The factual information provided herein relating to the Company has been made available to us by the Company. Paragraph numbering used for each response set forth below corresponds to the numbering used in the Comment Letter. 15260 Ventura Boulevard, 20th Floor * Sherman Oaks, California 91403 office > 818.444.4500 * fax > 818.444.4520 1453 3rd Street Promenade, Suite 300 * Santa Monica, California 90401 office > 310.746.9800 * fax > 310.395.5292 Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance December 29, 2021 Page 2 Form 10-Q for the Period Ended September 30, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, page 4 1. Please amend your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 to address the following: ● Revise the three months ended September 30, 2020 column in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect the accounting error related to the June 2020 forbearance agreements. It appears that the balances presented are the previously reported balances and not the “as restated” numbers. Refer to Note 13 in your Form 10-K. ● Label both 2020 columns as being restated ● Provide disclosures related to the restatement ● Disclose, if true, that the net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 have been revised to reflect the stock split The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Following an internal review of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company believes that the Form 10-Q, as previously filed, properly reflects the restated amounts and per share amounts in the September 30, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations to reflect the accounting error related to the June 2020 forbearance agreements. Please also note that although the column was not marked “restated” in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company did indicate the amounts as restated in Note 13 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-K”). Following an internal review of the Form 10-K the Company determined that in Note 13 to the Form 10-K, the Company incorrectly referred to a correction of the amounts for the three month period ended September 30, 2020. No such correction was necessary and that statement should not have been included in Note 13. Since the Company has subsequently correctly filed the results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2020 in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company respectfully submits that no amendment to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 is necessary. Form 10-Q for the Period Ended June 30, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit), page 5 2. Please amend your Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to address the following: ● Revise Additional paid in capital, Accumulated deficit, and Total stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the period ended June 30, 2020 on your Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) to reflect the accounting error related to the June 2020 forbearance agreements. Refer to Note 13 in your Form 10-K. ● Label both 2020 columns as being restated ● Provide disclosures related to the restatement ● Disclose, if true, that the net loss per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been revised to reflect the stock split. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment. Following an internal review of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company determined that the incorrect amounts in the Form 10-Q resulted from a processing error by the Company’s EDGAR vendor since the Company submitted applicable corrections for inclusion in the Form 10-Q. Notwithstanding, the Company intends to amend its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as follows: ● To correctly reflect the Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020. ● To correctly reflect the Preferred share, Common share and Additional paid in capital as of June 30, 2020 in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Deficit as of June 30, 2020 to reflect the accounting error related to the June 2020 forbearance agreements. * * * * * We hope the above has been responsive to the Staff’s comments.

(the “Company”) in response to the two substantially similar comment letters, each dated March 12, 2018, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Company’s Registration Statements on Form S-3 filed March 1, 2018 (the “Registration Statements”). In connection with this letter, the Company has filed an Amendment No. 1 to each Registration Statement (each, an “Amended Registration Statement”). The Amended Registration Statements reflect the Company’s responses to the comments from the Staff and incorporate certain other updating and conforming changes. Capitalized terms used in this letter but not otherwise defined have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statements. We have enclosed a courtesy package, which includes copies of the Amended Registration Statements. Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference, page 31 1. We note that you have incorporated by reference the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, but do not incorporate by reference all reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 2016 as required by Item 12(a)(2) of Form S-3. Please revise your registration statement so that it complies with Item 12 of Form S-3. Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, we have incorporated by reference in the Amended Registration Statements all reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as required by Item 12(a)(2) of Form S-3. 1 General 1. Please advise us as to the basis upon which you are eligible to register on Form S-3 at this time. Refer to General Instruction I.A.3(b) of Form S-3. In this regard, we note that with respect to the amendment to the certificate of incorporation on July 17,2017 to change the name of the company, the Form 8-K providing Item 5.03 disclosure was not filed until July 25, 2017. As such, it appears this Form 8-K was not filed timely. For guidance, please refer to Item 5.03(a) of Form 8-K. Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that the current report on Form 8-K that the Company filed on July 25, 2017 (the “Original 8-K”) contained an error in the effective date of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation changing the name of the Company from Oxis International, Inc. to GT Biopharma, Inc. (the “Name Change Amendment”). The effective date of the Name Change Amendment was July 19, 2017, not July 17, 2017. The Company has filed an amendment to the Original 8-K to reflect the correct date. In light of this correction, we respectfully advise the Staff that the Original 8-K was filed timely. With respect to General Instruction I.A.3(b), we further advise the Staff that the Company has filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed during the 12 calendar months and any portion of a month immediately preceding the filing of the Registration Statement, other than reports that are required solely pursuant to Item 1.01, 1.02, 1.04, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 4.02(a) or 5.02(e) of Form 8-K. * * * If you have any questions related to this letter, please contact Jenifer R.

