File No. 333-248447

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Virios Therapeutics, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (the “Registrant”),
hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-248447), as
amended (the “Registration Statement”), so that it may become effective at 5:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, December

The
Registrant hereby acknowledges that:

 (i) should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
 “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective,
it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

 (ii) the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant
to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement; and

 (iii) the Registrant may not assert the action of the Commission
or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective as a defense in any proceeding
initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please
contact Darrick M. Mix of Duane Morris LLP, counsel to the Company, at (215) 979-1206, as soon as the Registration Statement has

On behalf of our client, Virios Therapeutics,
LLC (the “Registrant”), we are responding to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated September 23, 2020 (the
 “Comment Letter”) relating to the above referenced Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the

Set forth below are the Registrant’s
responses to the Staff’s comments. The numbering of the paragraphs below corresponds to the numbering of the Staff’s
comments in the Comment Letter, which for your convenience we have incorporated into this response letter. Page references in the
text of this response letter correspond to the page numbers of the Registration Statement filed today.

 1. We note your response to prior comment 1, including your revised disclosure at the top of page 5. Please further revise
to delete the mitigating disclosure regarding the serious adverse effect. Please also update the text in the first paragraph of
this section as it currently continues to refer to the deleted graphic.

(NCT01850420), page 78

 2. As previously stated in our prior comment 7, please ensure that your narrative disclosure clearly explains the results in
your table that is now on page 81. For example, it does not appear that there is narrative discussion covering the 30% pain reduction
endpoints. Please also clarify if the results are not statistically significant, (or if the studies were not powered for statistical
significance with respect to certain endpoints), as you state that IMC-1 exhibited "significant" improvements across
 "a full battery of secondary outcomes."

The Registrant has revised page 80 to clarify the
disclosure relating to pain reduction endpoints and explain that the pain reduction endpoints are not statistically
significant.

Employment Agreements,

 3. In your response to prior comment 13 you state Mr. Burch will resign as President upon completion of the offering, but you
only appear to disclose the planned resignation of Mr. Burch in a footnote on page 99. Please revise your registration statement
to integrate Mr. Burch's planned resignation with your other disclosures. For example, on page 5 you discuss your newly expanded
leadership team and highlight Mr. Burch's prior experience but you do not disclose that he will be resigning as your President.
In addition, on page 43 you disclose that you are highly dependent on the development, regulatory, commercialization and business
development expertise of Mr. Burch, but do not disclose his planned resignation. In addition, you state on page 99 that he will
resign in connection with the Corporate Conversion, but state in your response that he will resign upon the completion of the offering.
Please revise to reconcile, or advise.

The Registrant has revised pages 5, 43 and 107 to include
additional disclosures relating to Mr. Burch’s resigning as President and joining the board of the Registrant upon the completion
of the Corporate Conversion.

 4. We note your new disclosure on page 110 relating to your employment agreement entered into with Dr. Gendreau. We note that
the employment agreement for Dr. Gendreau contains provisions relating to potential payments upon a change of control in addition
to the severance payment you described. Please revise to discuss such provisions, as required by Item 402(q) of Regulation S-K.

    Filed August 28, 2020

    File No. 333-248447

On behalf of our client, Virios Therapeutics,
LLC (the “Registrant”), we are responding to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated September 11, 2020 (the
 “Comment Letter”) relating to the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration
Statement”).

Set forth below are the Registrant’s
responses to the Staff’s comments. The numbering of the paragraphs below corresponds to the numbering of the Staff’s
comments in the Comment Letter, which for your convenience we have incorporated into this response letter. Page references in the
text of this response letter correspond to the page numbers of the Registration Statement filed today.

For the Staff’s convenience, we are
submitting copies of this letter and a copy of the Registration Statement marked to show all changes from the Registration Statement
via email.

Prospectus Summary, page 1

 1. We refer to prior comment 1. Please further revise your disclosures on page 1 to disclose that in the treatment group,
there were two serious adverse events, one of which is a non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, which may be
treatment-related. Explain to us why it is appropriate to include a discussion in the Prospectus Summary of discontinuation rates.
Also we note that the graphic above the timeline on page 5 appears to be a remainder reference to your surveys, and your graphic
at the top of page 6 refers to detailed study results including p-values. Revise to delete the graphics.

Division of Corporation Finance

Securities and Exchange Commission

Page 2 of 5

September 16, 2020

The Registrant has revised page 1 to further describe the
adverse events as the Staff has indicated. Additionally, the Registrant has revised page 1 to remove the discussion of discontinuation
rates. As requested, the Registrant has also removed all of the referenced graphics.

