So again, in relapse refractory multiple myeloma, I think, you know, we're seeing, again, lots of activity with T-cell redirecting therapies. We're seeing a lot of these therapies that we're used to seeing some of the data in greater than three or four lines of treatment. We're seeing that data being moved in earlier lines of treatment. So we already, across the world, in many parts of the world, cilta-cel, for example, is being moved to an earlier line of treatment and there's additional clinical trials that will in fact be evaluating in first line of treatment.

So I think in this relapse refractory setting, we're seeing a shift in a lot of those therapies that have been very exciting in moving it earlier. You know, it remains to be seen how the efficacy and durability is as well as some of the toxicity. So even at this COMy, there was a lot of discussion around what toxicity is tolerable or should be accepted, especially as you move some of these therapies up front. So I would say in the next few years, you know, we'll see a lot of activity probably in that one to three prior lines or potentially even be in the newly diagnosed setting as all of these therapies get moved upfront.
