Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Veraxa Biotech AG, page 28
9.
We note your statement that your pipeline has the potential to expand the therapeutic window of current solid tumor treatments through “improved safety and efficacy profiles.” We also note disclosure appearing in your Business section referring to your candidates as “highly effective”, “potent”, “safe” and with “excellent safety profiles.” Please revise throughout the proxy statement/prospectus to remove any implication that your product candidates are currently safe and/or effective as these statements are premature based on your current stage of development and determinations regarding safety and efficacy are solely within the authority of the FDA and corresponding regulatory authorities.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosures throughout the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to remove terms that imply that our product candidates are currently safe and/or effective.

We note your disclosure that Voyager Acquisition’s board considered certain “forecast projections” in determining that the business combination was in the SPAC’s best interest. Please revise, wherever appropriate, to disclose these projections, including any material assumptions underlying the projections and Veraxa’s reasoning for preparing the projections. Please also clearly state whether the projections continue to reflect the views of Veraxa’s management on its future performance as of the most recent practicable date.
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 37 and 184 of the Amended Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment to remove the references to “forecast projections” which were inadvertently included.

profiles." We also note disclosure appearing in your Business section referring to your
candidates as "highly effective", "potent", "safe" and with "excellent safety
profiles." Please revise throughout the proxy statement/prospectus to remove any
implication that your product candidates are currently safe and/or effective as these

Information about the Company, page 215
19.Please revise to remove all references to your product candidates and platforms
potentially being "first-in-class" or "best-in-class" as these statements are speculative
in light of the current regulatory status of your clinical and preclinical candidates.
20.We note your disclosure that you are in several discussions with global
pharmaceutical companies interested in the potential of your BiTAC platforms.
Please revise your disclosure to provide more detail regarding these discussions with
these parties, including the nature of their interests and the current status of any
negotiations. In addition, please provide the same level of disclosure in relation to
your statements about the potential licensing of your VX-A902 program.
21.Please revise to provide a more fulsome description of any preclinical studies wherein
you compare your candidates to other clinical candidates or approved drug products.
For example only, we note your disclosure on page 231 of a study comparing your
"PBD warheads" to a "marketed ADC" and disclosure on page 247 related to a test
wherein you compare your BiTAC-TCEs to "standard TCEs." Please revise your
discussion of these studies to clarify if they were head-to-head trials against specific
compounds and briefly discuss the methodology of each study disclosed. To the
extent any of these comparisons arise from studies that were not head-to-head, please

23.Please revise to define the phrase “click-to-release” in the context of your BiTAC
platforms.
Our Dual-Targeting/AND-Gate Concept, page 222
24.Please revise the graphic appearing on page 222 to remove the arrows impling that
your product candidates will be safer and more effective than approved therapies.
Please also revise the graphic on page 221, which implies that your product is less
toxic and more effective than current cancer treatments.
Our BiTAC Platforms, page 238
25.Please provide your basis for your statement claiming that your BiTAC platform
currently stands as the "only technology capable of abolishing systemic toxicity."
26.Please remove your statements claiming that you will be able to develop your drug
products "faster," at a "lower cost" or with an "increased chance of success" as these
statements are speculative.
Our Hitmaster Screening Platform, page 250
27.Please revise to briefly discuss your reasons for no longer pursuing internal

platform.

Our Pipeline, page 261
29.Please revise your pipeline table to present the current development status of each of
your material product candidates without predicting the potential dates for future
development stages that you are not yet prepared to initiate. For example only, we
note your disclosure expecting VX-A903-1 will be entering Phase 2 trials in
2030. Clinical development is inherently uncertain and requires success in the prior
stage for continued development, so it is speculative to assume you will be able to
conduct Phase 2 trials prior to completing Phase 1. Please revise your pipeline table
accordingly.
30.We note the inclusion of a number of candidates with an indication of "tbd" that
appear to be in the early preclinical or discovery stages. We also note a number of
potential "partnerships" candidates that do not appear to be entering discovery or
preclinical testing until 2026 or 2027. Given the limited disclosure related to these
candidates, please revise to explain how these candidates are currently material to
your business and provide more fulsome disclosure related to these candidates
including any development activities conducted and planned indications.
Alternatively, please remove any candidates not currently material to your business
from your pipeline table.
August 27, 2025
Page 6
31.Please ensure your pipeline table clearly demonstrates all steps that must be
completed (e.g., Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials) for each clinical candidate before
regulatory approval is received, so that investors can clearly understand what steps
must still be taken prior to commercialization.
32.We note your statement that your DAR 4 anti-HER2 ADC has "efficacy" in line
with Enhertu at the same doses. Please revise this statement, as it improperly implies
this candidate is both effective and comparable to products that are already approved
for commercial sale.
Strategic Clinical-Regulatory Development Approach, page 267
33.Please revise to briefly discuss the material aspects of your Phase I clinical trial design
for your VX-A901 candidate. In your revisions, clarify where your trial is being
conducted, disclose primary and secondary endpoints and enrollment data. Please
remove disclosures that imply your product candidate is safe or effective. You may
present objective data resulting from your preclinical and clinical testing without
concluding efficacy.
Partnerships And Collaborations, page 269
34.Please revise to provide a more fulsome description of your material partnerships and
collaborations discussed in this section and indicated in your pipeline table on page
261. In your revisions, ensure that you disclose the rights and obligations of both
parties, any term and termination provisions, aggregate amounts paid or due under
these agreements and any amounts paid to date. Please also file these agreements as
exhibits to your registration statement or tell us why you believe such a filing is not
required. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K for guidance.
Intellectual Property, page 270
35.Please revise to disclose the expiration dates or potential expiration dates, if granted,
for each patent or patent application disclosed in this section. Please also revise to
identify the specific programs protected by each of your patents.
