So there's various different medications that are in the current pipeline for atopic dermatitis. Many of these are biologics or things that are gonna be targeting the innate and immune response. There's so many that are currently on the pipeline. It's a really exciting time now, but there's also other ways that we can treat atopic dermatitis, as well, and other therapeutic modalities that are currently being evaluated. So for example, modulating the skin microbiome, that's something that's currently being addressed, but proof of concept studies are really not yet available for this. Also, targeting the epidermal barrier to address the structural alterations in atopic dermatitis is something that's currently being underway, as well. And of course, there's new medications that are currently being studied to help identify what the mechanisms or mediators are within the itch/scratch cycle and how to disrupt this, so how to impair patients from scratching and feeling itchy.
