[Music] What are clinical trials in myeloma? Clinical trials are on average looking at therapies for patients with myeloma. And they are every part of the disease at newly diagnosed at the time of transplant, the time of relapse, we're looking at treatments. We're looking at things for myeloma, bone disease, we're looking at things to decrease infection. Any thing we can do to make life better. That's the focus on clinical trials. And that's the only way we're going to make the next steps. The next advances get closer to a cure, and that's what clinical trials are. And ideally it'll be a way for us to go out of business so we never have to see patients with myeloma repeatedly. We get a diagnosis, we take them into a room, we give them their treatment, and they never come back. And that's what we dream about. A clinical trial is really a systematic investigation of, say, a new drug in human subjects. [Music]
