`An International Preliminary Report on Patentability / International Preliminary
`Examination Report has already been drawn up for the present application in
`accordance with the PCT. The deficiencies mentioned in that report give rise to
`objections under the corresponding provisions of the EPC.
`
`In addition to the objection raised in the IPER, documents 01 to 03 cited above
`discloses the activity of SDZ RAD on lymphocyte proliferation. Consequently also
`these documents are destroying the novelty and inventive step of the claimed
`subject-matter (ct. parts indicated in the search report). It is also pointed out that only
`SDZ RAD has been tested in the application.

`
`25-26
`
`previous claims 28-29
`
`*: Previous claims 1, 23 and 27 (new claims 1, 22 and 24) were amended to exclude
`rapamycin by deleting one element, -H, of the Markush group of R1 and re-iterating the
`
`whole Markush group for R2. The separate recitation is supported by the original claims
`which recited "each of R1 and R2 is independently selected from".
`
`No new matter has been introduced by the amendments.
`
`2. Novelty (Article 54(2) EPC)
`
`2.1
`
`In the IPER it was stated that previous claims 1-29 lack novelty over 05. 05 discloses
`the use of 42-epi-rapamycin (or 40-epi-rapamycin, if the numbering convention used in
`the documents 01 to 04 and the present invention is applied). When discussing the
`
`background art, 05 (first and second column) refers to a number of therapeutic
`applications for rapamycin. 05 does not teach or suggest any O-alkylated derivates of
`
`rapamycin (such as SOZ-RAO).
`
`New claims 1-26 do no longer relate to rapamycin, rendering the objection with respect
`to 05 moot.

`NOVARTIS EXHIBIT 2019

`

`

`
`2.2 The Examining Division stated that 01 to 03 disclose the activity of SDZ RAD on
`lymphocyte proliferation and thus, would also anticipate the novelty of the claimed
`subject matter.
`
`The applicant respectfully disagrees with the assessment of the Examining Division
`concerning previous claims 1-24 and 27-29 (new claims 1-26). Specifically taken
`together, the conditions that are subject to a treatment with rapamycin or its derivatives
`that are discussed in 01 to 03 do not comprise Iymphoproliferative disorders (like
`lymphoma or post transplant Iymphoproliferative disorders) or the
`inhibition of
`metastasis of lymphatic tumors. The specific medical uses of new claims 1-26 are not
`recited in any of documents 01 to 03. Therefore, it is respectfully submitted that the
`subject-matter of said claims is novel over the disclosures of 01 to 03 and that the
`novelty objection should be withdrawn.
`
`3.
`
`Inventive step (Article 56 EPC)
`
`The Examining Division expressed their concerns with respect to the inventive step of
`the present invention over the teachings of 01 to 03. However, the Examining Division
`did not substantiate this objection further.
`
`3.1 01 does not show any therapeutic application of any of the disclosed rapamycin
`derivatives at all; rather, it speculates that these derivatives may exhibit similar
`beneficial effects as rapamycin does. The conditions mentioned in 01 comprise
`various different diseases, e.g. allograft rejection, graft vs. host disease, infection,
`inflammatory disorders, multi drug resistance, autoimmune disorders, tumors or
`hyperproliferative disorders.
`
`Furthermore, the "hyperproliferative disorders" specified in 01 are limited to tumors
`and hyperproliferative skin disorder (page 6, pOint e)). These disorders are significantly
`different from a Iymphoproliferative disorder since they affect only non-lymphocytic
`cells or tissues. It is worth noting that 01 does not give a single example proving the
`pharmaceutical efficiency of the rapamycin derivatives and does equally not suggest
`their use for the treatment of any Iymphoproliferative disorder (like PTLD). Finally, 01
`does not provide any in vitro or in vivo data that could be taken into account for an
`
`NOVARTIS EXHIBIT 2019
`Breckenridge v. Novartis, IPR 2017-01592
`Page 7 of 27
`
`

`

`4
`
`assessment of the pharmaceutical efficiency or even the pharmaceutical compatibility;
`from the disclosure of 01, a skilled person could not even exclude that the novel
`
`compounds may exhibit toxic effects.
`
`3.2
`
`If 02 were considered as the closest prior art for previous claims 6-11 (new claims 5-
`
`10), the problem to be solved by the present invention is the application of the same
`
`reagents (an immunosuppressive agent like CysA in conjunction with a rapamycin
`
`derivative) for the treatment of different conditions. The therapeutic indications that are
`
`treated in 02 are limited to the immunosuppressive activity of SOZ RAO on T-cell
`
`proliferation, i.e. the downregulation of a normal immune reaction of renal allograft
`
`recipients. The use of SOZ RAO for the treatment of Iymphoproliferative disorders is
`
`neither discussed nor suggested. 02 rather focuses on possible synergistic effects for
`
`ameliorating the known effects of the applied substances and does not give any
`
`incentive to transfer the results to any medical condition different from those known in
`
`the art.
`
`3.3 03 likewise focuses on the immunosuppressive effects of SOZ RAO and its efficiency
`
`in the downregulation of normal immune reactions upon transplantation of tissues from
`
`kidney and heart. The arguments put forward for 02 also apply for 03.
`
`3.4
`
`In contrast to the above, the in vitro and in vivo experiments of the present application
`
`reveal the surprising effectiveness of SOZ RAO in the treatment of Iymphoproliferative
`
`disorders, including PTLO, lymphoma, EBV-virus infected hyperproliferative lymphoma
`
`cells or established B-cell tumors as well as the inhibition of the establishment of
`PTLO-like lymphoma (see examples, pages 20-30). These surprising results were also
`
`the basis of a high impact publication from the inventors (post-published in PNAS 97;
`
`11 April 2000, pp. 4285-90).
`
`Thus, it is emphasized that the subject-matter of the present invention involves an
`
`inventive step over the prior art.
`
`Requests
`
`In view of the above, it is respectfully requested that the patentability of the subject-matter of
`
`new claims 1 to 26, submitted with this letter, be acknowledged. Further, it is kindly
`
`requested that the necessary amendments to the description of the present application may

`NOVARTIS EXHIBIT 2019

`Page 8 of 27
`
`

`

`5
`
`be deferred until an agreement with the Examiner on an allowable set of claims is achieved.
`Should the Examiner not be in the position to acknowledge said new claims to be allowable,
`
`an
`
`is respectfully requested.
`
`Furthermore,
`
`Informal interview
`
`Oral Proceedings
`
`according to Article 116 EPC are requested.
