:12-14. As with increasing dose, Dr. Rose also agreed that
`
`"the magnitude of the peak IOP reduction . . . will affect the magnitude of the area
`
`under the curve," i.e., "all other things being equal, if you have a higher peak
`
`reduction of IOP, you will have a greater area under the curve for IOP reduction."
`
`Id. at 46:9-18. With respect to Table 4 of Klimko (Ex. 1003), Dr. Rose agreed that
`
`Compound D (17-phenyl-18,19,20-trinor PGF2α-IE) has a "mean percent IOP
`
`reduction at 4 hours after the fifth dose [of] 39.8 percent," but Compound C (16-
`
`phenoxy-17,18,19,20-tetranor PGF2α-IE) only has a "highest reported mean percent
`
`5
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`IOP reduction . . . of . . . 30.2 percent." Id. at 47:9-48:2. Dr. Rose's testimony
`
`regarding the significance of the magnitude of the peak IOP reduction contradicts
`
`his and Petitioner's contention that a POSITA would have chosen Compound C of
`
`Klimko (Ex. 1003) as a lead compound, rather than, e.g., Compound D of Klimko,
`
`which had a much higher reported peak IOP reduction (and lower hyperemia) than
`
`Compound C. Ex.1032, ¶ 47; Reply (Paper 24) at 2.
`
`
`
`Observation # 7: In Ex. 2062 at 29:18-30:6, Dr. Rose testified that, with
`
`respect to the duration of IOP lowering for the compounds disclosed in Table 4 of
`
`the asserted Klimko prior art (Ex. 1003 at 18), "[t]here were no other percent IOP
`
`reduction data presented for any other time points other than 16 hours after the
`
`fourth dose, 2 hours after the fifth dose, 4 hours after the fifth dose, and 6 hours
`
`after the fifth dose." Dr. Rose further testified that he "cannot predict the exact
`
`IOP at 24 hours after the fifth dose." Id. at 32:16-22. In contrast, Dr. Rose agreed
`
`that in Ex. 2059 (a paper titled "PhXA34–A Prostaglandin F2ɑ Analogue. Effect on
`
`Intraocular Pressure in Patients with Ocular Hypertension"), the authors measured
`
`IOP reduction at several timepoints after the administered dose, including "at 24
`
`hours after the dose." Id. at 33:20-24, 37:5-38:13. The authors of Ex. 2059 are
`
`Alm and Villumsen, and like Dr. Alm, "Dr. Villumsen was another investigator at
`
`the forefront of prostaglandin analog development prior to December 26, 1996."
`
`6
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`Id. at 34:7-13. Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts his and Petitioners' position that a
`
`POSITA would settle for extrapolating—rather than requiring direct measurement
`
`of—the level of IOP reduction at 24 hours after the administration of Compounds
`
`A-D of Klimko (Ex. 1003). Ex. 1032, ¶ 52; Reply (Paper 24) at 3-4. Dr. Rose's
`
`testimony also contradicts his and Petitioners' position that a POSITA would
`
`reasonably expect, based on the data of Klimko (Ex. 1003) that Compound C
`
`exhibited a longer-lasting IOP reduction than Compounds A, B and D, in the
`
`context of once-daily dosing. Ex. 1032, ¶ 48; Reply (Paper 24) at 2-4.
`
`
`
`Observation # 8: In Ex. 2062 at 48:3-25, Dr. Rose conceded that the
`
`authors of Ex. 2059 (Alm and Villumsen) distinguish their test compound from the
`
`hyperemia caused by PGF2ɑ–IE. Dr. Rose also conceded that the authors of Ex.
`
`2059 specifically note that their compound does not cause an undesirable initial
`
`increase in IOP, even at a dose of 10µg, unlike high doses of PGF2ɑ–IE, which do
`
`cause an initial increase in IOP. Id. at 49:4-50:7. Dr. Rose's testimony highlights
`
`that investigators in the field of prostaglandin analogs—including Alm and
`
`Villumsen, who were at the forefront of prostaglandin analog development as of
`
`December 26, 1996 (id. at 15:7-12, 34:7-13)—specifically emphasized hyperemia
`
`and an initial increase in IOP as drug properties to avoid. Dr. Rose's testimony
`
`contradicts his and Petitioners' attempt to minimize the importance of avoiding
`
`7
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`hyperemia and an initial increase in IOP when developing a prostaglandin analog.
