Note:  Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits.  See § 240.13d-7 for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

1              The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

* The Series A and Common Stock Warrants held by certain of the Reporting Persons (collectively, the “Warrants”) are subject to a 4.99% blocker and the percentage set forth in row (13) gives effect to such blocker. However, the securities reported in rows (8), (10) and (11) show the number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon full exercise of such reported securities and do not give effect to such blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Reporting Person, after giving effect to such blocker, is less than the number of securities reported in rows (8), (10) and (11).

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On June 23, 2022, Iroquois Master Fund (together with its affiliates, “Iroquois”) delivered a letter to the Issuer (the “Nomination Notice”) nominating a slate of seven highly qualified director candidates:  Richard Abbe, Stephen Friscia, Kimberly Page, Charles S. Ryan, Jonathan L. Schechter, Joshua N. Silverman and Jude C. Uzonwanne (collectively, the “Nominees”), for election to the Board at the Issuer’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). As described in more detail in their detailed biographies below, the Nominees have backgrounds spanning drug development, intellectual property, capital markets, investment banking, strategic transformation and public company governance. Iroquois carefully selected this highly qualified slate of Nominees, including two direct Iroquois representatives, who collectively have decades of experience in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and broader healthcare industries, including experience as CEOs, senior executives, chairmen and directors of well-performing biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The election of the Nominees to the Board would result in a change to the composition of the Board and could constitute a change in control under certain of the Issuer’s material agreements.

Also on June 23, 2022, the Reporting Persons issued a press release and public letter to stockholders of the Issuer (the “Press Release”) announcing that Iroquois Master Fund had nominated the Nominees for election to the Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting. In the Press Release, the Reporting Persons detailed their views for why the Board needed to be materially reconstituted by a majority of directors truly committed to representing the best interests of all of the Issuer’s stockholders, including that the Board has attempted to downplay serious concerns that the Reporting Persons believe are widely shared by the Issuer’s stockholders and has deflected accountability for (i) shifting timelines and missed milestones related to the commencement of the Issuer’s Phase 2b clinical trial, (ii) chronic stock price underperformance, (iii) dismal corporate governance and investor communication practices and (iv) its lack of alignment with the Issuer’s stockholders, evidenced in part by the incumbent directors’ failure to ever purchase a single Share in the open market. In the Press Release, Iroquois cautioned stockholders of the Issuer to be mindful of the root causes of such concerns and not to be fooled by the Issuer’s fortuitous capital raise in August 2021 and its more recent half-baked attempts to implement a handful of measures, which were recommended by Iroquois over the course of its private engagement with the Issuer, only after Iroquois made its concerns and such recommendations public in a reactionary and defensive attempt to maintain the status quo consisting of a Board led by Kenneth L. Waggoner, the Issuer’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board and his hand-picked appointees. The full text of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Nominees are:
