`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`MonoSol Rx, LLC (“Petitioner”), by this motion under 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d),
`
`respectfully requests rehearing of the Board’s Decision Denying Institution of Inter
`
`Partes Review 37 C.F.R. § 42.108 (Paper No. 11, Entered July 3, 2017)
`
`(hereinafter “Decision”). Claims 1-12 of the patent at issue, U.S. Patent No.
`
`6,943,166 (“the ‘166 patent”), relate to methods of administering a known
`
`compound, tadalafil, in a dose range that was taught in the prior art. Claim 1, the
`
`only independent claim, includes the dose limitations of “about 1 to about 20 mg,
`
`up to a maximum total dose of 20 mg per day.”
`
`In denying institution of the IPR, the Board stated that even though in the
`
`pharmaceutical field an ordinary artisan would strive to optimize a drug dose to
`
`minimize adverse side effects while maintaining efficacy, “a claimed invention is
`
`not shown to be unpatentable where ‘the prior art gave only general guidance as to
`
`the particular form of the claimed invention or how to achieve it.’” Decision, p. 9
`
`(internal citations omitted). However, as explained below, the Decision not to
`
`institute this IPR should be modified because: (I) the Board overlooked the Expert
`
`Declaration of Dr. Roger Williams (Ex. 1010), which provides clear guidance as to
`
`the form of the claimed invention and how a person of ordinary skill would
`
`achieve the claimed dose; (II) the Board’s factual findings with respect to the FDA
`
`petition and admitted prior art were not supported by substantial evidence; and (III)
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`institution would be consistent with the Board’s prior decision in IPR2017-00323,
`
`which relied on the same evidence that Dr. Williams analyzed and that Petitioner
`
`had submitted in this Request. For these reasons, as explained below, Petitioner
`
`asks that the Board revisit its decision not to institute trial.
`
`STANDARD OF REVIEW
`
`Requests for rehearing are governed by 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(d), which
`
`provides in pertinent part:
`
`A party dissatisfied with a decision may file a single request for re-
`hearing without prior authorization from the Board. The burden of
`showing a decision should be modified lies with the party challenging
`the decision. The request must specifically identify all matters the
`party believes the Board misapprehended or overlooked, and the place
`where each matter was previously addressed in a motion, an
`opposition, or a reply.
`
`Id. When rehearing a decision on petition, a panel reviews the decision for an
`
`abuse of discretion. 37 C.F.R. § 42.71(c). An abuse of discretion occurs when the
`
`Board has misapprehended or overlooked a significant fact. See Merial Ltd. v.
`
`Virbac, IPR2014-01279, Paper 18 at 8 (P.T.A.B. Apr. 15, 2015) (“[W]hen we
`
`recognize that we have misapprehended or overlooked a significant fact, the
`
`necessary abuse of discretion required by Rule 42.71(c) has been established.”) A
`
`request for rehearing is granted when a Petitioner demonstrates a reasonable
`
`likelihood of prevailing on its challenge. See Blue Coat Systems, Inc. v. Finjan
`
`Inc., IPR2016-01444, Paper 11 (P.T.A.B. July 18, 2017) (granting request for
`
`2
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`rehearing when Board found that insufficient consideration was given to
`
`Petitioner’s previous assertions).
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`I.
`
`
`
`The Board Overlooked the Expert Declaration of Dr. Roger Williams in
`Analyzing the Prior Art.
`
`The Board overlooked the Expert Declaration of Dr. Roger Williams (Ex.
`
`1010), and failed to address this declaration entirely in its analysis. This 75-page
`
`declaration, which contained a thorough analysis of the ‘166 patent, its prosecution
`
`history, the prior art, and design need and market pressure, was a critical piece of
`
`evidence in Petitioner’s patentability challenge.
`
`Petitioner’s first ground of unpatentability was obviousness over Daugan1
`
`and The Guideline for Industry2. Petitioner argued in view of Post-KSR law,
`
`Daugan in view of the Guideline for Industry would have taught a person of
`
`ordinary skill (such as Dr. Williams) that it would have been obvious to orally
`
`administer tadalafil (a known compound) in one or more unit doses containing
`
`about 1 to about 20 mg, up to a maximum total dose of 20 mg per day. Petition, pp.
