So a treatment plan, depending on which vasculitis you have. And most of the time these vasculitis are chronic, as we said, and they last for a long time. So, and then within, you know, each specific vasculitis for say, let's take a granulomatosis with polyangiitis, it does not present the same with each patient. And depending on the manifestation and depending on the risk factor that happened within that give us a higher risk of having relapse it does, the treatment plan and the outlook differs, between one patient to another. So everything comes individualized and also depends on the damage. Like if someone comes in and have severe kidney impairment because of the vasculitis affected their kidney, very, very bad, I may keep them on no longer treatment rather than a patient who have not had any damage. So everything is individualized and will also keep the patient informed that help us in shared medical decisions.
