I think we already know now, that HER2, MSS, or MSI should stay, And CPS you know, those are, I'd say validated biomarkers. We have a few more on the way hopefully with FGFR2B, and also claudin18, and hopefully others beyond that.

So, we do have hopefully a good plan for the next few years to develop new drugs and this, you know, terribly unmet need.
