You know, treatment burden is the first conversation I have with a lot of patients when I first meet them. I talk about how we're going to get to know each other very well over the next year or two because of the fact that they're going to have very frequent visits. And the vast majority of studies, when you look at 5 years out, have shown less frequent visits over time with intensive therapy for the first 2 years. If we can get past the first 2 years, and I know pretty much that that number of injections goes way down and potentially there'll be less burden on the patient, albeit that those first 2 years are pretty burdensome.