`
`7-13. Petitioner specifically cited the “market pressure to compete with Viagra®
`
`and the design need to avoid side effects of the claimed drug” citing the ‘166
`
`patent and Dr. Williams’s Declaration. Petition at 10. Dr. Williams opined,
`
`1 WO 97/03675, published Feb. 6, 1997 (Ex. 1005) (“Daugan”).
`2 The Guideline for Industry, Dose Response Information to Support Drug
`Registration, published November 9, 1994 (Ex. 1014) (“Guideline for Industry”).
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`“Based on the prior art, a POSA could readily identify a reasonable starting dose at
`
`50 mg, for example, and design ‘reasonable, response guided titration steps’ to
`
`titrate the dose down to a maximum of maximum total dose of 20 mg per day.” Ex.
`
`1010, ¶¶ 166. He reasoned that given the need for fewer side effects and a “finite
`
`number of identified, predictable solutions (a beginning range of 0.2-400 mg, or 50
`
`mg), it would have been obvious to try about 1 to about 20 mg unit dosage forms
`
`as needed, up to a maximum total dose of 20 mg per day”. Ex. 1010, ¶ 167.
`
`Despite noting that Petitioner was relying on the Declaration of Dr. Williams
`
`(Decision at p. 4), the Board never addressed this Declaration in its analysis.
`
`Instead, the Board mistakenly concluded that:
`
`The Guideline for Industry teaches developing dose-response information to
`support drug registration … [but] teachings of the asserted prior art, at best,
`provide “general guidance” to identify a maximum daily dosage of tadalafil.
`Petitioner does not point to any other persuasive evidence to account for the
`claimed limitation. Instead, Petitioner relies on “common sense.”
`
`Decision at p. 9.
`
`This is not accurate. The teachings of the prior art, as laid out in detail in
`
`
`
`Dr. Williams’s Declaration, provided much more than “general guidance,” and
`
`there was ample “other persuasive evidence” to account for the claimed limitation.
`
`Dr. Williams provided a thorough discussion of the Guideline for Industry along
`
`with the ‘166 patent claims, the ‘166 patent’s prosecution history, a discussion of
`
`known phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 inhibitors including sildenafil (Viagra®), the
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`known problems of Viagra®, and other prior art teachings including Daugan, and
`
`Cutler3. See Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 122-202.
`
`A. Dr. Williams Explained that Tadalafil is Similar to Sildenafil, but
`More Potent.
`
`Dr. Williams explained that before the critical date of April 30, 1999,
`
`tadalafil, like sildenafil, was a PDE5(phosphodiesterase-5) inhibitor known to be
`
`effective at treating erectile dysfunction, and both were known to be administered
`
`orally. See Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 22-23. He explained that both sildenafil and tadalafil
`
`share a common mechanism of action and are only pharmacologically active when
`
`cGMP synthesis is activated. Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 20-21. He further explained that PDE
`
`potency is commonly expressed as IC50, the concentration required to reduce the
`
`activity of the tested PDE by 50%. Ex. 1010, ¶ 22. Typically, a lower IC50 value
`
`means a higher potency of the inhibitory agent. Sildenafil was known to have an
`
`IC50 between 3.5–3.9 nM. Ex. 1010, ¶ 22. Tadalafil, was known to have an IC50
`
`of 2 nM. See Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 22-23; see also Petition at 33-34.
`
`Dr. Williams explained that a POSA would recognize that if Cialis 5 mg to
`
`10 mg was comparable to Viagra® 50 -100mg®, then it is common sense and/or
`
`mere optimization for a POSA to arrive at the conclusion that Cialis® could be
`
`provided in 5, 10 and 20 mg doses to compete with Viagra’s 25, 50 and 100 mg per
`
`3 Cutler, et al., Defining the Maximum Tolerated Dose: Investigator, Academic,
`Industry and Regulatory Perspectives, J. Clin. Pharmacol. 1997; 37:767-783
`(“Defining the Maximum Tolerated Dose”).
