The following constitutes Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 4”). This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On January 17, 2017, Mark N. Lampert submitted a letter to the Issuer resigning from his position as director of the Board, effective immediately, for reasons provided to the Issuer in his resignation letter.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
(a)           The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based on a denominator that is the sum of: (a) 22,551,740 Shares outstanding as of November 7, 2016, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2016, adjusted for the reverse stock split of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares at a ratio of 1-for-6 and (b) 1,718,370 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon the conversion of certain Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
The Reporting Persons hold warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 833,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants are currently exercisable for $30.00 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, and expire on December 5, 2018.  The Warrants may not be exercised if, after such exercise, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), more than 9.999% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, subject to increase or decrease to the ownership limitation as set forth in the Warrants, but in no event in excess of 19.999% of the Shares outstanding.
 
The Reporting Persons hold 17,250 Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, 7,500 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, 5,333 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and 2,500 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convertible for an approximate aggregate of 5,430,500 shares of Common Stock. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, more than 19.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, more than 9.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, more than 4.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock may not be converted if, after such conversion, the Reporting Persons would beneficially own, as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, more than 4.99% of the Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion.
 
As of the date hereof, since the Reporting Persons in the aggregate own in excess of 9.99%, the shares described herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons exclude the Shares underlying the Warrants and the Shares underlying the Series C, B and A Convertible Preferred Stock.
 
 
 
BVF Inc., as the general partner of Partners, may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,851,595 Shares beneficially owned by Partners.
 
Mr. Lampert, as a director and officer of BVF Inc. may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,851,595 Shares beneficially owned by BVF Inc.
 
(b)           Each of BVF, BVF2 and Trading Fund OS shares with Partners voting and dispositive power over the Shares each such entity beneficially owns.  Trading Fund OS shares with Partners OS, voting and dispositive power over the Shares beneficially owned by Trading Fund OS.  Partners, BVF Inc. and Mr. Lampert share voting and dispositive power over the 4,851,595 Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own with BVF, BVF2, Trading Fund OS and Partners OS.
 
(c)           The Reporting Persons have not entered into any transactions in securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days.
 
The Reporting Persons, as members of a “group” for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.
