Yeah, we were pleased to co-sponsor a symposium on Friday on follicular lymphoma, new treatments for the relapsed/refractory setting, and our job was to bring the patient insights into that. Obviously, there’s a lot of exciting news during that symposium and over the few days of ASH. New bispecific antibodies, CAR T-cell therapies and small molecules. The number of new options for patients with relapsing refractory follicular lymphoma is expanding an amazing amount of information. Patients have a difficult time understanding all these options and knowing how to choose. And so there’s a key need for shared decision making, and that requires patients to be educated, and it requires the healthcare professional to be educated and to take into account the patient’s own needs at that time, which can change. It depends on their caregiver, how far they live from the center. So there’s a lot that goes into choosing the best of these expanding options for the patient at that time.
