`agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number’s legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR
`1320.5(b).

`Information Disclosure Statement
`
`The information disclosure statements (IDS) submitted on 9/30/2013 and
`
`12/18/2013 were filed after the mailing date of the Final Office Action on 9/19/2018.
`
`The submissions are in compliance with the provisions of 87 CFR 1.97. Accordingly,
`
`the information disclosure statements are being considered by the examiner.
`
`REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: The
`
`Examiner is persuaded by Applicant's argument of unexpected results as it pertains
`
`to the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma relapsed, refractory, or relapsed and
`
`refractory to conventional therapy comprising administration of lenalidomide in the
`
`dosing regimen presently claimed. Specifically, as set forth in the Declaration filed
`
`12/18/2013, prior to June 2013 there was only one drug approved by the FDAfor the
`
`treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory MCL (bortezomib). Surprisingly,
`
`Applicant demonstrated that lenalidomide administered in the claimed dosing
`
`regimen was effective in treating heavily pretreated MCL patients,
`
`including
`
`patients previously treated with bortezomib.
`
`
`
`Given the extremely poor prognosis of mantle cell lymphoma_patients
`
`relapsed, refractory, or relapsed and refractory to conventional therapy and the lack
`
`of available effective therapies for such patients, it is surprising and unexpected

`
`that lenalidomideelicits an overall response rate of 28% in heavily pretreated MCL
`
`patients.
`
`Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later
`
`than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably
`
`accompanythe issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on
`
`Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”
