We will also share our progress in evaluating the use of MVT-2163 as an immuno-PET imaging agent. And we will explain the significance of being issued a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for our fully-human monoclonal antibody that forms the basis for both our MVT-5873 and MVT-2163 clinical development programs.”
