So I think one of the biggest like unmet needs is having these standardized severity scales that can guide treatment. So we have a couple of them like that are currently being used. So like the Eczema Area and Severity Index and the Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scales. Those are the ones that are most commonly used and the ones that are most reliable in clinical practice. I think also control of skin disease and the symptoms is very, very difficult and we need to have like greater consensus over as to like what our therapeutic goals are going to be. And we should probably divide that into like, you know, controlling things like daytime symptoms, nighttime symptoms, and also kind of teasing out what are more like short and medium-term goals. So like our immediate goals and what are gonna be some of our longer goals with their treatment of atopic dermatitis.
