Thank you, Dantha. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to QRIS's third quarter business update call. Let's start with our take-aim lymphoma study, which is evaluating emavucirtib in combination with ibrutinib in relapsed refractory PCNSL patients that have failed after treatment with the BTK inhibitor. These patients are generally treated with a methotrexate-based regimen, which includes chemo or radiation in the frontline setting. followed by a BTK inhibitor when a patient's disease progresses. It's when this treatment fails in the salvage line setting that patients become eligible to enroll in our study and receive M of Usertib in combination with ibrutinib. The thesis for this combination, which is supported by both preclinical data and our early clinical data, is that blocking both of the pathways driving NHL, blocking the TLR pathway with emavucirtib and blocking the BCR pathway with ibrutinib, can enable patients to achieve an objective response even after they've progressed on ibrutinib. In September, at the third annual IRAC IV Symposium in Cancer, we released an update of our PCNSL data with 10 evaluable patients. These data showed three complete responses, CRs, one unconfirmed complete response, CRU, and two partial responses, or PRs. The duration of response for three of the four patients with a CR or CRU was greater than six months. These data are very early but also encouraging, especially given the high unmet need in this population. We continue to enroll patients in this study. and are actively engaging with regulatory authorities to gain alignment on the registrational path. As a reminder, this study is being run in the US, Europe, and Israel. It goes without saying that defining the registrational path to approval is a critical next step in MFUSRTIB's development, and I'm pleased with the progress we're making. Now let's move on to our Take Aim Leukemia study, which is evaluating MFUSRTIB as monotherapy in patients with relapsed refractory AML. At ASCO and EHA earlier this year, we provided updated data for patients with a FLT3 mutation. These data showed six of 11 evaluable patients achieved an objective response, including three CRs, one CRH, and two MLFSs. Also of note, three of the 11 patients were naive to treatment with a FLT3 inhibitor. all three of these patients achieved an objective response. And three of the remaining eight patients, those who had failed prior treatment with a FLT3 inhibitor, achieved an objective response. At the ASH meeting next month, an expanded data set of 19 response-available patients will be presented by Dr. Eric Weiner from Dana-Farber in an oral presentation on Monday, December 9th. We will also be providing updated data for our study in patients with high-risk MDS in a poster by lead author Dr. Guillermo Garcia-Monero from MD Anderson being presented on Sunday, December 8th. Overall, I'm very pleased with the progress in both our Take Aim leukemia and Take Aim lymphoma studies, and I look forward to providing additional updates as the year progresses. With that, I'll turn the call over to Diantha for the financial update. Diantha?