Re:

Schedule 14A
Filed July 1, 2011
File No. 000-08092
Dear Mr. Riedler:
By letter dated July 11, 2011, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) requested additional information regarding the above-referenced proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Oxis International, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company hereby advises the Commission as follows:
1. Because the reverse stock split, if implemented, will not change the number of authorized shares of this Company’s common stock, any reverse stock split will effectively increase the proportion of authorized shares of common stock relative to the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, other than issuing shares in the future from time to time in the ordinary course of business (i) to raise capital and (ii) to fulfill its outstanding stock issuance obligations, the Company has does not have any current plans, arrangements or understandings, written or oral, to issue any of the shares that will become available as a result of the reverse stock split, if the stock split is implemented.
As disclosed in the Company’s filings with the Commission, including the Form 10-K filed earlier this year, because the Company currently has limited revenues, in order to fund its operations and its capital requirements, the Company anticipates that it will have to obtain additional debt or equity financing. For example, the Company currently is in discussions with a few institutional investors regarding the private sale of between $250,000 and $500,000 of the Company’s securities. The Company also intends to raise additional amounts in future private sales, from these institutions or from others. However, the Company does not have any securities issuance plans that are related to the reverse stock split or dependent upon the stock split.
Securities and Exchange Commission
July 12, 2011
Page 2
In addition to periodically selling additional securities to raise capital, the Company will have to continue issuing securities to fulfill its existing contractual stock issuance obligations. These stock issuance obligations include the issuances of shares of common stock (i) upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures, (ii) upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or common stock purchase warrants, and (iii) pursuant to outstanding contractual obligations with certain consultants.
We respectfully contend that these future issuances of shares of common stock will be effected in the ordinary course of business and are not dependent upon, or related to the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the Company has no plans, arrangements or understandings related to the relatively increased amount of authorized shares that should be disclosed in the Proxy Statement.
* * * * *
As requested in the July 11, 2011 letter that we received from the Commission, the Company acknowledges that:
·
The Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
·
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
·
The Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this letter or require additional information in connection with the above. In addition, the Company intends to make the Proxy Statement available to its shareholders within the next few days. Kindly advise if, and when the definitive Proxy Statement can be filed with the Commission and made available to the shareholders.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Bernard Landes

Annual Report On Form 10-K For The Fiscal Year Ended 12/31/09
File No. 000-08092
Dear Mr. Riedler:
By letter dated December 6, 2010, the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Oxis International, Inc. (the “Company”) with comments to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “2009 Annual Report”). This letter contains the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments. The numbers of the responses and the headings set forth below correspond to the numbered comments and headings in the December 6, 2010 letter from the Staff.
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
Item 1. Business, page 1
1.
The “leading service provider in the direct marketing response business” that was referred to in the 2009 Annual Report is Creative Direct Marketing Group, Inc., a direct marketing response agency that specializes in online and offline (direct mail) marketing programs. We engaged Creative Direct Marketing early in 2010 to design and develop a direct marketing website and other Internet marketing services, including paid search and a direct mail program, for use in connection with the release of our Ergo-Flex product. The “agreement” referred to in the 2009 Annual Report consisted of three one-page standard work orders for Creative Direct Marketing’s services. The total cost of those services was $52,900. Creative Direct Marketing Group has provided all of the services requested by us, Ergo-Flex has been commercially released using the direct mail campaign designed by Creative Direct, and Creative Direct’s engagement with us has ended.
Securities and Exchange Commission
December 17, 2010
Page 2
Since Ergo-Flex has been released, and since Creative Direct Marketing Group has completed all of its services to us, we intend to include the following reference to Creative Direct Marketing Group in our next Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”):
“In 2010, we engaged Creative Direct Marketing Group, Inc., a direct marketing response agency, to design a direct marketing website and other Internet marketing services, including paid search and direct mail program, in connection with the market launch of our Ergo-Flex dietary supplement. Ergo-Flex was marketed through a highly targeted direct mail campaign. We plan to add other direct-to-consumer channels such as Internet sales, radio and television infomercials and multi-level marketing as ErgoFlex and future products under the OXIS ERGO brand are established.”
The Staff has asked that we file a copy of the agreement with Creative Direct Marketing Group as an exhibit to our Form 10-K. We respectfully submit that the “agreement” with Creative Direct is not a material agreement as defined in Item 601(10) of Regulation S-K, but rather three separate one-page work orders, each of which ordinarily accompanies the kind of marketing and sales business conducted by us. We anticipate that we will enter into similar agreements with marketing companies from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, we do not believe that it is appropriate or necessary to file the work orders as an exhibit. Should the Staff wish to see the work orders, we will gladly provide the Staff with copies for its review.
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance, page 28
2.
We will include in the 2010 Annual Report the following disclosure discussing the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to the conclusion that each of ours directors should serve on the board of the Company, as required by the newly revised Item 401(e)(1) of Regulation S-K, including information about Mr. Thomas W. Hoog, who was elected to our board on July 14, 2010:
“Our Board of Directors identified and recommended that Messrs. Cataldo, Dube and Hoog be elected to the Board of Directors based on the following experience, qualifications and skills of these persons:
Anthony Cataldo – Mr. Cataldo has extensive experience serving in both executive and non-executive capacities for public and private companies, including companies entering new markets and releasing new products. In addition, Mr. Cataldo is familiar with the duties and obligations of directors serving on the boards of public companies, having served on the board of numerous public companies.

Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
This
letter is in response to the letter dated May 11, 2007 (the “Comment Letter”)
from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) requesting amendment of the annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
period ended December 31, 2006 of OXIS International, Inc. (the “Company”).
Amendment No. 1 to the above-described annual report (the “Amendment”) is being
filed with the Commission on the date of this letter.
The
Comment Letter stated, in relevant part, that “we note that your Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 2006 does not appear to include the information
required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B regarding disclosure controls and
procedures.” In response to this comment, we are filing the Amendment to our
10-KSB to which we have added, on page 58, under Item 8A - Controls and
Procedures, the following disclosure:
“As
of
the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of
our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our
Chief Executive officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting management
to material information required to be included in this report. It should
be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions, regardless of how remote.”

Post-effective amendments
Filed May 9, 2007
File Nos. 333-123008 and 333-139216
Dear Dr. Hausman:
This is to advise you that we are not conducting a full review of the above post-
effective amendments. However, we note that your Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 does not appear to include the information required by Item 307 of Regulation S-B regarding disclosure controls and procedures. Please file an amended Form 10-KSB to include this information. The disclosure should state that your principal executive officer and principal financial offi cer concluded the disclosure controls and
procedures are either “effective” or “not effective.” If they are not effective, the filing should describe the weaknesses that led to this conclusion. It should also state whether the weaknesses impacted the financial statements, and it should describe any steps the company has taken to address the weaknesses. This issue will need to be fully resolved before we act on a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the post-effective amendments.
We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes all information required under the Securities Act of 1933 and that they have provided all information investors require for an informed investment decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.
Before the amended registration statement is declared effective pursuant to Section 8 of the Securities Act, the company should provide us with a letter, acknowledging that:

Dear
Ms.
Fraser:
On
behalf
of OXIS International, Inc. (the “Company”), I write in reference to the above
registration statement filed on December 8, 2006, in addition to the comments
received from the staff (“Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission in a
letter dated December 19, 2006, and our response letter and Amendment No. 1
filed on January 10, 2007, and our response letter and Amendment No. 2 filed
on
January 23, 2007, amending the above referenced registration statement.
References in this letter to “we,” “our,” or “us” mean the Company or its
advisors, as the context may require.
In
a
series of telephone conversations from January 12, 2007 through February 8,
2007, the Staff requested that we revise the executive compensation data in
the
registration statement to comply with the recent changes to rules regarding
executive compensation and related person disclosure for small business issuers.
In response to this request, the Company has further amended its registration
statement to include a revised summary compensation table, the outstanding
equity awards at fiscal year-end table, and the director compensation table.
These revisions appear on pages 65, 66, 67 and 68 of Amendment No. 3 to the
registration statement filed today (February 9, 2007).
If
you
have any questions, please contact me by telephone at (310) 208-1182, or by