 2. Please add a bullet in your summary of risks section or balancing disclosure elsewhere in the Prospectus Summary to
note that the fast track designation may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review process. Additionally, revise the
summary of risks section so that they are of the same prominence as the discussion of your strategies.

The Registrant has revised page 7 to disclose additional risks relating to the fast track designation and the Registrant has revised the summary risk factors so that they are of the same prominence
as the discussion of the Registrant’s strategies.

Building out our Pipeline,
page 5

 3. We note your response to prior comment 6 and your revised pipeline table. We note, in your response, that you will
be relying on completed Phase 1 study data for IMC-1. However, you do not disclose elsewhere in the prospectus the results or completion
of Phase 1 trials for IMC-1. If you have completed Phase 1 trials for IMC-1 please describe them in your Business section. If you
are not relying on Phase 1 trials for IMC-1, please clarify the table to make clear that you believe you will be able to rely on
the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for IBS and Functional Somatic Syndrome, and disclose whether you have had discussions with the
FDA regarding your ability to rely on the pathway for IMC-1 for these two indications.

The Registrant has revised page 5 to further describe the
potential 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for other indications as well as how the nonclinical CMC and nonclinical studies in FM
that the Registrant has conducted to date will also support the potential additional Phase 2 work in IBS (or other
functional somatic syndrome conditions). As requested, the Registrant has explained that it has not discussed other
indications with the FDA at this time, but will certainly do so at the appropriate time.

Risk Factors, page 13

 4. We note your revised disclosures on page 47 in response to prior comment 12. Please expand your disclosures, including in
the title of the risk factor, either here or elsewhere, to also explain that Mr. Burch will be receiving equity awards in connection
with the IPO.

The Registrant has revised page 46 to revise the risk factor
to include additional disclosure regarding Mr. Burch’s stock option award.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations Research and Development Expenses, page 66

 5. We note your response to prior comment 14. Please further revise the disclosure to break out the dollar amount of external
research and development expenses incurred for each period presented. Alternatively, disaggregate research and development expenses
by nature or type of expense for each period presented.

The Registrant has revised page 65 to clarify that the
only research and development expenses incurred were external and reiterates this distinction in the discussion regarding
each reported period.

Business, page 72

 6. We acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 17. However, we note your disclosure still includes
many footnote references to various external sources. We continue to note that it is not appropriate to refer investors to external
sources for additional information.  To the extent you intend to retain your discussion of the information from
these sources, revise to disclose sufficient information so that an investor may understand their significance without needing
to refer to these sources, and if you are referring to results from studies, clearly state whether you are able to rely on such
data in seeking FDA approval for your product candidates, and if you are not, explain why such information is relevant. As examples
only, you present a graphic of patient prescription usage from 2008 to 2010 without sufficient narrative information explaining
how the results were derived, and you have multiple statements on page 79 discussing conclusions without sufficient information
regarding those studies. Additionally, as such detailed information is not appropriate for the Prospectus Summary, please revise
to remove all references to external sources in such section.

In response to this comment, the Registrant has carefully reviewed
each instance in which it cites to an external source, has removed all remaining footnotes and has revised the disclosure in each
instance in which such disclosure remains so that an investor may understand and readily comprehend their significance without consulting external sources. Additionally, all references and detailed information not
appropriate for the Prospectus Summary has been removed.

 7. Please move the graphic on page 74 discussing secondary endpoints to accompany your narrative discussion of the Phase IMC-1
trial so that the results are shown in the appropriate context and ensure that there is narrative disclosure for all information
shown in the table.

The Registrant has removed the graphic on page 74 and revised
pages 81 and 82 to include the graphic discussing secondary endpoints.

 8. We note your response to prior comment 4 and your revised disclosure in various places of your prospectus. Please remove
your statements on page 75 that you are seeking to take IMC-1 to "being Phase 3 ready" after your Phase 2b trial, that
you "intend" for your Phase 2b trial to "confirm the findings" in your Phase 2a study, and that the studies
will "help to further validate the potential of IMC-1."

The Registrant has revised the prospectus to remove the
statements cited in the Staff’s comment.

