Well, I think first of all, I think it's a very interesting question. And what we're seeing, and I think Matt asked the question before in a slightly different way. And is that we're seeing that the data start to actually come forward in terms of some of the allogeneic approaches. And the fact that many of the companies talk about multiple dosings that are sort of heading towards obviously indicates that while there is activity, in order to sort of get a more sustained activity in DLBCL patients, which is really -- you need to get, frankly, you have to get to a certain level of cures in these patients to make your therapy worthwhile. But that may take a few more steps. And of course, the more you add in terms of dosings and reconditioning and so on and so forth, you add complexity to the therapy. You add complexity from a management perspective, complexity from a treatment group perspective. And you take away differentiation from a, frankly, a standard chemotherapy, antibody drug conjugate, antibody type of combination approach that we also are a bispecific approach, that is also active in this space. And I think that's one of sort of the key questions will be, what's the stand-alone activity? And can you really differentiate yourself away with those approaches from other approaches that are currently being pushed. What we do see is that still the level of sustained CRS that are seen on the CAR-T side and the autologous CAR-T side, at this point, at least, has not been matched by any other therapeutic modality. And I think that, I think, certainly creates an opening and to part of the comment I made before about follicular lymphoma, having a good safety profile will be important in order for patients to really gain access to the therapy. Because those patients, as we pointed out many times during the course of the last 24 months or so, tend not to be treated at the academic hospitals in DLBCL. They're actually much more further out into the periphery. And with that, you need a product that actually has a good level of safety. And those are obviously hallmarks. We're seeing both. We've seen it with AUTO3, and we're now obviously exploring with AUTO1, obi-cell, and I think we're going to get a very good feel where that's going to go. But certainly, there's more complexity in the DLBCL space than probably, I think, many folks anticipated earlier this year.
