fide estimate of the price range and clarify, as applicable, whether $5.00 represents the

Prospectus Summary
Our Pipeline of Product Candidates, page 1
2.We refer to prior comment 9 and reissue in part. Please revise the Pipeline table to
remove the OST-HER-2 Canine Osteosarcoma candidate. In this regard, the Summary
pipeline table should highlight the most significant aspects of your offering, and your
disclosures indicate that you have not conducted any work developing a treatment for
canines and that you do not have plans to commercialize OST-HER-2 for this purpose.
3.Please revise the first column of your pipeline table on pg. 2 and on page 68 so that OST-
HER2 and Folate Receptor Targeted TDC are listed once and not twice in that column.
4.We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 7. To the extent that you
highlight the UDSA conditional license on page 1, please revise to clarify whether you
hold the conditional license or whether it is held by the previous licensee of Advaxis.
Explain whether the conditional license permits full commercialization or rather allows
administration of the drug in the context of veterinary drug trials. Also, revise the
Business section to include a discussion of drug development and regulation in the
veterinary space and provide specific information concerning the conditional license
including its scope and conditions.

response to prior comments 16 and 17. Please further revise to present the Phase 1b
endpoints, the trial results, and your conclusions with respect to the primary and
secondary endpoints/outcome measures. In this regard, investors should be able to assess
how the drug candidate performed relative to the established endpoints, including whether
the reported results were or were not statistically significant, and also assess
your conclusion that "the data presented from the Phase Ib trial demonstrated that
ADXS31-164 was well tolerated."
6.We refer to prior comment 18 and note your revised disclosures concerning your on-going
Phase IIb clinical trial. With a view to disclosure, please tell us whether your present plan
calls for announcement of preliminary or topline data prior to the expected trial
completion date in 2024 and whether any CTCAE Grade 5 (death) treatment emergent
results have been observed to date.