Our Novel Mechanism of
Action (“MOA”), page 79

 9. We note your response to prior comment 3 and your revised disclosure in the Prospectus Summary. Please remove your references
here and elsewhere to any statement that IMC-1 has a "favorable" safety profile given this determination is solely within
the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Registrant has revised the prospectus to remove statements
regarding conclusions that are solely within the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Market and Competition,
page 86

 10. We acknowledge your response to prior comment 5. However, we continue to believe that consents are required from Lumleian
and Triangle Insights Group pursuant to Securities Act Rule 436 because your registration statement attributes certain disclosures
and conclusions to these entities. For guidance please refer to Question 141.02 of Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for
Securities Act Sections. In the alternative, substantially revise your disclosures relating to these surveys so that disclosures
and conclusions are not attributed to them.

The Registrant has revised pages 85-87 to modify the
disclosure relating to the surveys so that such disclosures and conclusions are not attributed to Lumleian and Triangle
Insights Group.

 11. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 21 that there are up to 21 million Americans afflicted with
fibromyalgia. As previously requested, please revise your narrative disclosure to explain the basis for this conclusion. We note
that the National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association states on its website that approximately 10 million Americans have
fibromyalgia.

The Registrant has revised pages 4, 74, and 85 to
clarify the number of individuals that are estimated to be afflicted with fibromyalgia and the source of such
information.

 12. We note your response to prior comment 31 and your revised disclosure on page 105. However, we still note inconsistencies
throughout the prospectus on when the certificate of incorporation will go into effect. For example on page 49 and page 105 you
state that the certificate of incorporation will go into effect "effective upon the closing of the offering." Please
reconcile your disclosures.

The Registrant has revised pages 49, 103 and
other instances in the prospectus to clarify that the certificate of incorporation shall go into effect upon the completion of the Corporate Conversion
which shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

Executive and Director
Compensation Employment Agreements, page 110

 13. We note that the employment agreement for Richard Burch contains provisions relating to potential payments upon termination
or change in control. Please revise to discuss such provisions, as required by Item 402(q) of Regulation S-K.

The Registrant respectfully refers the Staff to the August 22, 2020 amendment of Mr. Burch's employment agreement included in Exhibit
10.2 of the Registration Statement. Pursuant to that amendment, upon the completion of the offering, Mr. Burch has agreed to receive non-qualified
stock options in lieu of any other cash or in-kind bonuses that were originally provided for in his employment agreement upon termination
or change in control. Additionally, Mr. Burch will be appointed as a Director and will resign as President upon the completion of the
offering. Accordingly, the Registrant submits that the additional disclosure is not necessary because such termination or change in control
payments will not be applicable upon the closing of the offering.

Please contact me at (215) 979-1206 with
any questions or further comments regarding the Registrant’s responses to the Staff’s comments.

    Sincerely,

    Duane Morris LLP

File No. 333-248447
Dear Mr. Duncan:
            We have reviewed your amended 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 amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information.  If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
            After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.  Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our August 19, 2020 letter.
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed August 28, 2020
Prospectus Summary, page 1
1.We refer to prior comment 1. Please further revise your disclosures on page 1 to disclose
that in the treatment group, there were two serious adverse events, one of which is a non-
ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, which may be treatment-related. Explain to
us why it is appropriate to include a discussion in the Prospectus Summary of
discontinuation rates. Also we note that the graphic above the timeline on page 5 appears
to be a remainder reference to your surveys, and your graphic at the top of page 6 refers to
detailed study results including p-values. Revise to delete the graphics.
2.Please add a bullet in your summary of risks section or balancing disclosure elsewhere in
the Prospectus Summary to note that the fast track designation may not lead to a faster

development or regulatory review process. Additionally, revise the summary of
risks section so that they are of the same prominence as the discussion of your strategies.
Building out our Pipeline, page 5
3.We note your response to prior comment 6 and your revised pipeline table. We note, in
your response, that you will be relying on completed Phase 1 study data for IMC-1.
However, you do not disclose elsewhere in the prospectus the results or completion of
Phase 1 trials for IMC-1. If you have completed Phase 1 trials for IMC-1 please describe
them in your Business section. If you are not relying on Phase 1 trials for IMC-1, please
clarify the table to make clear that you believe you will be able to rely on the 505(b)(2)
regulatory pathway for IBS and Functional Somatic Syndrome, and disclose whether you
have had discussions with the FDA regarding your ability to rely on the pathway for IMC-
1 for these two indications.
Risk Factors, page 13
4.We note your revised disclosures on page 47 in response to prior comment 12. Please
expand your disclosures, including in the title of the risk factor, either here or elsewhere,
to also explain that Mr. Burch will be receiving equity awards in connection with the
IPO.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Research and Development Expenses, page 66
5.We note your response to prior comment 14. Please further revise the disclosure to break
out the dollar amount of external research and development expenses incurred for each
period presented. Alternatively, disaggregate research and development expenses by
nature or type of expense for each period presented.
Business, page 72
6.We acknowledge your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 17. However, we
note your disclosure still includes many footnote references to various external sources.
We continue to note that it is not appropriate to refer investors to external sources for
additional information.  To the extent you intend to retain your discussion of the
information from these sources, revise to disclose sufficient information so that an
investor may understand their significance without needing to refer to these sources, and if
you are referring to results from studies, clearly state whether you are able to rely on such
data in seeking FDA approval for your product candidates, and if you are not, explain why
such information is relevant. As examples only, you present a graphic of patient
prescription usage from 2008 to 2010 without sufficient narrative information explaining
how the results were derived, and you have multiple statements on page 79 discussing
conclusions without sufficient information regarding those studies. Additionally, as such
detailed information is not appropriate for the Prospectus Summary, please revise to

