Title of Proposal: Large-Scale Manufacturing of Antibodies Directed to SARS-CoV-2

1.0    INTRODUCTION, SCOPE, AND OBJECTIVES

A. Preamble

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (referred to herein as “Regeneron”, “Offeror”, “Contractor” or “Recipient”) has demonstrated experience with rapid scale-up of biopharmaceutical programs.  Our excellent history of receiving development scale processes from Research and Development (R&D) laboratories, and then expanding to clinical or commercial Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) scale production, is well documented. [* * *] We have consistently demonstrated our ability to expedite the delivery of high quality, safe and efficacious products (Ebola therapeutic) in partnership with the Government (anti-MERS, anti-Ebola).
Fully human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are molecules with high potency, predictable Pharmacokinetics (PK), and limited off-target toxicity, and thus provide attractive types of therapeutics for emerging diseases. Importantly, we have repeatedly demonstrated that candidate mAb-based drugs to prevent and/or treat emerging infections, can be rapidly obtained from Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® mice. Further, our ability to concurrently generate isogenic cell lines that are optimized for rapid antibody scale up and manufacturing using our proprietary Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) platform technologies, have facilitated both testing of our mAbs in preclinical models and subsequent development of these mAbs into drugs suitable for human testing. In the process of completing many of these activities we have collaborated with other entities (including BARDA, Research Institutes, Government Laboratories and Universities). Our manufacturing has been designed to be paired with our proprietary VelocImmune® R&D technology, that is a proven process to rapidly take a research concept from the bench, into large scale production, with the ability to delivery medicines to patients.

The Government has advised Regeneron that it is appropriate for the project described in this Project Agreement to be performed through the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC), under the authority of the MCDC Other Transaction Agreement No. W15QKN-16-9-1002.  Regeneron is amenable to performing the project pursuant to such authority, based on the advice of the Government, and due to the unprecedented circumstances of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and, accordingly, the parties have entered into this Project Agreement. 

[* * *]





B. Overall Objectives and Scope

This project is defined by discrete work segments for the continuous manufacture of drug substance, formulated drug substance and filled, packaged and labeled drug product, in accordance with a mutually agreed schedule.

Pursuant to this project, Regeneron will manufacture and sell drug product to the applicable United States (U.S.) Federal Government agency, for distribution in the U.S. All manufacturing described herein will be compliant with Food and Drug Administration (FDA) current Good Manufacturing Oractices (cGMP), as 21 CFR 210 and 211.

1.1    Introduction

The objective is to conduct the manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically.

1.2    Scope

These manufacturing production activities will include manufacturing at-scale, filling and finishing, and storage and shipping of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific monoclonal antibodies (referred to herein as the “prototype”, the “prototype product”, the “product” or “drug product”) for treatment and/or prophylaxis against COVID-19.

1.3    Definition of the Prototype Project

Consistent with USG objectives, Regeneron will employ its proprietary manufacturing technology and processes, in a manner compliant with applicable laws and regulations, including 21 CFR 210 and 211 and the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, to manufacture the prototype product. This effort constitutes a prototype project because it will be used to evaluate the technical feasibility of manufacturing the prototype product during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this is a prototype project because Regeneron will demonstrate, and prove-out the at-scale, multi-lot proprietary manufacturing activities of Regeneron in order to assess the feasibility of these activities to support the necessary quantity of the prototype product to treat the U.S. population. Successful completion of the prototype project will demonstrate Regeneron’s capability to (i) rapidly manufacture product, which can be further scaled-up to meet mutually agreed to surge requirements with little advance notification and (ii) facilitate the Government’s ability to stockpile and distribute large quantities of the drug product to respond when needed, including for use in clinical studies, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), or pursuant to other clearance from the U.S. FDA. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the
[* * *]




specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work, shall be subject to a separate mutual agreement between Regeneron and the Government.

The scope of effort supported by this agreement is further clarified in Section 1.4. It is important to note that nonclinical and clinical studies for the prototype are being conducted by Regeneron outside of this agreement. The results of those studies may be used to develop use case scenarios and, in turn, inform the USG’s deployment strategy as it relates to product manufactured under this agreement; however, such results (including the degree to which the data are “positive” or “negative”) shall not be a factor in this prototype project.

