Transcript:

The interesting aspects are looking at not only new drugs, new monoclonal antibodies, new CAR T-cells, [or] new bispecific antibodies. Looking at all these different modalities that can be utilized for all different types of hematologic malignancies, either alone or potentially in the future, combined together [is interesting]. We are going to have so many potential treatments that we will be able to [utilize to] help more patients and be able to get these new novel therapies to many more people.
