Dear Thomas Meyer:
We have limited our review of your registration statement to those issues we have
addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and

Registration Statement on Form F-1 Filed February 16, 2023
General
1.We note statements in numerous places throughout the registration statement stating or
suggesting that your OligoPhore and SemaPhore peptide polyplex platform
technology is "safe and effective." By way of example only, please see the first graphic
preceding the Table of Contents and pages 1, 11, 57, and 79. Similarly, your discussions
of various clinical trials include statements that your product candidates are "safe and well
tolerated" or have a "favorable safety profile," such as on pages 55-57 and 84, 88, and
89. Please remove all statements throughout your registration statement that state or
imply your conclusions regarding the safety or efficacy of your product candidates and

technologies, as these determinations are solely within the authority of the FDA and
comparable regulatory bodies. With respect to safety, we will not object to statements that
your product candidates are well-tolerated, if true, or that no serious adverse events
deemed to be study related were reported. You may also present a balanced summary of
objective pre-clinical and clinical data, including whether clinical trials trial met primary
and secondary endpoints, without including your conclusions related to efficacy.
2.With reference to the first page of graphics, please revise these graphics to adhere to plain
English principles or remove them. In this regard, we note that these graphics include
scientific and technical information without context and as such the content is likely to be
unfamiliar to the average investor. Refer to Question 101.02 of our Securities Act Forms
Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for guidance.
3.The pipeline table should graphically demonstrate the current status of your product
candidates as well as indicate the material stages you will need to complete prior to
regulatory approval and commercialization. In this regard:
•We note you have included five columns that all appear to relate to pre-clinical
development, which could inappropriately create the impression of further candidate
progress. The narrative discussion of your programs is a more appropriate place to
make distinctions regarding different segments within a particular development
phase. Please revise to combine such columns, and note that we will not object to
pre-clinical stage columns of equal width labeled as "Discovery" and/or "IND-
enabling."
•Also, please revise to add separate columns of equal width for each of Phase 1, Phase
2, and Phase 3 clinical testing.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
Please contact Lauren Hamill at 303-844-1008 or Joe McCann at 202-551-6262 with any
other questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
