Thanks, Jenny, and good afternoon, everyone. Today, I'm excited to discuss several recent value creating achievements related to our suprachoroidal platform. We've had two weeks of really good news. We completed enrollment in ODYSSEY, our Phase 2b wet AMD clinical trial, with top line data expected in the third quarter of 2024.

We announced a new partnership with BioCryst Pharmaceuticals to expand our external development pipeline with a plasma kallikrein inhibitor for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. Both of our other suprachoroidal collaboration partners, REGENXBIO and Aura Biosciences, recently presented positive safety and efficacy data through Phase 2 with their respective compounds using our SCS microinjector.