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`day dosing. See Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 185. Specifically, Dr. Williams opined that a POSA
`
`would know that the adverse event profiles generated by early clinical studies can
`
`be used to construct the pharmacodynamic models of the dose-response curve for
`
`PDE5 inhibitors including tadalafil. Ex. 1010, ¶ 134. Given tadalafil’s known
`
`potency and the finite dose range taught in the prior art of 0.2-400 mg (with a 50
`
`mg example), the design need to maintain efficacy, minimize side effects, and the
`
`market pressure to compete with sildenafil and obtain FDA approval, a POSA
`
`would be motivated to use the “lower” doses up to a maximum total dose of 20 mg
`
`per day. Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 134-146, 185-186.
`
`B. Dr. Williams Established that Known Adverse Effects of PDE5
`Inhibitors Provide Guidance to Lower Dose of Tadalafil
`
`Dr. Williams also explained that, as acknowledged in the ‘166 patent, prior
`
`to the critical date of April 30, 1999, it was widely known that the use of sildenafil
`
`in patients taking organic nitrates caused “a clinically significant drop in blood
`
`pressure which could place the patient in danger.” Ex. 1001 (‘166 patent), col. 1,
`
`line 66- col. 2, line 1; Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 25, 117-120. Dr. Williams opined that since
`
`tadalafil is chemically similar to sildenafil, and also known to be used for treating
`
`sexual dysfunction, a POSA would recognize that similar side effects would be
`
`expected. Ex. 1010, ¶ 120. He also opined that there was a recognized market
`
`need for drug similar to Viagra® that would safer, and effective at lower doses,
`
`specifically below 50 mg. Ex. 1010, ¶ 121.
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`Dr. Williams explained that given tadalafil’s known potency as shown in its
`
`IC50 value, the finite dose range taught in the prior art of 0.2-400 mg, a 50 mg
`
`example, the design need to maintain efficacy and minimize side effects, the
`
`market pressure to compete with sildenafil (Viagra®), and the desire to obtain
`
`FDA approval, a POSA would therefore be motivated to use a therapeutic dose
`
`range that would minimize side effects, and hence, lower the dose up to a
`
`maximum total dose of 20 mg per day. Ex. 1010, ¶ 167, 187-202.
`
`The prior art, and particularly Daugan in view of the Guideline for Industry,
`
`establish that the dose range claimed by Patent Owner would have been obvious as
`
`explained in the Expert Declaration of Dr. Williams. Petition, pp. 7-23. Petitioner
`
`submits that the Board did not fully apprehend the Daugan in view of the Guideline
`
`for Industry proposed combination, leading to a Decision not supported by
`
`substantial evidence. See Merial Ltd., IPR2014-01279, Paper 18 at 8 (P.T.A.B.
`
`Apr. 15, 2015) (“[W]hen we recognize that we have misapprehended or
`
`overlooked a significant fact, the necessary abuse of discretion required by Rule
`
`42.71(c) has been established.”) Therefore, the Decision not to institute inter
`
`partes review should be modified.
`
`C. Dr. Williams Opined on the Purported Unexpected Results of the
`‘166 Patent
`
`The patent examiner’s reasons for allowing the ‘166 patent depended on the
`
`claimed dose range achieving purported “unexpected results.” See Ex. 1009, Pros.
`
`7
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`History, Examiner’s Reasons for Allowance. However, the Board overlooked Dr.
`
`Williams’ opinions and Petitioner’s argument on this critical point.
`
`Dr. Williams opined that given tadalafil’s known potency, and the finite
`
`range to optimize, as taught in Daugan ‘675, the claimed dose range is not
`
`“unexpected” but an obvious result of routine testing or optimization for tadalafil’s
`
`lowest effective dose. Ex. 1010, ¶ 194. In view of this, Petitioner argued that in
`
`granting the ‘166 patent, the Examiner was necessarily applying the obviousness
`
`standards at that time (before the 2007 seminal KSR case), which required an
`
`express teaching, suggestion, or motivation to arrive at the claimed dose range.
`
`While that reasoning was applicable at that time, it is no longer applicable under
`
`the post-KSR legal standards. Petition at 44. Under the current legal standards for
`
`obviousness, the claimed daily dose range (maximum total dose of 20 mg) is part
`
`of a finite range already disclosed in the art (0.2-400 mg, and a 50 mg example),
`
`and it would be obvious to optimize, specifically given the knowledge of the
`
`POSA and the industry guidance discussed herein.
