So in that we really looked at the two main classes of inhibitors with BTK and then BCL2 with venetoclax, and the current paradigm is really which one do you use first. And there’s really no clear data. And actually some data that’s being shown here at iwCLL is showing that it doesn’t really matter which one you use first or second as the patients have similar outcomes in regards to PFS...

So in that we really looked at the two main classes of inhibitors with BTK and then BCL2 with venetoclax, and the current paradigm is really which one do you use first.