`
`Ex. 1032, ¶¶ 26, 41, 44, 47; Reply (Paper 24) at 4, 12-13.
`
`
`
`Observation # 9: In Ex. 2062 at 57:10-17, when asked whether he is
`
`"uncomfortable designating the classification of moderate to any of the scores in
`
`this scoring system of Klimko, Exhibit 1003," Dr. Rose testified that he is "much
`
`more comfortable using the author's own detailed description of his findings than
`
`assigning other words." Dr. Rose further testified: "I have trouble with the
`
`substitution of the words 'mild,' 'moderate,' or 'severe' for a study which takes
`
`pain to describe exactly what those numeric values indicate. It's a word
`
`substitution game that I don't feel does anything other than obscure the intent of the
`
`author to outline specifically what his findings were." Id. at 53:23-54:10
`
`(emphasis added). Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts his and Petitioners'
`
`characterization of the hyperemia caused by Compound C of Klimko (Ex. 1003) as
`
`"only moderate," "mild/moderate," or "mild/modest," as opposed to "severe."
`
`Ex. 1032, ¶ 46 (emphasis added); Reply (Paper 24) at 5, 8 (emphasis added).
`
`
`
`Observation # 10: In Ex. 2062 at 67:15-25, Dr. Rose agreed that in
`
`Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017), Compound 4 (Compound C of Klimko (Ex. 1003)) is
`
`only tested in cats, not monkeys: "Q. There's no indication anywhere in
`
`8
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`Stjernschantz that Compound C was tested in monkeys; correct? A. I believe that's
`
`correct." Dr. Rose also asserted that IOP lowering data is not comparable between
`
`cats and monkeys: Q. "And the dose required for IOP lowering isn't necessarily
`
`the same in cats and monkeys; correct?" A. "There's little equivalence between
`
`animals in pressure studies." Id. at 68:20-25. Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts his
`
`and Petitioners' argument that a POSITA would compare the doses of Compound
`
`C used in the cat IOP lowering experiment in Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) and in the
`
`monkey IOP lowering experiment in Klimko (Ex. 1003) to determine whether the
`
`dose in either species could be lowered. Ex. 1032, ¶ 32; Reply (Paper 24) at 13.
`
`
`
`Observation # 11: In Ex. 2062 at 75:7-11, Dr. Rose stated that, in his
`
`opinion, "the peak IOP lowering for Compound 2 in table 6 of Exhibit 2017 [is] at
`
`8 hours or more after administration." See also id. at 73:2-4. In contrast, Dr. Rose
`
`agreed the peak IOP lowering for latanoprost, the first licensed prostaglandin
`
`analog (Compound 9 in Table 6 of Ex. 2017), is 6 hours after administration – "an
`
`earlier peak effect than Compound 2." Id. at 75:25-12. Dr. Rose confirmed that
`
`"[l]atanoprost was chosen for development by Stjernschantz [Ex. 2017]." Id. at
`
`76:20-23. Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts Petitioners' and Dr. deLong's argument
`
`that a POSITA would have sought a lead compound with a late peak IOP lowering
`
`effect. Reply (Paper 24) at 2-3; Ex. 1031, ¶¶ 14-16.

`

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2017-01434
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`Observation # 12: In Ex. 2062 at 82:12-7, Dr. Rose confirmed that
`
`Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) "specifically say[s at 4:32-35] that not every derivative
`
`that he discloses is therapeutically effective and physiologically acceptable." Dr.
`
`Rose further agreed that in Table 4 of Stjernschantz, PGF2ɑ–IE serves as the
`
`positive control and has a 2.8 ± 0.2 degree of hyperemia. Id. at 83:22-84:4. Dr.
