Thanks, Jonathan, and good morning, everyone. Year to date, in 2025, we've continued to execute and meaningfully advance our commercial business and clinical development portfolio. The use of IL-1 alpha and beta inhibition with Arclist has increasingly become the preferred treatment for recurrent pericarditis, driving significant Arclist revenue growth and positioning our franchise for long-term success, both with Arclist and KPL387. We continue to be excited about the potential of our IL-1 inhibition franchise and fully intend to remain the market leader in recurrent perichondritis. Given the fact that, as last reported, we were only 15% penetrated into the multiple recurrence patient population, we expect to continue to grow our CLIS revenue. To this point, as announced this morning, we've raised our full year net sales guidance to between $670 to $675 million from our previous guidance of $625 and $640 million. We also believe KPL387 could be an important advancement in the treatment of options available for patients, potentially increasing penetration and growing the recurrent pericarditis market. We remain on track to report data from the Phase 2 dose focusing portion of the Phase 2, Phase 3 trial in the second half of next year. Additionally, we are pleased to report that early this month, the FDA granted KPL387, orphan drug designation for the treatment of pericarditis, which includes recurrent pericarditis. Importantly, we have maintained a robust financial position while continuing to create value without relying on the capital markets. Turning to the growing adoption of IL-1 alpha and beta inhibition with Arclist, we've introduced and advanced a fundamental shift in the treatment paradigm for this disease. Ross will share more details about this in a moment. In the third quarter, Arclist revenue grew to $180.9 million, which represents a growth of approximately $24 million over the previous quarter and approximately $69 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. While we're pleased with this growth, we continue to believe in the significant opportunity for additional growth ahead. As of the end of the second quarter, we were only 15% penetrated into the multiple recurrence opportunity. And we continue to see ARCLIS utilized earlier in the course of the disease. As previously stated, approximately 20% of Arclist prescriptions have been written for patients following their first recurrence. For patients who failed NSAIDs or colchicine, physicians are more readily turning to targeted IL-1 alpha and beta inhibition with Arclist, rather than risk an unnecessary flare by treating patients again with a previously unsuccessful treatment. Overall, the progress we've made reflects the medical community's growing adoption of IL-1 pathway inhibition and speaks to the future value creation of our IL-1 inhibition franchise. With that, I'll turn it over to Ross. Thank you, Sanj.
