Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2024 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Research and Development, page 75 1. We are partially reissuing this comment, as your discussion and analysis do not include the disaggregated research and development expense disclosure that you agreed to provide in a prior review. Please revise future filings to disclose whether you track your research and development expenses by program and/or by product candidates. If so, provide a disaggregated disclosure. If not, please disclose that fact along with the reason for not tracking them separately. Additionally, consider providing a disaggregated disclosure by the nature of costs. Financial Condition, page 75 2. We are reissuing this comment as we note that your liquidity discussion and analysis no longer includes the known contractual obligation and contingency disclosures that you added during a prior review, given your going March 31, 2025 Page 2 concern and the need for future funding. Please revise future filings to expand your financial condition disclosure to include a liquidity discussion that analyzes material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations, including significant future lease obligations and any other contingencies.

Please enhance your disclosures in future filings to provide qualitative and quantitative information necessary to understand the estimation uncertainty and the impact critical accounting estimates have had or are reasonably likely to have on your financial condition and results of operations. The disclosures should supplement, not duplicate, the description of accounting policies or other disclosures in the notes to the financial statements. Refer to Item 303(b)(3) of Regulation S-K and SEC Release No. 33-8350. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Financial Statements 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page F-9 4.