1.4    Objective

Conduct its proprietary manufacturing production activities described in this proposal for prototypes consisting of novel, proprietary mAb therapeutics and prophylactics, to reduce pathology of COVID-19 disease and/or prevent development of disease when administered prophylactically.
The prototypes will include one or more of the following, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government:
the mAbs known as REGN10987 and REGN10933, as a cocktail;
Other mAbs (as monotherapies or a cocktail) as agreed to by bilateral modification between Offeror and the Government.
The deliverables will be the products listed above (i.e., REGN10987 and REGN10933), in the form of bulk formulated drug substance and/or filled and finished product in vials, as mutually agreed between Offeror and the Government, packaged and labeled drug product, results, reports and records associated with generation of data demonstrating quality and control.
The products will be delivered in the form and quantity to be agreed between Offeror and the Government. It is expected that the prototypes will be stored by Offeror until such time as (a) they can be used for pre-clinical or clinical development purposes under an Investigational New Drug application (IND), or (b) upon the FDA’s grant of an EUA under Section 564 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), or full marketing approval under a full Biologics License Application (BLA) under Section 351(a) of the Public Health Service Act (PHSA).

1.5    Follow-on Activity

In accordance with 10.U.S.C. 2371b(f), and upon successful demonstration of the prototype, or at the accomplishment of particularly favorable or unexpected results achieved outside of this Agreement that would justify transitioning to production (e.g., EUA or BLA), additional at-scale manufacturing of [* * *], supported by a mutually agreed upon follow-on production contract or Other Transaction Agreement, may be awarded to Regeneron, without further competition, to partially or completely meet the USG objective of supplying a safe and effective COVID-19 therapeutic or prophylactic treatment courses to ensure nationwide
[* * *]




access. For clarity, any manufacturing and supply of drug product in excess of the specific quantities set forth in Section 4.0 of this Statement of Work shall be subject to a mutually-agreed upon separate agreement between Regeneron and the Government. For further clarity, neither party shall be obligated to negotiate or enter into such a separate agreement for follow-on production.

During the performance of the prototype project, the Government and contractor may negotiate the scope and price of follow-on production.

a.Allocation of Principal Rights
The parties agree that the Bayh-Dole statute does not apply to this Project Agreement. Ownership of inventions Made in the performance of this Project Agreement shall follow inventorship, and inventorship shall be determined in accordance with United States patent laws. With respect to any Subject Invention Made (in whole or in part) by or on behalf of Regeneron, unless Regeneron shall have notified the Government (in accordance with Subparagraph b. below) that Regeneron does not intend to properly disclose and elect title to a Subject Invention, Regeneron shall retain the entire right, title, and interest throughout the world to such Subject Invention, and the Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice or have practiced on behalf of the United States the Subject Invention throughout the world. This license does not include the right to use or allow others to use the Subject Invention for commercial purposes. If Regeneron does not properly disclose and elect title to any such Subject Invention (in
[* * *]




accordance with Subparagraph b. below), then the Government may exercise its rights to seek ownership of such Subject Invention, pursuant to clause 7.2.c. below.

b.Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, and Filing of Patent Application
i.Regeneron shall disclose in writing each Subject Invention to the OTTR within 12 months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Regeneron personnel responsible for patent matters. The disclosure shall identify the inventor(s) and this Project Agreement under which the Subject Invention was made. It shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding of the Subject Invention. The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale (i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the Subject Invention, or whether a manuscript describing the Subject Invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication. In addition, after disclosure to the Government funding agency (HHS/BARDA), Regeneron shall promptly notify the OTTR of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the Subject Invention for publication and any on sale or public use.
ii.Regeneron shall elect in writing whether or not to retain ownership of any Subject Invention by notifying the OTTR within 2 years of disclosure to the Government funding agency. However, in any case where publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, the period for election of title may be shortened by the agency to a date that is no more than 60 calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.
iii.Regeneron shall file either a provisional or a non-provisional patent application for an elected Subject Invention within 1 year after election of title. However, in any case where a publication, on sale, or public use has initiated the 1-year statutory period during which valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States, Regeneron shall file the application prior to the end of that statutory period. If Regeneron files an initial provisional application, it shall file a non-provisional application within 10 months of the filing of the initial provisional application. Regeneron shall include a Government Support Clause (GSC) within the specification of any United States patent applications and any patent issuing thereon covering a subject invention.
iv.Regeneron may request extensions of time for disclosure, election, or filing under subparagraphs (b)(i), (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) of this clause. An extension of time for each deadline, may be granted at the discretion of the Government funding agency.
v.If Regeneron determines that it does not intend to elect to retain title to any such Subject Invention, Regeneron shall notify the Government, in writing, within two (2) years of disclosure to the Government. However, in any case where publication, sale, or public use has initiated the one (1)-year statutory
[* * *]




period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may be shortened by the Government to a date that is no more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.