remove all references to external sources in such section.
7.Please move the graphic on page 74 discussing secondary endpoints to accompany your
narrative discussion of the Phase IMC-1 trial so that the results are shown in the
appropriate context and ensure that there is narrative disclosure for all information shown
in the table.
Our Company, page 72
8.We note your response to prior comment 4 and your revised disclosure in various places
of your prospectus. Please remove your statements on page 75 that you are seeking to take
IMC-1 to "being Phase 3 ready" after your Phase 2b trial, that you "intend" for your Phase
2b trial to "confirm the findings" in your Phase 2a study, and that the studies will "help to
further validate the potential of IMC-1."
Our Novel Mechanism of Action (“MOA”), page 79
9.We note your response to prior comment 3 and your revised disclosure in the Prospectus
Summary. Please remove your references here and elsewhere to any statement that IMC-1
has a "favorable" safety profile given this determination is solely within the authority of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Market and Competition, page 86
10.We acknowledge your response to prior comment 5. However, we continue to believe that
consents are required from Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group pursuant to Securities
Act Rule 436 because your registration statement attributes certain disclosures and
conclusions to these entities. For guidance please refer to Question 141.02 of Compliance
and Disclosure Interpretations for Securities Act Sections. In the alternative, substantially
revise your disclosures relating to these surveys so that disclosures and conclusions are
not attributed to them.
11.We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 21 that there are up to 21
million Americans afflicted with fibromyalgia. As previously requested, please revise
your narrative disclosure to explain the basis for this conclusion. We note that the
National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association states on its website that
approximately 10 million Americans have fibromyalgia.

12.We note your response to prior comment 31 and your revised disclosure on page 105.
However, we still note inconsistencies throughout the prospectus on when the certificate

the certificate of incorporation will go into effect "effective upon the closing of the

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1

Submitted July 24, 2020

CIK No. 0001818844

On behalf of our client, Virios Therapeutics,
LLC (the “Registrant”), we are responding to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in its letter dated August 19, 2020 (the “Comment
Letter”) relating to the above referenced Draft Registration Statement (the “Draft Registration Statement”).

Set forth below are the Registrant’s
responses to the Staff’s comments. The numbering of the paragraphs below corresponds to the numbering of the Staff’s
comments, which for your convenience we have incorporated into this response letter. Page references in the text of this response
letter correspond to the page numbers of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”)
filed today. We also describe below the changes the Registrant has made in response to the Staff’s comments in the Registration
Statement and the prospectus included therein.

For the Staff’s convenience, we are
submitting copies of this letter, clean copies of the Amendment and copies of the Registration Statement marked to show all changes
from the Draft Registration Statement via email.

Prospectus Summary, page 1

 1. Please revise to limit discussions of clinical trial results in your prospectus summary to the endpoints of the trial, whether
they were met, and serious adverse events. Discussions of p-values and inclusion of graphics with results is more appropriate for
your Business section.

    Division of Corporation Finance
 Securities and Exchange Commission
 Page 2 of 12
 August 28, 2020

The Registrant has revised pages 1- 6 to limit discussion
of clinical trial results to endpoints of the trial.

How does IMC-1 work?, page
1

 2. We note your statements
throughout your filing that you believe IMC-1 may potentially be a "first-in-class medicine that inhibits both HSV-1 activation
and subsequent HSV-1 replication." Given the early stage of development, and your acknowledgement that your results in your
earlier studies may not be indicative of results obtained in later trials, these statements are speculative and inappropriate.
Please revise these statements. Similarly, we note your references in the Summary and elsewhere in your prospectus that you have
a "lead product (IMC-1)." It is premature to describe IMC-1 as a "product." Please remove or revise such statements.