`
`As Petitioners argued, the Federal Circuit has in recent years, established
`
`that evidence supporting superior efficacy at a specific claimed dose “does
`
`nothing to undercut the showing that there was a reasonable expectation of success
`
`even if the level of success may have turned out to be somewhat greater than
`
`would have been expected.” Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. v. Apotex Inc., No. 2013-
`
`8
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`1128 (April 11, 2014). In that case, the Federal Circuit held that a 150 mg monthly
`
`dose, as compared to a 2.5 mg daily dose, with improved efficacy, does not rebut
`
`the strong showing that the prior art disclosed monthly dosing and that there was a
`
`reason to set that dose at 150 mg. This case is particularly applicable here. The
`
`prosecution history of the ‘166 patent shows that the patent was allowed only due
`
`to perceived “unexpected results” in the claimed dose range. Ex. 1009, Pros.
`
`History, Reasons for Allowance. Under post-KSR law, the specific dose range need
`
`not be expressly found in the prior art. Rather, (as explained by Dr. Williams) a
`
`POSA can optimize a dose range to minimize adverse side effects while
`
`maintaining pharmaceutical efficacy. Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 158-188.
`
`However, the Board did not address this argument, and indeed, did not
`
`address the prosecution history at all and the admitted prior art in the ‘166 patent.
`
`The ’166 patent sought to address the known problems of sildenafil including side
`
`effects, including vision abnormalities, hypotension, and, most significantly,
`
`hypotension in individuals who also use organic nitrates. Ex. 1001, col. 2, lines 61-
`
`64. To solve these well-known problems, the applicants for the ’166 patent
`
`provided a well-known solution: tadalafil, a known compound, known to be orally
`
`administered in doses from 0.2-400 mg in a daily dose (with a 50 mg example),
`
`without “significant adverse side effects.” Id. at col. 2, lines 12-21. Ex. 1010, ¶¶
`
`50-51.
`
`9
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`II. The Board Misapprehended the Prior Art’s Teachings Including the
`FDA Petition and Admitted Prior Art
`
`
`
`In addition to overlooking the Declaration of Dr. Williams, the Board also
`
`overlooked the FDA petition in view of admitted prior art under currently
`
`applicable law.4 The Board completely failed to account for the admitted
`
`similarities between sildenafil and tadalafil, the adverse effects of this class of
`
`drugs and consequently, why a lower dose would be obvious to try.
`
`A. Admitted Similarities of Sildenafil and Tadalafil
`
`The ‘166 patent acknowledges that it was already known that tadalafil was
`
`pharmacologically similar to sildenafil, and both were PDE5 inhibitors that were
`
`known to treat sexual dysfunction. Ex. 1001, col. 1, lines 58- col. 2, line 21. The
`
`‘166 patent also admits that it was known that certain side effects limited
`
`sildenafil’s use in certain individuals. Ex. 1001, col. 1, lines 58- 65. The ‘166
`
`patent also admits that tadalafil did not have apparent “significant side effects”
`
`when orally administered in doses of 0.2-400 mg. Id.
`
`Petitioner had previously submitted (in Ground 2) that in view of the FDA
`
`
`4 The Board discounted Exs. 1018 and 1019 as not shown to be publicly accessible
`before April 1999. Decision at 11. While Petitioner respectfully disagrees, these
`documents were not the only documents relied upon. Moreover, Dr. Williams
`opined that a POSA could have requested and obtained the documents. Ex. 1010,
`¶175-176.
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`Petition5, an ordinary artisan “would have known that based on the market pressure
`
`to compete with sildenafil, a drug manufacturer would have to market a drug that
`
`had the same or better efficacy, and in a dose that maintained efficacy but that also
`
`minimized adverse effects.” Petition at 23-24. However, in its analysis, the Board
`
`failed to consider the FDA Petition in the context of the prior art. Indeed, the only
`
`reference to the FDA Petition was when the Board stated that the “FDA Petition
`
`merely addresses the side effects of sildenafil.” Decision at 9.
`
`In analyzing the maximum daily dosage of tadalafil, the Board failed to
`
`consider the prior art’s specific examples of 50 mg doses of tadalafil (Daugan) and
`
`the known adverse effects of PDE5 inhibitors discussed above, as viewed through
`
`the lens of a POSA under currently applicable law.