`
`Rose confirmed that although Compound 9 (latanoprost) has 1.3 ± 0.3 degree of
`
`hyperemia, Compound 4 (Klimko's Compound C) has a 2.3 ± 0.3 degree of
`
`hyperemia. Id. at 84:5-17. Dr. Rose's testimony confirms that the degree of
`
`hyperemia for Compound C (2.3 ± 0.3) was near that of the PGF2ɑ–IE positive
`
`control (2.8 ± 0.2), especially compared to latanoprost (1.3 ± 0.3) - the only FDA-
`
`approved prostaglandin analog for IOP reduction as of December 26, 1996. Dr.
`
`Rose's testimony refutes his and Petitioners' assertion that Stjernschantz discloses a
`
`favorable therapeutic profile for Compound 4 (Compound C of Klimko (Ex.
`
`1003)). Ex. 1032, ¶¶ 34-35; Reply (Paper 24) at 6-7.
`
`
`
`Observation # 13: In Ex. 2062 at 85:2-86:25 and 87:20-88:6, Dr. Rose
`
`conceded that Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) at 10:48-52 discloses "three 17-phenyl
`
`compounds as advantageous in reducing conjunctival hyperemia compared to
`
`naturally occurring prostaglandins," but none of those compounds are Compound 4
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`(Compound C of Klimko (Ex. 1003)). Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts his and
`
`Petitioner's argument that Stjernschantz favorably characterizes Compound C. Ex.
`
`1032, ¶¶ 34-35; Reply at 6-7.
`
`
`
`Observation # 14: In Ex. 2062 at 89:7-21, Dr. Rose agreed that
`
`Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) at 10:57-11:1 discloses that certain compounds
`
`"exhibiting no ocular irritation and only modest conjunctival/episcleral hyperemia
`
`significantly lowered IOP in primates." Dr. Rose further agreed that those
`
`disclosed compounds do "not include the 16-phenoxy compound, Compound 4,
`
`which is Compound C of Klimko," (id. at 89:22-90:2) and that nothing in that
`
`paragraph of Stjernschantz discloses 16-phenoxy compounds (such as Compound
`
`C of Klimko) (id. at 90:9-11). Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts his and Petitioner's
`
`argument that Stjernschantz favorably characterizes Compound C. Ex. 1032, ¶¶
`
`34-35; Reply at 6-7.
`
`
`
`Observation # 15: In Ex. 2062 at 97:16-19 and 98:3-11, Dr. Rose
`
`confirmed that Figure 3 of Ex. 2034 (a paper titled "Effect of 8-iso Prostaglandin
`
`E2 on Aqueous Humor Dynamics in Monkeys") provides data comparing eyes
`
`treated with a prostaglandin analog and control eyes. Dr. Rose agreed that "[i]n
`
`figure 3 of Exhibit 2034, the first nonzero time point after administration is
`
`11
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01434
`
`
`US Patent No. 5,886,035
`
`
`approximately a half an hour." Id. at 98:16-19. He also agreed that "at a half an
`
`hour, the mean IOP for the treated eye [is] the same or lower than the control eye
`
`at every dose." Id. at 98:20-5. Dr. Rose's testimony demonstrates that the
`
`disclosed prostaglandin analog of Ex. 2034 does not exhibit an initial increase in
`
`IOP after administration, because the mean IOP for the treated eye is the same or
`
`lower than the control eye at every dose. This contrasts with the initial increase in
`
`IOP observed in Table 5 of Stjernschantz (Ex. 2017) for Compound 4 (Compound
`
`C of Klimko (Ex. 1003)); Dr. Rose agreed that: "For Compound 4, which is
`
`Compound C of Klimko, at the first nonzero time point after administration, which
`
`in this case is 1 to 2 hours after administration, the IOP of the treated eye, the mean
`
`IOP of the treated eye is higher than the mean IOP of the control eye." Id. at
`
`92:14-25 (emphasis added). Dr. Rose's testimony contradicts Petitioners' and Dr.
`
`deLong's argument that the fact there was no initial increase in the prostaglandin
`
`analog of Ex. 2034 means there was also no initial increase in IOP for Compound
`
`4 (Compound C of Klimko) in Table 5 of Stjernschantz; his testimony instead
`
`establishes that those two compounds have different properties. Reply (Paper 24)

`at 10-11; Ex. 1031, ¶ 41.
