CIK No. 0001801834
Dear Mr. Hazum:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
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 providing the requested information and either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not

comments.
Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted May 12, 2020
Prospectus Summary
Overview, page 1
1.We note your response to comment 1, which we reissue. Your disclosure continues to
state your conclusion that your proprietary extended release drug-delivery system
prolongs the in vivo activity of active pharmaceutical ingredients, thus increasing the
therapeutic window for patient treatment. You may replace this statement with a
description of clinical trials and the resulting data without drawing conclusions with
respect to efficacy. Similarly, we note your response to comment 2, which we reissue.
Although you may be permitted by a regulator to conduct clinical trials, statements
indicating safety or efficacy are premature and inappropriate because these determinations

are assessed by applicable regulators during all phases of clinical trials and you have not
secured marketing approval. Please revise your document to remove all statements that
indicate or imply that your product candidates are safe or effective, including preliminary
indications of safety or efficacy. As a non-exhaustive list of illustrative examples only, we
note the following:
•PRF-110's physical characteristics and composition are key to its safety, efficacy and
ease of use.
•We have amassed an extensive safety toxicology portfolio for PRF-110,
demonstrating its tolerability and safety in both healthy controls and in surgical
patients.
•Based on the extensive safety studies and the positive Phase 2, results, the FDA has
granted our company and IND for PRF-110 and approved the initiation of Phase 3
trials for post-operative pain.
•No safety issues were raised, and PRF-110 showed a superior performance when
administered to nonoperated sites when compared to either a placebo or ropivacaine
alone.
•PRF-110 was well tolerated and demonstrated an excellent safety profile.
Additionally, with reference to your disclosure that in a Phase 1 study, PRF-110 showed a
superior performance when administered to non-operated sites when compared to either a
placebo or ropivacaine, please revise your disclosure to explain what you mean by "non-
operated" sites.

2.We note your response to comment 9, which we reissue in part. Your disclosure indicating
the number of annual deaths from drug overdose does not appear to be material to an
investor's understanding of your business. Please delete this statement. We will not object
to disclosure that discusses your potential addressable market.
Intellectual Property, page 56
3.Please also provide the expiry dates for your issued patents.