The Registrant has revised the prospectus to remove speculative
statements and to clarify that IMC-1 is not a product at this time but a development candidate at this time.

Our Novel Mechanism of
Action ("MOA"), page 1

 3. We note your disclosure here and elsewhere in your prospectus that you observed IMC-1 to have a favorable safety profile
in your Phase 2a proof of concept study. Since this disclosure may imply that your product candidate is safe, and safety determinations
are solely within the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and comparable regulatory bodies, please revise your disclosure
to remove this implication.

The Registrant has revised the prospectus to remove implications
that the Phase 2a proof of concept study allows the Registrant to determine that IMC-1 is safe.

Our Experience Leads Us
Down an Efficient Regulatory and Development Pathway, page 3

 4. We refer to the following statements as examples only:

 • your statements on page 5 that you are seeking to
take IMC-1 to "being Phase 3 ready" after your Phase 2b trial, that you "intend" for your Phase 2b trial to
"confirm the findings" in your Phase 2a study, and that the studies will "help to further validate the potential
of IMC-1;"

 • your statement on page 8 that you aim to "[r]apidly" advance the clinical development of IMC-1 and conduct activities
to "ensure rapid progression to Phase 3;" and

 • your statement on page 9 that you will explore partnership options after the "successful completion" of the Phase
2b study.

You also have similar and additional statements
elsewhere in your prospectus, including on page 88, where you state that "Phase 2b probability of success calculates a significantly
higher success ratio compared to benchmarks. . . [t]his higher probability of success is due to the high statistically significant
endpoints shown in the Phase 2a study and the well characterized safety of the non-NME formulation of IMC-1," and your statement
on page 91 that broad clinical utility is to be "further confirmed" in your Phase 2b/3 trials. These types of statements
are speculative and not appropriate as they imply successful results from your anticipated trial, or that your trial will be rapidly
concluded. Please revise all such statements in your prospectus accordingly.

    Division of Corporation Finance
 Securities and Exchange Commission
 Page 3 of 12
 August 28, 2020

The Registrant has revised the prospectus to remove statements
that are speculative as to the future results Phase 2b or Phase 3 trials and the timing of such trials.

What is FM and why was
it selected as the first disease target for IMC-1?, page 5

 5. We note your disclosure that 85% of physicians queried suggest that they are neutral or unsatisfied with their current FM
treatment options. Please remove discussions of the surveys in your Summary section. In the Business section, if true, clarify
that this survey was conducted in 2014, as your disclosure in the Business section appears to indicate, and state whether the percentages
discussed in that section are with respect to 75 physicians or to the 83 physicians and key opinion leaders. With respect to the
Q&A chart on page 91, disclose the number of interviewed payors who responded with the answer in the last Q&A, and if true,
clarify that the information presented in the chart and in the first full sentence on page 92 was also collected in 2014. Additionally,
file consents from Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group pursuant to Securities Act Rule 436 as exhibits to your registration statement.

The Registrant has revised page 4 to remove references to
surveys in the Summary section of the Prospectus. The Registrant has revised page 77 to clarify when the survey was conducted
and provide additional details regarding how the survey was conducted.

Further, the Registrant respectfully submits that Lumleian
and Triangle Insights Group are not  “experts” within the meaning of Rule 436 of the Securities Act and,
accordingly, the Registrant does not believe a consent is required to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Rule 436 of the Securities Act requires that a consent be filed
if any portion of a report or opinion of an “expert” is quoted or summarized as such in a registration statement. Section
7 of the Securities Act provides that an expert is “any accountant, engineer, or appraiser, or any person whose profession
gives authority to a statement made by him.”

Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group are both consulting firms
that primarily collect and aggregate survey and statistical data, and the related information contained in the registration statement
reflects the aggregate survey and collected data. The Registrant submits that such data does not reflect the opinion or judgment
of an “expert,” and that Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group are not amongst the enumerated professions under Section
7 of the Securities Act, nor is it within a “profession [that] gives authority to a statement made by [such providers].”
As such, the Registrant believes that Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group are not among the class of persons subject to Section
7 and Rule 436 of the Securities Act as “experts” unless the Registrant expressly identifies it as an expert or the
statements are purported to be made on the authority of such provider as an “expert.” The Registrant has neither expressly
identified Lumleian or Triangle Insights Group as an “expert” in the registration statement nor purported to make statements
in the registration statement on the authority of either Lumleian or Triangle Insights Group as an “expert.” Accordingly,
the Registrant believes that Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group should not be considered “experts” within the meaning
of U.S. federal securities laws.

