Thanks, Anna. Excuse me. Good morning. Welcome, everybody. Appreciate your time today. As usual, I'll start today's call with a review of Rubracca sales for the quarter. Sales in Q4 2021 were $36 million, 5% lower than the prior quarter and 17% lower year-over-year compared to Q4 2020. As seen over the previous quarters, this year-over-year decline is primarily due to fewer diagnoses and fewer patient starts in the U.S. and Europe, primarily caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the continuing impact of COVID-19, we believe we have maintained our U.S. market share for Rubraka in the second-line maintenance ovarian cancer setting. We do expect that as patient visits begin to rise, diagnoses increase, and the urgent need to more actively manage this often fatal disease grow, maintenance treatment of ovarian cancer patients will increase, including the use of Rubraka for women with advanced disease. Perhaps even more importantly, we see a significant opportunity to move into earlier lines of therapy with Rubraka in both the U.S. and Europe. We anticipate three Phase III readouts this year. Athenomono as monotherapy in the first-line ovarian cancer maintenance treatment setting, now expected in Q2 based on a slower-than-expected pace of progression-free survival events, or PFS events, and Athenocombo in combination with Obdevo in the first-line ovarian cancer maintenance treatment setting in Q4, and TRITON-3 in the second-line prostate cancer treatment setting for selected patients in Q2. These trials potentially allow Rubraka to address larger patient populations in earlier lines of therapy for both ovarian and prostate cancer and could drive growth in Rubraka sales in both the U.S. and Europe. Lindsay will provide an update on these clinical programs. For FAP2286, the Phase I portion of Lumiere continues to enroll and we are committed to maintaining our lead in the clinical development of an FAP-targeted radionuclide therapeutic candidate. We and our investigators remain extremely enthusiastic about this program and look forward to presenting data at nuclear medicine meetings during 2022 and initiating the Phase II portion of the Lumiere study later this year. Tom and Lindsay will speak in more detail to developments about the FAP-2026 program. In fact, to that end, I'll turn the call over to Tom, our Chief, Thomas Harding. Sorry, Tom. our Chief Scientific Officer, to discuss the FAP2286 and targeted radionuclide therapeutic development programs.
