Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock set forth on this Schedule 13D and hold their shares of Common Stock for investment purposes. Christopher Garabedian and Fred Callori serve as members of the Issuer’s board of directors. Mr. Garabedian is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xontogeny. Mr. Callori is Senior Vice President at Xontogeny, LLC, and a partner in the Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Funds.

Each Reporting Person expects to continuously review such person’s investment in the Issuer and, depending on various factors including but not limited to, the price of the shares of Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction, prevailing market conditions and such other considerations as such Reporting Person deems relevant, may at any time or from time to time, and subject to any required regulatory approvals, acquire additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock from time to time on the open market, in privately- negotiated transactions, directly from the Issuer, or upon the exercise or conversion of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

Each Reporting Person also may, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and regulatory requirements dispose or distribute some or all of its of his Common Stock or such other securities as it or he owns or may subsequently acquire depending on various factors, including but not limited to, the price of the shares, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as the liquidity and diversification objectives.

Consistent with their investment intent, each Reporting Person may from time to time discuss with the Issuer’s management, directors, other shareholders and others, the Issuer’s performance, business, strategic direction, capital structure, product development program, prospects and management, as well as various ways of maximizing stockholder value, which may or may not include extraordinary transactions.

A stockholder who purports to be acting also on behalf of other potential investors has approached Perceptive Advisors LLC (“Perceptive”) with offers to purchase some or all of its Shares of Common Stock in a transaction that included other conditions involving the Issuer, which presumably would require the cooperation of the Issuer. Perceptive has considered these offers in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties to its own investors, and has rejected them, although discussions are ongoing. Perceptive remains open to the possibility of selling all of its shares of Common Stock under the right circumstances and pursuant to terms it deems acceptable.

Except as indicated herein, no Reporting Person, as a stockholder of the Issuer, has any plans or proposals that relates or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) though (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its or his position and/or change its or his purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
