Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D
The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by Consonance Capital Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Consonance”), Consonance Capman GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Capman”), and Dr. Mitchell Blutt, the principal of Consonance (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 22, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 5, 2019, Amendment No. 2 filed on July 10, 2019, and Amendment No. 3 filed on August 5, 2019. This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.
This Schedule 13D relates to Common Stock of the Issuer purchased by Consonance through the accounts of Consonance’s private fund client and potentially through its managed account client (collectively, the “Consonance Investors”). Consonance serves as the investment manager to the Consonance Investors and may direct the vote and dispose of the 2,075,970 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors. As the general partner of Consonance, Capman may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,075,970 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors. As the principal of Consonance, Dr. Blutt may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,075,970 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based on 41,635,099 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 4, 2019, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2019.
Consonance, as the investment manager of the Consonance Investors, may be deemed to beneficially own the 2,075,970 shares of Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors, representing approximately 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
In addition, Capman and Dr. Blutt, as the general partner and principal, respectively, of Consonance, the investment manager of the Consonance Investors, may also be deemed to beneficially own the 2,075,970 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Consonance Investors, representing approximately 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock reported herein that are not directly owned by such Reporting Person.  No Other Officer beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
(b) Consonance, Capman and Dr. Blutt have the shared power to vote and dispose of the Common Stock held by the Consonance Investors reported in this Schedule 13D.
(c) Except as previously disclosed in this Schedule 13D, as amended, Annex A attached hereto lists all transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty (60) days by the Reporting Persons (on behalf of the Consonance Investors). Each of the transactions in the Common Stock were effected in the open market.
(d) The Consonance Investors hold the shares of Common Stock reported herein.  Other than as set forth herein, no person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock.
(e) On September 5, 2019, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Issuer's shares of Common Stock.

Signatures
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
