`
`DECLARATION UNDER 37 CFR 1.132
`
`Dear Sir:
`
`I, Elliot Ehrich, am the inventor of the subject matter of the above-identified application.
`I am also employed by Alkermes, Inc, the assignee ofthe above-identified application.
`My curriculum vitae is attached hereto as Exhibit D.
`
`Background
`The present invention is directed to the unexpected discovery that a single injection of a
`naltrexone-containing long-acting formulation provides systemic exposure to naltrexone
`(AUC) which is at least 2 fold higher over a 28 day period than the AUC of an oral
`regimen of 50 mg per day over a 28 day period. The invention which is described in the
`above identified application resulted from a discovery made during clinical trial testing of
`Alkennes' MEDISORB® (injectable) Naltrexone (tradename VIVITREX®). Due to the
`size of the lengthy full Clinical Study Report only relevant portions of the Clinical Study
`Report# ALK21-005 (the "Report") finalized November 9, 2004 is attached hereto as
`Exhibits A and B. I will be referring to this Report throughout my declaration.
`
`Prior to obtaining the data discussed in the Report, it was believed that the doses of
`MEDISORB® Naltrexone suspension selected for the studies described in the Report (i.e.
`190 mg and 380 mg) would result in total systemic exposure (AUC) which was similar to
`the AUC of ari oral regimen of 50 mg per day naltrexone over a 28-day period. However,

`
`as the data summarized in Table 8 of Exhibit A shows, the 380 mg dose has an AUC that
`is at least 3.3 times greater than the AUC of the per day dose of oral regimen of 50 mg
`per day naltrexone.
`
`Data Analysis
`Referring now to Table 8 of the Report shown in Exhibit A, note that the AUCo-t (AUC0_
`2sdays) for a single dose ofMEDISORB® Naltrexone 380 mg on a per day basis can be
`calculated for Cohort A by dividing the AU Co-t for Cohort A 120.6 by 28 days and for
`Cohort B, 137.8, by 28 days. For Cohort A, the per day 380 mg MEDISORB®
`Naltrexone AUCo-t is 4.307 which is about 3.3 times greater than the per day AUCo-t of
`oral Naltrexone 50 mg which is 1.278. For Cohort B, the per day 380 mg MEDISORB®
`Naltrexone AUCo-t is 4.921 which is about 3.3 times greater than the per day AUCo-t of
`oral Naltrexone 50 mg whichis 1.468. This result was unexpected.
`
`Based on the dose proportionality observed between 190 and 380 mg following a single
`dose, AUCo-2sdays for the 190 mg dose may reasonably be predicted to be approximately
`2-fold higher than AUC following oral dosing of 50 mg per day for 28 days. This is also
`evident from Cohort A data showing about a 2-fold higher AUC for MEDISORB®
`Naltrexone 190 mg. This result was also unexpected.
`
`Cited Reference US Pat No 6,306,425 ("Tice")
`I have read the rejections from the Examiner and I have reviewed Tice cited by the
`Examiner. The Examiner claims that the data found in the table in column 14 ofTice
`indicates that the F-1' naltrexone-containing injectable formula described also exhibits an
`AUC which is 3.3 times higher over a period of 32 days as compared to the oral dosing
`of 50 mg per day of naltrexone for 32 days. This is incorrect.
`
`Tice discloses an injectable formulation containing up to 350 mg of naltrexone.
`However, Tice does not disclose that the serum AUC of naltrexone is at least about 2 or
`3.3 times greater than that achieved by the equivalent 50 mg/day oral administration over
`
`AMN1003

