Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staffs comment and advises the Staff that it has modified the disclosure to take care to distinguish between the specialty distribution channel and its access to an established national specialty pharmacy network through its specialty pharmacy distributor. In an amendment to the Registration Statement, the Company intends to provide additional disclosure regarding the additional funds it will take to establish that channel and whether it believes the funds raised in the offering will suffice to accomplish the stated purpose.
