For ease of review, we have set forth below each of the numbered comments of your letter and the Company’s responses thereto. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement.

3. Please clarify the reasons for delays in your trials.

 

Response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the delays in the Company’s trials are due to the need for proceeds from this offering to execute its development plan.

In addition, the Company respectfully notes that the only patent application number not available is for the Japanese national phase patent application and advises the Staff that the patent application number will be available within a few months.
