Thank you, Robert, and good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining the call here today. We are encouraged by our strong start to the year and believe 2026 is a defining period for Fennec. Our conviction is rooted in the progress across many multiple fronts. We've made important strategic enhancements to our business for 2026 that are strengthening our execution across the organization and positions us to continue to build momentum as the year unfolds on the commercial front. we're seeing encouraging early indicators, including positive experiences through our full-service patient support program, FENIC Hears, as well as trends that support our confidence in the opportunity ahead, and Terry will provide more color on those dynamics shortly. Beyond commercial execution, we continue to be encouraged by growing clinical interest in PITMARC and its broader potential. We are pleased to have recently announced a third investigator-initiated study with the University of Arizona Cancer Center to evaluate pedmark in adolescent and young adults, or AYA, and adult patients in head and neck and testicular cancers receiving cisplatin. The news follows recent initiations of two other institution-led clinical studies with Tampa General Hospital, Cancer Institute, and City of Hope. We believe that the data insights generated through these studies and others to come will help support broader clinical adoption of PEDMARC to prevent ototoxicity in AYA and adult cancer patients receiving cisplatin-based treatments. Additionally, four abstracts from key opinion leaders evaluating the utility of PEDMARC in preventing cisplatin-induced ototoxicity or permanent hearing loss were accepted for the presentation at this year's ASCO annual meeting. Collectively, these studies are continuing to the momentum and the growing body of evidence supporting potential use of Pedmark in new patient populations and tumor types. As a reminder, Pedmark is currently approved for pediatric patients one month of age and older with localized non-metastatic solid tumors and is also recognized by the National Cancer or National Comprehensive Cancer Network with a 2A recommendation for use in AYA patients. With regards to Japan, we had a positive informal PMDA meeting earlier this quarter. We continue to be in conversations and to explore partnering opportunities in that region. So, in summary, We're making meaningful progress across the drivers that matters most to our long-term success, expanding clinical momentum, strengthening commercial execution, and maintaining a solid financial foundation. Taken together with what we are observing early in Q2, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver sustained growth throughout this year. With that, I will turn it over to Terry for a detailed commercial update.
