Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2008

3. Please reconcile the amounts shown as deficit accumulated during the development stage of $13,859,039 shown on your balance sheet with your net loss since inception of $477,768 shown on the income statement.

There is no reconciliation of the $13,859,039 originally reported on our financial statements. Rather, this amount has been adjusted to eliminate the deficit accumulated during the development stage of Vyrex Corporation, as Vyrex Corporation is no longer the reporting entity.

Please also provide us with this rollforward.

We agree with the Staff’s comments regarding revising future filings to provide a rollforward of our stockholders’ equity. Our amended Forms 10-Q will include a rollforward of our stockholders’ equity from December 31, 2007, showing the adjustments that we recorded to reflect the recapitalization in February 2008.

 PART I

ITEM 8A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 As of the end of the
period covered by this report, the Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and President concluded that, at December 31, 2007, the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and
submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

 Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting.

 Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over
financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.

 All internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the
circumvention of overriding of controls. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because
of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may also fail to prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 Our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making its assessment of internal control over financial
reporting, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

 This annual report does not
include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 There have been no changes in internal control
over financial reporting.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 To the Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders of Vyrex Corporation

 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vyrex Corporation (a development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vyrex Corporation (a development stage
enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has
incurred recurring operating losses, has a working capital deficiency and a net capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
