SCHEDULE 13D
| Item 2(a). | Identity and Background. |
This Amendment No. 1 (Amendment) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 25, 2019 (the Original Schedule 13D), by Longitude Venture Partners III, L.P. (LVPIII), Longitude Capital Partners III, LLC (LCPIII, and together with LVPIII, the Reporting Entities), Patrick G. Enright (Enright) and Juliet Tammenoms Bakker (Tammenoms Bakker and together with Enright, the Managing Members), the managing members of LCPIII and Joshua Richardson (Richardson and together with the Managing Members, the Reporting Individuals), a member of LCPIII and a member of the Issuers board of directors (the Board). The Reporting Entities and the Reporting Individuals are collectively referred to as the Reporting Persons. The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act is attached hereto as Exhibit 1. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities reported in this Statement except to the extent of such Reporting Persons pecuniary interest therein, other than those securities reported herein as being held directly by such Reporting Person. Only those items that are hereby reported are amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following language:
On January 21, 2020, the stockholders of the Issuer (the Stockholder Approval) approved a 1-for-40 reverse stock split of its Common Stock (the Stock Split). Following such Stockholder Approval, on January 22, 2020, the Issuer effected the Stock Split resulting in the Reporting Persons holding the number of shares described in line 11 of each Reporting Persons cover page.
The Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of the Issuers Common Stock on January 29, 2020, the 5th trading date following the announcement of Stockholder Approval. As a result, the Series A Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Persons converted automatically, without any additional consideration into 1,477,320 shares of the Issuers Common Stock on a 1-for-75.76 basis.
On November 29, 2020, Richardson was granted an option to purchase 1,500 shares of the Issuers Common Stock, as adjusted for the Stock Split, pursuant to the Issuers 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended from time to time.
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
| Exhibit 5: | 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and corresponding Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Agreement (filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Issuers Registration Statement on Form S-1/A as filed with the Commission on July 6, 2015 (SEC File No. 333-204921) and incorporated herein by reference). |

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
