one maybe last question. And

you are mentioned You assessing timelines.

For still DUPLEX, that half would patient birthday and any mention I you is XXXth answer be for won't of guess, on question. it you track you're did second the And be this say enrolled year? can't in I Noah, you asking to I your because the
