Re: Advaxis, Inc. Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Filed February 3, 2005 File Number 333-122504

Dear Mr. Derbin:

We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

FORM SB-2

General

1. Please note that where we provide examples to illustrate what we mean by our comments, they are examples and not complete lists. If our comments are applicable to portions of the filing that we have not cited as examples, please make the appropriate changes in accordance with our comments.

2. Please complete all of the non-pricing blank sections of your filing prior to filing your next amendment.

Prospectus Summary, page 3

3. Your summary does not present a balanced view of your business. Currently, your summary is a detailed discussion of only the positive aspects of your company`s business and products. Please revise the summary to present a balanced picture. The revised discussion should include, among other things, your history of losses, accumulated deficit, size of staff, extent of operations, that you have no commercially viable products or FDA approved products, and that you expect to continue incurring substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability. Please also note that the balancing disclosure you provide should be no less prominent than your positive disclosure. This means that you cannot satisfy the comment by merely providing a cross-reference to the risk factors section.

4. Your registration statement on Form SB-2 should include all material information related to the transaction you are registering. Consequently, it is not appropriate to have disclosure related to your filing incorporated by reference. Please remove this statement from the first paragraph in this section. Additionally, please revise your prospectus to specifically include information you previously incorporated by reference. We may have further comment.

5. Please disclose your website URL pursuant to Item 101(c)(3) of Regulation S-B.

6. As you have chosen to include a summary of your strategy, please revise to include a discussion of the risks and obstacles you must address in implementing this strategy.

7. Please disclose in the Summary, a discussion of your independent accountant`s statement as it relates to your ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk Factors

General

8. Please revise the risk factors where appropriate to replace generic language with specific disclosure of exactly how these risks have affected and will affect your operations, financial condition or business, and if practicable to quantify, the specific and immediate effects to investors of each risk that you have identified. For example, you use general phrases such as "adversely affect" or "materially adversely affected" throughout the risk factor section. These generic phrases are subject to varying interpretations and, therefore, do not adequately explain the risk or concern to which you refer. 9. We note the discussion under "Blue Sky" on page 70. Please include a separate risk factor to address the risk posed by restrictions on sales to or by shareholders in states where secondary trading is not authorized.

10. Please include a separate stand-alone risk factor discussing your independent auditors` opinion that because of your losses, working capital deficiency, and shareholders` deficiency they have substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going concern.

11. Please include a separate risk factor disclosing the risks presented by the fact that you have no manufacturing, sales, marketing or distribution capabilities.

12. Please include a risk factor that addresses the risks associated with conducting clinical trials. Your disclosure should include the possibility of not enrolling enough patients, costs, FDA non- approval, etc.

13. To the extent applicable, please include a risk factor, which discusses risks associated with reliance and use of third-party manufacturers and suppliers.

We are a development stage company ..., page 8

14. Please revise the disclosure to indicate that as a result of continuing losses, you may exhaust your resources and be unable to complete the development of your products. Additionally, clearly state that your accumulated deficit will continue to increase as you continue to incur losses.

We will require substantial additional financing in order to meet our business ..., page 8

15. Please revise your disclosure to state that even if you receive additional financing, you may not be able to complete planned clinical trials, development, manufacturing and marketing of any or all of your product candidates.

16. Notwithstanding your cross-reference to the MD& A section, please disclose with more specificity the consequences of not raising sufficient long-term capital.

We must comply with significant government ..., page 9

17. As currently written, this risk factor is cumbersome and difficult to read. Your detailed discussion of clinical trials and the FDA`s Fast Track programs are likely not appropriate but rather its description should be kept to the "Governmental Regulation" section. Please revise the risk factor discussion to include only that information which is relevant to explain the risk to which you refer to in your subheading.

Because we will not pay cash dividends, investors may have to sell ...,page 14

18. As currently worded, this risk factor could apply to any issuer or any offering. Unless there is unique or company specific reason for including this type of disclosure, please remove it from this section. Please revise or advise.

The biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries are characterized ..., page 14

19. Please disclose the names of your key competitors and, to the extent easily obtainable, their respective shares of your target market.

The price of our common stock may be volatile ..., page 15

20. If you have experienced any of the difficulties described in the bullet points, please revise to describe the difficulties you have experienced and the actual or expected consequences.

21. In order to demonstrate the volatility in your stock price, please quantify the high and low price during each of the past three years

Additional authorized shares of common stock available for issuance ..., page 19

22. Please quantify the number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants.

23. Please revise to quantify the number of shares eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144. If all of the shares of common stock being registered in this transaction are subject to and would be sold pursuant to Rule 144, please so state.

Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Plan of Operation

Overview, page 25 24. Your disclosure that the Share Exchange with Advaxis was treated as a reverse merger where Advaxis was the accounting acquirer appears to be inconsistent with your disclosure that the Share Exchange is treated as a recapitalization of Advaxis rather than a business combination. Since the Share Exchange with Advaxis was a capital transaction and not a business combination, please remove any disclosures in the filing that refer to a reverse merger or an accounting acquirer.

Research and Development, page 26

25. Your current disclosure of research and development expenses merely recites the amount by and how cash flows changed from one period to the next. Please revise the discussion to explain the significant variations in the line items between the periods presented. Specifically you should explain why the change occurred. See the SEC`s guidance regarding management`s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (Release No. 33- 8350). For example, we note manufacturing expenses decreased by nearly 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as compared to a year earlier, please explain what accounted for the change.

26. Please refer to the Division of Corporation Finance "Current Issues and Rulemaking Projects Quarterly Update" under section VIII - Industry Specific Issues - Accounting and Disclosure by Companies Engaged in Research and Development Activities. You can find it at the following website address: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/cfcrq032001.htm#secviii. Please disclose the following information for each of your major research and development projects:

* The costs incurred during each period presented and to date on the project; * The nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts necessary to complete the project; * The anticipated completion dates; * The risks and uncertainties associated with completing development on schedule, and the consequences to operations, financial position and liquidity if the project is not completed timely; and finally * The period in which material net cash inflows from significant projects are expected to commence.

To the extent that information requested above is not known or estimable, disclose that fact and the reason why it is not known.

Accounting Policies; Impact of Growth, page 26

27. Consistent with Section V of Financial Reporting Release 72, Commission Guidance Regarding Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, please discuss accounting estimates or assumptions that may be material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change, and that have a material impact on financial condition or operating performance.

28. Please expand your disclosure to discuss the revenue recognition criteria outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 that will be followed when you recognize revenue for license fees and grants. Please disclose your revenue recognition policy in Note 1, Principal Business Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Please refer to SAB Topic 13B.

Results of Operations, page 27

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Nine Months Ended Sept 30, 2003, page 27

29. Please expand your disclosures to clarify the reason why certain research and development and general and administrative expenses changed from 2003 to 2004.
