This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 10, 2017 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 11, 2017, the “Schedule 13D”, and as amended by this Amendment No. 2, the “Statement”) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Aileron Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 490 Arsenal Way, Watertown, MA 02472. This Amendment No. 2 is filed to disclose (1) changes to beneficial ownership as a result of the disposition of shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Person and an increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as well as (2) that the Reporting Person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

 

The response set forth in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting Schedule 1 in its entirety and replacing it with Schedule 1 attached.
