Prospectus Summary
Our Product Candidates, page 1
| 1. | We refer to your revised pipeline tables here and on page 78. Your tables suggest that you have completed each of the trials that you are currently conducting; however, your disclosures indicate that your preclinical or clinical trials remain ongoing. For example, and without limitation, your tables suggest that you have completed Phase 1 trials of ANB020 for three indications but your disclosures in the paragraphs immediately below each table indicate that your Phase 1 trials remain ongoing. Accordingly, please revise your tables to clarify the current development status for each product candidate and indication, or advise. In addition, revise the tables to include a column illustrating your need to conduct Phase 3 trials prior to commercialization. |
The Company advises that in response to the Staff’s comments we have revised the disclosures on pages 2 and 78 of the Registration Statement.
