In context
“ues to exceed our expectations with physicians and patient communities highlighting meaningful improvements in on time and off time from the 24-hour delivery and the control of symptoms throughout the morning, day and night. VYALEV is the only Parkinson's treatment that often replaces the need for add-on oral therapies to manage motor fluctuations, reducing the daily pill, pill burden for these patients. We anticipate expanded coverage of VYALEV in the U.S. soon, which we expect will provide further revenue inflection next year. I'm also excited about tavapadon, where we are pursuing approval for use as a monotherapy for early Parkinson's disease as well as an adjunct to optimize oral therapy for more advanced patients. This will be a very complementary offering for both VYALEV and DUOPA. Given the significant commercial opportunity with our emerging Parkinson's portfolio, we are now actively expanding our field sales team to support higher anticipated demand next year. Overall, again, we are demonstrating strong revenue growth and our commercial execution has been outstanding. And with that, I'll turn the call to Roopal for comments on our R&D highlights. Roopal? Roopal Thakkar: Thank you, Jeff. Starting with immunology, we announced positive top line results from the second Phase III Rinvoq alopecia areata trial, reinforcing the potential for Rinvoq to significantly improve hair regrowth for patients suffering from severe forms of this condition. Data were consistent with the results from the first trial with Rinvoq demonstrating meaningful improvement in hair regrowth across both doses compared to placebo. We remain on track to begin submitting regulatory applications later this year. We also recently announced positive top line results from 2 Phase I”
