treatment for hypoparathyroidism. As safety and efficacy determinations are solely within
the authority of the FDA and comparable regulatory bodies, it is inappropriate to state or
imply that your product candidates are safe or effective. Please revise this statement and
similar statements throughout your prospectus that suggest the safety and efficacy of your
candidates. Where you deem appropriate, you may present objective data without
including your conclusions related to safety or efficacy. By way of example only, we
note the following statements:
•your trial results "validate the utility of the RaniPill capsule to deliver octreotide
orally" and "validate the utility of the RaniPill capsule for other biologics"
•administration of adalimumab via the RaniPill capsule is "an effective alternative to
painful SC injections"
•the RaniPill capsule "can be safely consumed on a daily basis for seven days" and "its
remnants can be safely excreted without any complications"
4.We note your disclosure that your plan to create a Master File for the RaniPill capsule
"will serve to significantly de-risk the regulatory pathway for biologic drugs delivered via
the RaniPill capsule." Please remove this statement and any other statements that imply
that you will be successful in mitigating risk associated with drug development.

data you may need to conduct additional clinical trials, as discussed on page 39.

Please either delete these statements or specifically state that you are liable for the
information related to the market and industry data and your internal research.
