2.We note your response to our prior comment three. Please delete the statement that you
will complete the requirements for submissions of a New Drug Application in 2020. The
statement predicting the completion of trials that you have not submitted an application to
begin is speculative, assumes positive results and is not appropriate. We will not object
to an estimate concerning the length of clinical trials. However, you should also indicate
that the FDA may not agree with your trial design and the trials may take longer than
anticipated.

completion..., page 64
3.We note that the forum selection provision in your amended and restated certificate of
incorporation identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive
forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether
this provision applies to actions arising under the Exchange Act. Also ensure that the
exclusive forum provision in your proposed organizational documents states this clearly.
In this regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal
jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, we note that you select the
federal district courts as the exclusive forum for causes of action arising under the
Securities Act. Please revise your disclosure to address the uncertainty regarding the
enforceability of this provision.
You may contact Rolf Sundwall at 202-551-3105 or Sharon Blume at 202-551-3474 if
you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and related matters. Please
