           Amendment No. 1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
           Submitted November 29, 2018
           CIK No. 0001728117

Dear Dr. Gujrathi:

      We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the
following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and
either submitting
an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration
statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances
or do not
believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

      After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments
and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may
have additional
comments.

Amendment No. 1 to DRS on Form S-1

Prospectus Summary, page 1

1.     We note your response to prior comment 1 regarding your belief that the
preclinical
       programs provide investors with information about the scope of your
current and future
       development focus areas. However, your revised narrative disclosure
regarding your BKT
       inhibitors and small molecule cancer metabolism modulators appear to
indicate that these
       programs are still in very preliminary stages. Please tell us why it is
not sufficient to
       provide information to investors about these early programs in narrative
form, and why
       you believe it is appropriate to highlight them with the same level of
prominence as your
       other programs in graphic form in the Prospectus Summary.
