The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Leif Lea. Leif?
Thank you, Zach. I will begin with a brief overview of our second quarter 2026 financials and then turn the call over to Richard for a business update. Research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2026 totaled $16 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2025. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher clinical trial costs associated with the development of socalitinib as well as an increase in personnel costs. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $18 million compared to a net loss of $8 million for the same period in 2025. Included in the net loss for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025 were non-cash losses of $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from Corvus' equity method investment in Angel Pharmaceuticals and a non-cash gain of $2 million in the second quarter of 2025 associated with a change in fair value of the company's warrant liability. Total stock compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026. was $2.6 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2025. As of June 30, 2026, Corvus had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling $215.2 million as compared to $56.8 million at December 31, 2025. Cash, as of June 30, 2026, included approximately $189.4 million in net proceeds received in a follow-on offering completed in Q1. Also, as announced on June 9th, 2026, Corvus invested $5 million in a $13.5 million financing completed by Angel Pharmaceuticals in the second quarter of 2026. Based on our cash position at June 30th, 2026 and our current plans, we expect our cash to fund operations into the second quarter of 2028. I will now turn the call over to Richard, who will discuss our clinical progress and elaborate on our strategy and plans.
