Thanks, Jamie, and good morning everyone. I want to thank you all for joining us on today's call. On this morning's call, we will focus on the company's third quarter and year-to-date performance. We'll discuss key metrics and significant commercial highlights for LUPKYNIS. We'll then provide an update on our progress outside the U.S. and close with a brief update on R&D activities for both LUPKYNIS, as well as our pipeline assets.
