Thanks, Kabir. Hi, everyone. Thank you for joining. As Kabir outlined, we have achieved significant milestones in the first half of the year. Notably, advanced important commercial readiness initiatives across organizational capabilities, strategic collaboration, policy and payer engagement, and distribution. All significant steps towards being launch ready. Earlier this year, we rounded out hiring of the commercial leadership team, attracting highly experienced, energized leaders who immediately started to build out their functions. My direct reports come from companies like J&J, Gilead, Otsuka, and Axsome, and between them have led over 70 product launches. The prospect of launching the first psychedelic in history with a medicine that has the potential to fundamentally change the way mental health is treated is a very powerful attractor of talent. And we are bringing in outstanding professionals from across the pharma industry. I am incredibly proud of the team we are building at COMPASS. In the first half of this year, we also announced additional strategic collaborations with Radial and Osmind, taking the total to 8, each with their own distinct capabilities. These collaborations played a critical role in helping to inform our priority focus at launch of ensuring optimal end patient experience. With the final submission of our NDA expected in the fourth quarter, our focus in the second half of this year is on operationalizing launch plans and ensuring launch readiness. This includes advancing everything from training, education, access and reimbursement, and patient support mechanisms. Importantly, we have also already initiated recruiting for the sales force. Our time lines for launch remain fluid, given the National Priority Review Voucher and executive order in April, and the need for DEA -- federal DEA and state rescheduling. We remain focused on being ready to launch, which we anticipate being in the first half of 2027. At launch, we will leverage the well-established existing interventional psychiatry treatment center infrastructure. These treatment sites are specifically designed to support in-office treatments for products that require multi-hour monitoring, such as Spravato, TMS, and ECT. The established infrastructure has existing capacity, and importantly, is already equipped with the staff and operational know-how needed to support additional multi-hour treatments like COMP360. 7 years ago, when Spravato launched, this infrastructure did not exist. Today, there are more than 8,000 established sites across the U.S., and this continues to grow rapidly. COMP360 is poised to lead a profound shift in mental health care, moving beyond daily or frequent dosing toward an option potentially involving just a few treatments a year, which could be life-changing for patients. Across 2 highly statistically significant and positive Phase III trials, COMP360 demonstrated extremely rapid onset of action with deep and clinically meaningful reduction in depressive symptoms as quickly as 1 day, unprecedented durability sustained through at least 6 months, and notably, reproducibility of effect in a chronic treatment resistant patient population, one of the most difficult psychiatric conditions in which to demonstrate efficacy. The data are strong, and both patients and prescribers are excited about the potential for a new treatment option. In recent prescriber focused market research, approximately 90% of interventional psychiatrists stated that they would prescribe COMP360 within the first year being available. In my experience, this is the highest willingness to prescribe percentage I have ever seen in prelaunch market research. With the COMP360 emerging profile and continued interest and excitement around the class, we are eager to bring a new treatment option to the 4 million patients living with TRD today who have limited treatment options. And we are confident in the blockbuster opportunity. COMP360 has the potential to fundamentally change the way that patients living with depression are care for and COMPASS is committed to helping as many patients as possible. We are making significant progress towards being launch ready, and I look forward to discussing more with you throughout the rest of this very exciting year. Thank you, and let me hand the call back to Kabir.