c.Conditions When the Government May Obtain Title
Upon the Government’s written request, Regeneron shall convey title to any Subject Invention to the Government funding agency if Regeneron fails to disclose the Subject Invention or elects not to retain title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in Subparagraph b of Section 7.2. The Government may request title after learning of the failure of Regeneron to disclose or elect within the specified times for an unlimited time. The Government funding agency may request title upon Regeneron’s omission to timely file patent applications in any country. The Government funding agency may request title in any country in which Regeneron decides to discontinue prosecution.

d.Rights to Regeneron and Protection of Regeneron’s Right to File
Regeneron shall retain a fully paid up, sub-licensable, nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title. Regeneron license extends to Regeneron’s subsidiaries and other affiliates (outside this Agreement), if any, within the corporate structure of which Regeneron is a party and includes the right to grant licenses of the same scope to the extent that Regeneron was legally obligated or permitted to do so at the time the Project Agreement was executed. The license is otherwise transferable only with the approval of the Government, except when transferred to an Affiliate or successor of that part of Regeneron’s business to which the Subject Invention pertains.  The Government approval for license transfer shall be provided on a timely basis (and in no event later than 90 calendar days following Regeneron’s request) and shall not be unreasonably withheld.
i.The Regeneron license may be revoked or modified by the Government to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious Practical Application of the Subject Invention pursuant to an application for an exclusive or nonexclusive license submitted consistent with appropriate provisions at 37 CFR Part 404. Regeneron’s license shall not be revoked in that field of use or the geographical areas in which Regeneron has achieved Practical Application of the Subject Invention and continues to make the benefits of the Subject Invention accessible to the public.
ii.Before revocation or modification of Regeneron’s license, the Government shall furnish Regeneron with a written notice of its intention to revoke or modify the license, which notice shall include a detailed explanation of the reasons for such revocation or modification, and Regeneron shall be allowed thirty (30) calendar days (or such other time as may be authorized for good cause shown) after the notice to show cause why the license should not be revoked or modified.

[* * *]




e.Action to Protect the Government’s Interest
Regeneron agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to the Government all instruments necessary to (i) establish or confirm the rights the Government has throughout the world in those Subject Inventions to which Regeneron elects to retain title, and (ii) convey title to the Government when requested under Subparagraph c of this Section 7.2 and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection throughout the world in that Subject Invention.
i.Regeneron agrees to require, by written agreement, its employees, other than clerical and non-technical employees, to disclose promptly in writing to personnel identified as responsible for the administration of patent matters and in a format suggested by Regeneron, each Subject Invention made under this Agreement so Regeneron can comply with the disclosure provisions of this Section 7.2. Regeneron shall use reasonable efforts to instruct employees, through employee agreements or other suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to U.S. or foreign statutory bars.
ii.Regeneron shall notify the Government of any decisions not to continue the prosecution of a patent application for a Subject Invention, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent of a Subject Invention, in any country, not less than thirty (30) calendar days before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.

Regeneron shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under Agreement MCDC2020-504, awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Government has certain rights in the invention.”

f.Lower Tier Agreements
Regeneron shall ensure that its Affiliate agreements and Sub-Recipient Agreements regardless of tier, for experimental, developmental, or research work entered into after the Effective Date and submitted for reimbursement under this Agreement, contain invention reporting and assignment requirements sufficient to permit Regeneron to comply with this Section 7.2.

g.Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions
i.Regeneron agrees to submit, during the term of this Project Agreement, an annual report on the utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that is being made by Regeneron or its licensees or assignees. Such reports shall include information regarding the status of development, date of first commercial sale or use, and such other data and information as the agency may reasonably specify. Regeneron also agrees to
[* * *]




provide additional reports as may be requested by the Government in connection with any march-in proceedings undertaken by the Government in accordance with Subparagraph h of this Section 7.2. Consistent with 35 U.S.C. § 202(c)(5), the Government agrees it shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without permission of Regeneron.
ii.All required reports shall be submitted to the e-room, OTAS, OTAO, and OTTR.

h.Compulsory Licensing Rights
Regeneron agrees that, with respect to any Subject Invention in which it has retained title, the Government has the right to require Regeneron, an assignee, or exclusive licensee of a Subject Invention to grant a non-exclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, and if Regeneron, assignee, or exclusive licensee refuses such a request, the Government has the right to grant such a license within the Field itself only if the Government determines that:

Rather, this section should highlight technical, cost, and schedule performance for the quarter, and report overall progress towards successful technology transition and implementation – an executive summary-like synopsis. This section should also be used to cite project-related concerns.
Properly crafted, this section is typically about one-half page in length.

2.Project Quad Chart
Quad charts are used for many purposes, including high level briefings. Therefore, it is imperative that information be current and accurate, especially in regards to the lower quadrants. The text - where populated - in the quad chart below is for sample purposes only.
