1. We note your statement throughout the registration statement that if the results of your ongoing Phase 2/3 clinical trial for Cabaletta are successful, you believe it could be a pivotal trial. Please expand your disclosure to state the basis for your belief. Specifically, disclose whether this belief resulted from discussions with the FDA.
We have revised our disclosure on pages 1, 3, 51, 57, 58 and 60 of Amendment No. 5 to add the following: “We believe, based on discussions with the FDA, that if the Phase 2/3 trial shows positive results, the data could be considered pivotal data, considering, among other things, the applicable FDA guidance for the industry called “Providing Clinical Evidence of Effectiveness for Human Drug and Biological Products.”