    Division of Corporation Finance
 Securities and Exchange Commission
 Page 4 of 12
 August 28, 2020

In addition, the Registrant notes that the consent requirements
of Rule 436 of the Securities Act are generally directed at circumstances in which an issuer has engaged a third-party expert or
counsel to prepare a valuation, opinion or other report specifically for use in connection with or incorporated into a registration
statement. In this instance, the Registrant respectfully advises the Staff that the data was prepared by Lumleian and Triangle
Insights Group for the Registrant for research purposes, not as a report for purposes of the registration statement. The reports
were not intended as an industry report to be used in or incorporated into the registration statement, but rather to make an assessment
of the Registrant’s marketplace. As such, the data provided by each was not prepared specifically in connection with or for
the purpose of inclusion in the registration statement or to otherwise satisfy any specific disclosure requirement.

As a result of the foregoing, the Registrant respectfully submits
that Lumleian and Triangle Insights Group do not need to provide a consent to be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.

Building out our Pipeline,
page 7

 6. The table of your pipeline chart on page 8 should reflect the actual, and not the anticipated, status of your pipeline candidates
as of the latest practicable date. Please shorten the arrow for FM as your disclosure states that you have not yet commenced your
Phase 2b trial. Also explain why it is appropriate to show IMC-1 as half way through Phase 1 clinical trials for IBS and Functional
Somatic Syndrome when your disclosure states that you plan to initially target IMC-1 in FM and you indicate on page 7 that you
may use one of your other NSAID/antiviral combinations to target other indications. If applicable, please revise to include disclosure
regarding your discussions with the FDA regarding the use of the 505(b)(2) pathway for IMC-1 in the treatment of IBS or functional
somatic syndrome or revise your pipeline table.

The Registrant has revised the chart and disclosure on
page 6 to more clearly indicate that the Phase 2a study has been completed and that Phase 1 trials are not needed by the
Registrant for IBS and Functional Somatic Syndrome. Phase 1 studies are not required for each indication pursued at the
molecular level because the completed IMC-1 Phase 1 supports all forward potential therapeutic targets for the development
candidate. If the Registrant pursues those paths it may move directly to Phase 2 trials.

FM Phase 2b Clinical Program
Timelines Expected to Deliver Results in Q4 2021, page 7

    Division of Corporation Finance
 Securities and Exchange Commission
 Page 5 of 12
 August 28, 2020

 7. We note your timeline chart indicates that you expect to "deliver results in Q4 2021" and your chart shows topline
results beginning in December 2021. However, elsewhere in the prospectus, you state that you "expect to report top line results
by Q1 2022," as well as "final results by the first quarter of 2022." Please reconcile your statements and please
explain "DBL."

The Registrant has revised page 5 and page 86 to clarify
that the Registrant expects topline results in Q1 2022 and has revised the table to remove the reference to
“DBL.”

Our Leadership Team, page
8

 8. You refer to Kevin Phelan as your regulatory lead. However, he does not appear to be an officer or director, and is not
otherwise discussed in your prospectus. Please delete the reference to Mr. Phelan, or advise.

The Registrant has revised
page 6 to remove the reference to Mr. Phelan.

Implications of Being an
Emerging Growth Company, page 10

 9. Please supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf, present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the
Securities Act, whether or not they retain copies of the communications.

The Registrant acknowledges your request and confirms that there
are no written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that the Registrant, or anyone authorized
to do so on the Registrant’s behalf, will present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act
other than what will be filed with the Commission as a free writing prospectus pursuant to Rule 433.

Risk Factors, page 15

 10. We note your risk factor disclosure regarding adverse events on page 22 that patients treated with IMC-1 in your Phase 2
study discontinued due to adverse events at a rate lower than patients treated with placebo. We also note your disclosure on page
86 that 2 patients treated with IMC-1 in your Phase 2 study had serious adverse events. Please balance your risk factor disclosure
here to discuss the serious adverse events observed.

The Registrant has revised page 20 to disclose the serious
adverse events observed.

 11. On page 11 you state that you have "irrevocably elected to take advantage of this extended transition period"
under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. However, on page 72 you state you "are electing not to take advantage of the extended
transition period" and your risk factor disclosure on page 51 states that you “have irrevocably elected not to avail
ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards," but then states that investors may find your common
stock less attractive because you may rely on these exemptions. Please correct these apparent inconsistencies. If you elect to
opt out of these provisions, please indicate as such on the cover page.