`
`the same period of time. Given that the oral naltrexone is delivered in a daily dose, it is
`necessary to either extrapolate (or actually measure) the AU C derived from the daily oral
`dose over the time period in which the AUC of the injectable extended dose is ineasured,
`or it is necessary to divide the AUC ofthe injectable extended dose over the ,number of
`days that AUC measurements of the injected extended dose are taken in order to arrive at
`the daily AUC of the extended dose and thereafter compare that measurement to the daily
`AUC of the daily oral dose. Therefore what is actually disclosed Tice is that the
`extrapolated 32 day AUC after a single dose of a 50 mg tablet of oral naltrexone (column
`15, lines 62-65, 1600 mg naltrexone total dose) is similar to the AUCo-32 day after
`injection of the F-1' naltrexone formulation tested in Tice.
`
`The table in column 15 summarizes the data table in column 14 ofTice which compares
`the dose delivered in one day (with 50 mg) as compared to the delivery over 32 days.
`The mean dose is calculated by multiplying the mean daily dose over 32 days (to
`calculate the dose/day) is 27.8*32=889.6. The F-1' mean over32 days achieved a
`1051.6, which is less than twice the AUC. Looking at the data differently, the AUC over
`32 days is 1051.6. The dose per day is 32.8 (1051.6/32 = 32.8), which is not twice 27.8,
`the per day dose for the 50 mg oral.
`
`Comparison between Tice and the Present Application
`Referring now to the graphs of Exhibit C, AUC data for Tice are taken from the text and
`table in column 14. According to the table, a single oral dose of 50 mg naltrexone was
`administered, and a mean AUCo-24h value of27.8 ug h/L was obtained. This value is
`presented in the graph ofExhibit Cas the average daily AUC level for each of32 days. A
`second set of data indicates that a single 300 mg injection of naltrexone resulted in a
`mean AUC0_32d value of 1051.6 ug h!L. This value was divided by 32 days, and then
`graphed in Exhibit C as the average daily AUC value of 32.9 ug h!L.
`
`AUC data for MEDISORB® Naltrexone are taken from the text and table on page 6 of
`their clinical study report ALK21-005 (Exhibit B). According to the table on page 6 of
`
`AMN1003
`IPR of Patent No. 7,919,499
`
`Page 3 of 18
`
`

`

`Application No.: 111083,167
`Declaration by Elliot Ehrich
`Page 4 of6
`
`the Report, a single oral dose of 50 mg naltrexone was administered, and a mean AUCo-oo
`value of30.5 ug h/L (1.270 ng days/mL) was obtained. This value is presented in the
`graph ofExhibit Cas the average daily AUC level for each of32 days. A second set of
`data indicates that a single 190 mg injection ofnaltrexone resulted in a mean AUCo-oo
`value of 1722 ug h/L (71.75 ng days/mL). This value was divided by 32 days, and then
`graphed in Exhibit C as the average daily AUC value of 53.8 ug h!L. A third set of data
`indicates that a single 380 mg injection ofnaltrexone resulted in a mean AUCo-oo value of
`3444 ug h/L (143.5 ng days/mL). This value was divided by 32 days, and then graphed in
`Exhibit Cas the average daily AUC value of 107.6 ug h!L.
`
`Comparisons between the graphed data from column 14 ofTice and the data from Exhibit
`Bas shown in Exhibit C indicate that the 50 mg oral doses ofTice and Exhibit Band the
`single injectable dose of300 mg ofTice result in similar average daily AUC values of
`28-33 ug h!L. On the other hand, a single injectable dose of MEDISORB® Naltrexone
`190 mg or MEDISORB® Naltrexone 380 mg (Alkennes) result in average daily AUC
`values that are, respectively, 1.6x (53.8 ug h/L) and 3.3x (107.6 ug h/L) greater than the
`average daily AUC value of 32.9 ug h/L, obtained from a single injectable dose of 300
`mg in accordance with Tice.
`
`Conclusion
`Therefore, Tice does not disclose an injectable naltrexone formulation that has the
`presently claimed AUC of at least 3.3 times greater than that of 50 mg oral Naltrexone.
`In addition, based on what was known in the prior art including Tice, it was unexpected
`that an injectable naltrexone formulation such as the MEDISORB® Naltrexone
`fonnulation would have an AUC of at least 3.3 times greater than that of 50 mg oral
`Naltrexone."

`
`Bas~ed on time invariance analysis of AUC: and! 112, the PK of naltrexone and 6f.\-naltrexol was
`similar between single and multiple doses of Mcdisorb Nallrexon<: 380 mg.
`
`Accumulation of n:1ltrexonc and 6!3-naltrcxol was l3 and ll %,, respectively. fol!owing

`
`Steady state was reached for naltrexonc and 613-naltrexol at the end of the dosing interv3i
`!()]lowing the lirst dose ofMcdisorb Naltrexone 380 mg.
`
`The n:etabo!ite:parent AUC ratios i(JIIowing l'v1edisorb Naltrexone and oral administration
`were approximately 2 and 30, respectively. OveralL naltrexone exposure Jollowing Medi~orb
`Naltrexone was higher and 6£\-naltrcxol exposure was lower following Medisorb Naltrexonc
`380 mg administration compared with the oral naltrexone 50 mg administration.
`
`~
`
`Nailrcxone Cma' was approximately l /3 lower in females compared with males. how<:ver,

`
`Single and multiple doses ofMedisorb Naltrexone were well tolerated based on the number
`and severity of reported AEs. There were no trends or ciiniea!ly meaningful chang~.:s from
`baseline observed in mean or median clinical laboratory values or vita! sign Jindings for any of
`the stt:dy groups.
