that the Company currently estimates a price range of $[*] to $[*] per share (the &#147;Preliminary Price<B> </B>Range&#148;) for the initial public offering (the &#147;IPO&#148;) of the Company&#146;s common stock, resulting in a midpoint of the
Preliminary Price Range of $[*] per share (the &#147;Midpoint<B> </B>Price&#148;). The Company anticipates implementing a reverse stock split prior to printing its preliminary prospectus and commencing its road show, and will present post-stock
split share numbers and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">per-share</FONT> price information in the amendment of the Registration Statement that includes the price range. This response letter presents all share numbers and per share price information
on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-stock</FONT> split basis. Prior to printing preliminary prospectuses and commencing the roadshow, the Company and its underwriters will further refine and narrow this price range so the breadth of the
price range is consistent with Commission guidance.&nbsp;The Preliminary Price Range has been estimated based on a number of factors, including the progress of the Company&#146;s preclinical studies and research programs, the Company&#146;s clinical
trials, prospects for the biotechnology industry, other developments in the Company&#146;s business, input received from the Company&#146;s &#147;testing the waters meetings,&#148; current market conditions and input received from BofA Securities,
Inc., SVB Leerink LLC, Barclays Capital Inc. and William Blair&nbsp;&amp; Company, L.L.C. (the &#147;Lead<B> </B>Underwriters&#148;), including discussions that took place between January&nbsp;10 and January&nbsp;24, 2022 among representatives of

liquidity for the Company&#146;s common stock and assumes a successful IPO with no weighting attributed to any other outcome for the Company&#146;s business, such as remaining a privately held company or being sold in an acquisition transaction. As
is typical for initial public offerings, the Preliminary Price Range was not derived using a formal determination of fair value but was determined as a result of discussions among representatives of the Company and the Lead Underwriters. During
these discussions, the parties considered quantitative factors, as well as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-quantitative</FONT> factors, such as the valuations of recently completed public offerings and evaluating those issuers&#146; respective
stages of development as compared to the Company, the current valuations of public companies at a similar stage of development as the Company taking into account the number of programs of those companies as compared to the Company and recent market
conditions. Prior to January&nbsp;24, 2022, the Lead Underwriters had not provided the Company with any specific estimated price range. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company advises the Staff that the Preliminary Price Range represents the Company&#146;s belief of what the indicative price range, on a <FONT

result from various factors, including but not limited to then-current market conditions and subsequent business, market and other developments affecting the Company and its markets. The indicative price range to be included in the preliminary
prospectus will be included in an amendment to the Registration Statement prior to distribution of any preliminary prospectus to potential investors. </P>

Company&#146;s approach to accounting for share-based compensation and factors considered by the Company in determining fair value of its common stock. In particular, the fair value of the Company&#146;s common stock has historically been determined
by the Company&#146;s Board of Directors (the &#147;Board&#148;), with input from management and corroboration from contemporaneous, independent third-party valuations (each, a &#147;Valuation Report,&#148; and collectively, the &#147;Valuation
Reports&#148;). In addition, below the Company has described the chronological order of how the Company determined the valuation of its common stock. </P>

Equity Securities Issued as Compensation (the &#147;AICPA Practice Aid&#148;) identifies various available methods for allocating enterprise value across classes and series of capital stock to determine the estimated fair value of common stock at
each valuation date. Starting in May 2020 and throughout 2021, the Company used the Probability-Weighted Expected Return Method (&#147;PWERM&#148;), which is the preferred method when the range of possible future outcomes and liquidity events for a
company, including an IPO, has narrowed, giving the company a higher degree of confidence in the achievement of a particular outcome. The PWERM is a scenario-based analysis that estimates value per share based on the probability-weighted present
value of expected future investment returns considering each of the possible forecasted outcomes as well as the rights of each class of stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;9, 2021, the Board approved the common stock option repricing whereby options that were granted at an exercise price of $1.57 on
February&nbsp;6, 2021 were repriced on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">one-for-one</FONT></FONT> basis to $1.14 per share, which the Board determined represented the fair value of the Company&#146;s common stock
as of the date of the repricing as discussed in more detail below. Given the proximity in time from the original grants on February&nbsp;6, 2021 to the subsequent grants on June&nbsp;9, 2021 that reflected the uncertainty in the Company&#146;s
prospects, the continued closings of the Company&#146;s Series C convertible preferred stock financing, the transitions in the Company&#146;s management team with the hiring of Dr.&nbsp;Christopher Heery as the Company&#146;s new Chief Medical
Officer in April 2021 and Neeraj Teotia as the Company&#146;s new Chief Commercial Officer in April 2021; the delay in the Company&#146;s IPO, and the overall macroeconomic uncertainty due to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT>
pandemic, the Board determined to implement the repricing of these options. The February&nbsp;6, 2021 options did not have any other modifications to their terms. </P>

options in February 2021. Under the guidance of ASC 718, additional incremental expense is recognized in connection with a modification, such as repricing, and is allocated between vested (requisite service provided) and unvested (requisite service
expected to be provided) portions of the original award. The vested portion of the incremental expense is recognized immediately per ASC