    Division of Corporation Finance
 Securities and Exchange Commission
 Page 6 of 12
 August 28, 2020

The Registrant has revised pages 9, 49 and 70 to
clarify that the Registrant has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period under Section 107(b) of the JOBS
Act.

 12. Please add a risk factor discussing the interests of related parties in this transaction. We note, for example, that Mr.
Burch will receive restricted stock units upon the closing of this offering equal to 5% of the shares outstanding prior to the
closing.

The Registrant has revised page 47 to include an
additional risk factor relating to the interests of the directors and officers of the Registrant and their combined holdings
after the closing of the offering.

Use of Proceeds, page 56

 13. Refer to the first and second bullet points. Please clarify whether or not you expect to complete the IMC-1 FM Phase 2b
trial and the chronic toxicology study with the proceeds of the offering. To the extent any material amounts of other funds are

            Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either submitting

from your anticipated trial, or that your trial will be rapidly concluded. Please revise all
such statements in your prospectus accordingly.
What is FM and why was it selected as the first disease target for IMC-1?, page 5
5.We note your disclosure that 85% of physicians queried suggest that they are neutral or
unsatisfied with their current FM treatment options. Please remove discussions of the
surveys in your Summary section. In the Business section, if true, clarify that this survey
was conducted in 2014, as your disclosure in the Business section appears to indicate, and
state whether the percentages discussed in that section are with respect to 75 physicians or
to the 83 physicians and key opinion leaders. With respect to the Q&A chart on page 91,
disclose the number of interviewed payors who responded with the answer in the last

Q&A, and if true, clarify that the information presented in the chart and in the first full
sentence on page 92 was also collected in 2014. Additionally, file consents from Lumleian

registration statement.
Building out our Pipeline, page 7
6.The table of your pipeline chart on page 8 should reflect the actual, and not the
anticipated, status of your pipeline candidates as of the latest practicable date. Please
shorten the arrow for FM as your disclosure states that you have not yet commenced your
Phase 2b trial. Also explain why it is appropriate to show IMC-1 as half way through
Phase 1 clinical trials for IBS and Functional Somatic Syndrome when your disclosure
states that you plan to initially target IMC-1 in FM and you indicate on page 7 that you
may use one of your other NSAID/antiviral combinations to target other indications. If
applicable, please revise to include disclosure regarding your discussions with the FDA
regarding the use of the 505(b)(2) pathway for IMC-1 in the treatment of IBS or
functional somatic syndrome or revise your pipeline table.
FM Phase 2b Clinical Program Timelines Expected to Deliver Results in Q4 2021, page 7
7.We note your timeline chart indicates that you expect to "deliver results in Q4 2021" and
your chart shows topline results beginning in December 2021. However, elsewhere in the
prospectus, you state that you "expect to report top line results by Q1 2022," as well as
"final results by the first quarter of 2022." Please reconcile your statements and please
explain "DBL."
Our Leadership Team, page 8
8.You refer to Kevin Phelan as your regulatory lead. However, he does not appear to be an
officer or director, and is not otherwise discussed in your prospectus. Please delete the
reference to Mr. Phelan, or advise.

9.Please supplementally provide us with copies of all written communications, as defined in
Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf,
present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, whether or
not they retain copies of the communications.
Risk Factors, page 15
10.We note your risk factor disclosure regarding adverse events on page 22 that patients
treated with IMC-1 in your Phase 2 study discontinued due to adverse events at a rate
lower than patients treated with placebo. We also note your disclosure on page 86 that 2
patients treated with IMC-1 in your Phase 2 study had serious adverse events. Please
balance your risk factor disclosure here to discuss the serious adverse events observed.

11.On page 11 you state that you have "irrevocably elected to take advantage of this extended
transition period"  under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. However, on page 72 you state
you "are electing not to take advantage of the extended transition period" and your risk
factor disclosure on page 51 states that you “have irrevocably elected not to avail
ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards," but then states
that investors may find your common stock less attractive because you may rely on these
exemptions. Please correct these apparent inconsistencies. If you elect to opt out of these
provisions, please indicate as such on the cover page.
12.Please add a risk factor discussing the interests of related parties in this transaction. We
note, for example, that Mr. Burch will receive restricted stock units upon the closing of
this offering equal to 5% of the shares outstanding prior to the closing.
Use of Proceeds, page 56
13.Refer to the first and second bullet points. Please clarify whether or not you expect to
complete the IMC-1 FM Phase 2b trial and the chronic toxicology study with the proceeds
of the offering. To the extent any material amounts of other funds are necessary to
accomplish the specified purposes, state the amounts and sources of other funds needed
for each specified purpose and the sources. Refer to Instruction 3 to Item 504 of
Regulation S-K.

