Please remove statements that imply an expectation of regulatory approval, such as your disclosure on page 71 that compares RPT193 to currently marketed injectable biologics and states that RPT193 is as safe as effective as the current standard of care. Such statements are inappropriate given the stage of development of your drug candidates.
