Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) relates to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of Elevation Oncology, Inc. (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 888 Seventh Ave., 12th Floor, New York, New York 10106. This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the original statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons and Aaron Royston with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 9, 2021, and Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons and Aaron Royston on May 27, 2022 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 2 is being filed solely to remove Aaron Royston as a Reporting Person, because Mr. Royston does not beneficially own any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.  Mr. Royston was inadvertently included as a Reporting Person in the Schedule 13D originally filed with the SEC on July 9, 2021, and Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 27, 2022. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the previous information reported in the original Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Schedule 13D is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and together the “Reporting Persons”):

i. venBio Global Strategic Fund III, L.P., a Cayman Islands partnership (the “Fund III”);

ii. venBio Global Strategic GP III, L.P., a Cayman Islands partnership (the “General Partner III”), which is the sole general partner of Fund III;

iii. venBio Global Strategic GP III, Ltd., a Cayman Islands company (the “GP Ltd. III”), which is the sole general partner of the General Partner III;

iv. Robert Adelman, a citizen of the United States of America and a director of the GP Ltd. III; and

v. Corey Goodman (together with Robert Adelman, the “Directors”), a citizen of the United States of America and a director of the GP Ltd. III.

The principal business address of each Reporting Person is c/o venBio Partners, LLC, 1700 Owens Street, Suite 595, San Francisco, CA 94158. The principal business of Fund III is to make strategic equity and equity-related investments principally in entities operating in the life sciences industry and/or assets relating thereto. The principal business of the General Partner III is to act as the sole general partner of the Fund III. The principal business of the GP Ltd. III is to act as the sole general partner of the General Partner III. The principal business of each of the Directors is to manage the General Partner III and the GP Ltd. III.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a)-(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a)-(b) The information set forth in rows 7 through 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference. The percentage set forth in row 13 is based on 23,289,064 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Issuer’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC on August 4, 2022.

CUSIP No. 28623U101 Page 8 of 9 Pages

As of June 29, 2021 (the date of the original Schedule 13D), the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 2,608,167 shares of Common Stock, which amount represented approximately 11.43% of the 22,822,230 shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  These figures were reported in the original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on July 9, 2021.

Fund III directly holds all of the shares of Common Stock reported herein and in the original Schedule 13D. As the sole general partner of Fund III, the General Partner III may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Fund III and as the sole general partner of the General Partner III, the GP Ltd. III may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Fund III. As directors of the GP Ltd. III, each of the Directors may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by Fund III.