Research and Development Expenses, page 68
14.You disclose on page 66 that you track external research and development expenses for
each study. Please expand your disclosures to break out external research and
development expenses by each significant product candidate, including at a minimum for
IMC-1, for each period presented.
15.You disclose that there was an increase in patent costs included in research and
development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Please tell us how
patent costs meet the definition of research and development expenses in ASC 730-10 as
these costs appear to be the same or similar to activities described in  ASC 730-10-55-2i,
which are not generally considered research and development.
Founders' Vision, page 73
16.Please revise the vision statement as follows:
•Revise the first paragraph to explain whether the drug studied in collaboration with
the university was IMC-1. If IMC-1 was not used in the study revise your disclosure
accordingly. If IMC-1 was the drug candidate, revise your Business section to include
a discussion of the study, or advise, and also explain whether you have the rights to
use such study results.
•Revise the sixth sentence in the first paragraph and the third paragraph to remove the

implication that IMC-1 is effective in treating fibromyalgia, including your statement
that IMC-1 "goes much further" than current treatments.
Business, page 74
17.We note your references in this section and elsewhere in your prospectus to various
external sources, including with respect to your own Phase 2a trial. Referring investors to
sources outside your registration statement for material information is not sufficient to
meet your disclosure obligation. Please revise your disclosure to include all material
information in your prospectus, such that you do not need to refer investors to external
sources for additional information, including, for example, a discussion of the secondary
endpoints of your Phase 2a trial. To the extent you retain discussions of other studies
and/or surveys, ensure that you disclose sufficient information so that an investor may
understand their significance, such as how those surveyed were selected, what information
was provided to those surveyed, and sufficient explanations of study results. Additionally,
all graphics should be accompanied by narrative disclosure that clearly explains the
context for the graphic.
18.We note your disclosure on page F-11 regarding a Know-How License Agreement you
entered into with the University of Alabama. Please disclose the material terms of this
agreement and file it as an exhibit or explain to us why it is not material to an investment
decision.
19.We note several statements in this section implying the efficacy of your product
candidates, such as your statement on page 81 that the synergistic response is "clear and
compelling," and on page 86 that you believe the tolerability of IMC-1 "reflects [its]
efficacy." Efficacy is a determination that is solely within the authority of the FDA or
similar foreign regulators. You may present clinical trial end points and objective data
resulting from trials without concluding efficacy. Please revise these statements
accordingly.
Our Company, page 74
20.We note your chart and disclosure on the top of page 76. Please include additional
disclosure on the Numerical Rating Scale 24 hour recall pain data and the Revised
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ-R) with LOCF/BOCF imputation. For example,
it is unclear whether or not the measurements are based on a similar pain scale to be
included in the same chart.
Background of Fibromyalgia (FM), page 77
21.We refer to your references in the graphics on page 78 and in your numbered list on page
92 that the prevalence of fibromyalgia in the U.S. is approximately 21 million. Please
revise your narrative disclose to explain the basis for this conclusion, as we note you state
on page 89 that approximately eight million Americans are afflicted with fibromyalgia.

22.We refer to your summarization of patient comments regarding limitations of three drugs
approved by the FDA for the management of fibromyalgia. Revise to state the number of
total patients interviewed or submitted comments at such meeting, and the number of such
patients who indicated the disclosed issues. Additionally, please state whether there have
been similar PFDD meetings since 2014 where patients submitted comments and explain
what is a PFDD meeting.
23.You state on page 80 that current treatments for fibromyalgia are "ineffective," and then
cite to an internet survey of 2,596 patients. Please expand your disclosure to explain how
the patients were selected for the survey and whether the graphic shows results from the
same survey.

or advise.
26.We refer to your discussion of the questionnaire results on page 87. Please revise to
explain whether the results were part of your secondary endpoints or otherwise significant
for your approval process, or if the information is being used to inform further studies.
Regulatory and Development Timeline, page 87
27.We note your planned reliance on the 505(b)(2) approval pathway. Please identify and
describe the studies and results you intend to rely on, including the identification of the
parties that performed the studies. Additionally, describe the requirements you must
satisfy in order to rely on the Section 505(b)(2) pathway.
