     File No. 377-01144
     Initially Confidentially Submitted September 4, 2015

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of WAVE LIFE SCIENCES PTE. LTD. (the “Company”), we would like to provide you with an advanced copy of the pipeline chart that the Company plans to include on pages 6 and 79 of the draft registration statement. See attachment. The Company anticipates including this pipeline chart as part of its next amendment to the draft registration statement, which it anticipates would occur in early October as part of its response to any initial Staff comments. However, as we discussed, we thought it might be useful to your initial review to have an advanced copy.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Matthew J. Gardella
