In terms of newer and emerging treatments for endometriosis, I think it's important to know what treatment options are available. So, we have hormonal contraceptive pills that are available. We also have the GNrH antagonist, as well as agonist options that are available, progesterone therapy. A newer treatment that has become available is the medication called Myfembree, which is a once a daily treatment approved by the US FDA for the management of moderate to severe pain that is associated with endometriosis. Treatment durations can be up to 24 months, but I think the really most important thing is as we look to future treatments, we really need to shift it towards a really, a patient-centric, multidisciplinary approach that really focuses on a patient as a whole, rather than one off or two off symptoms.
