You disclose the following on page 66, "Our direct research and development expenses also include fees incurred under third-party license agreements. We use our employee and infrastructure resources across multiple research and development projects. We do not allocate employee costs and costs associated with our facilities, including depreciation or other indirect costs, to specific product candidates because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and, as such, are not separately classified. We use internal resources to manage CMO and CRO activities. These employees work across multiple programs. We do not track our costs by product candidate. Please provide revised disclosure to be included in future filings to address the following: Revise to clarify the extent to which you track any research and development expenses by product or program, particularly including your direct expenses. April 28, 2025 Page 2 To the extent you do track any expenses, revise your future filings to break out the tracked research and development expenses by product candidate (e.g., DA-1241, DA1726). If you do not track any expenses by product or program, including your direct expenses, please disclose that fact and explain why not. For all other research and development expenses, provide us with other quantitative or qualitative disclosure that provides more transparency as to the type of research and development expenses incurred (i.e., by nature or type of expense) for each period presented which should reconcile to total research and development expense on the Statements of Operations. In closing, 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.