`
`B. Finite Dose Range to Optimize
`
`Petitioner submitted and Dr. Williams opined that at the very least, given the
`
`finite size of the dose range disclosed in the prior art (0.2-400 mg of orally
`
`administered tadalafil, including a specific 50 mg example), the claimed range of
`
`“about 1 to about 20 mg, up to a maximum total dose of 20 mg per day” would
`
`have been obvious to try. Ex. 1010, ¶¶ 158-167; Petition at 22.
`
`In sum, even if the Board contends that the FDA Petition “merely addresses
`
`
`5 Public letter from Sidney M. Wolfe, M.D., Larry Sasich, Pharm. D., M.P.H., and
`Elizabeth Barbehenn, Ph.D. to Lead Deputy Commissioner for the FDA to petition
`FDA to change the labeling to warn regarding dangers of sildenafil. Ex. 1015.
`
`11
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`the side effects of sildenafil” (Decision at 9), a POSA would have been motivated
`
`to optimize the dose of tadalafil to achieve an effective but safe range based on the
`
`similar nature of sildenafil and tadalafil, and the need for a minimally effective
`
`dose. Given the finite dose range (with a 50 mg example for tadalafil), and the
`
`knowledge that tadalafil was more potent than sildenafil (based on the IC50 as
`
`discussed above), the specific claimed dose range would have been obvious to try.
`
`The Decision misapprehends the FDA Petition by not considering it in view of the
`
`totality of the prior art, and does not address the obvious to try argument at all.
`
`III.
`
`Institution Would Be Consistent with the Board’s Prior Related
`Decision
`
`The Board recently decided to institute Inter Partes Review in IPR2017-
`
`00323 (“Mylan Petition”) which involves the same ‘166 patent (Paper 12, June 12,
`
`2017). In that Decision, the Board found that:
`
`• Daugan teaches that tadalafil is useful for treating male or female
`sexual dysfunction, and that it may be administered orally to treat
`erectile dysfunction in individual tablets or capsules contain from 0.2-
`400mg of active compound, and also “teaches preparing tablets with
`50 mg active compound.” Daugan at 12:15-14:16.
`
`
`
`• The Approval Package for VIAGRA® (“SDNA”) teaches that
`sildenafil is therapeutically effective for treating ED at doses of 25,
`50, and 100 mg and in some patients, doses as low as 5 and 10 mg are
`therapeutically effective over placebo.6
`
`6 The Board found that there was no direct evidence that SDNA was publicly
`available on March 27, 1998, but found an ordinary artisan could have requested
`and obtained the documents. The same logic applies here based on the Expert
`Declaration of Dr. Roger Williams (Ex. 1010) (see Fn 4, infra).
`
`12
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`IPR2017-00412
`
`
`• The FDA Guideline “describes why dose-response information is
`useful and how it should be obtained in the course of drug
`development.”
`
`Paper 12 at 6-7.
`
`
`
`The Petitioner in that case (Mylan) argued that based on the unit doses of
`
`sildenafil and the ratio of IC50 values, it was a routine matter for a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art to identify a safe and effective dose range of tadalafil for
`
`the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Id. at 12. The Board agreed that there was
`
`sufficient evidence to institute inter partes review.
`
`
`
`In the instant case, Petitioner MonoSol also submitted and relied upon the
`
`exact same evidence: (1) Daugan (submitted as Petitioner’s Ex. 1005): (2) the
`
`SNDA (submitted as Petitioner’s Ex. 1011); (3) the FDA Guideline (submitted as
`
`Petitioner’s “Guideline for Industry,” Ex. 1009) - and Dr. Williams relied upon
`
`these references, among other prior art teachings for his technical analysis and
`
`obviousness conclusions. Ex. 1010, ¶¶117-202. It would be inconsistent to find
`
`that there was sufficient evidence in IPR2017-00323, but not in this case,
`
`particularly when the expert testimony of Dr. Williams contains the same analysis.
`
`For at least the reasons set forth herein, the Decision not to institute inter
`
`partes review should be modified.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`For the reasons stated above, Petitioner respectfully requests rehearing and
