Thank you, Tom. Our medical affairs organization is focused on building awareness of the TONMYA data that supported FDA approval through participation in key medical meetings. The team is also educating providers about the current diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia. The 2016 revised criteria state that fibromyalgia is not a diagnosis of exclusion. The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has stated that fibromyalgia is a diagnosable condition in long COVID. We believe broader understanding of these criteria could meaningfully grow the diagnosed population and help patients get treated earlier. Now I will move to our priority clinical development programs on Slide 6. We are enrolling participants into HORIZON, a Phase II potentially pivotal study of TNX-102 SL as a first-line monotherapy in adults with MDD. TNX-102 SL targets the disturbed sleep of depression through antagonism at 4 neuronal receptors, which we believe represents a novel approach. Despite FDA-approved treatments, MDD continues to impose a substantial burden on patients and leave room for better options. Moving to Slide 7. We're advancing TNX-4800, our long-acting monoclonal for the prevention of Lyme disease in the U.S. towards the initiation of an adaptive Phase II field study, which will be called TRAIL in the first quarter of 2027. We believe this study has the potential to demonstrate efficacy and if positive, support registration. In August, we received FDA minutes from our Type C meeting confirming overall agreement on the randomized placebo-controlled adaptive field study design. In the third quarter, we also submitted the study protocol to the FDA for their review. We are manufacturing investigational products and remain on track to deliver it to study sites in the first quarter of 2027. Additionally, we have selected our CRO partner and are evaluating potential study sites. We are pleased that our study has generated strong interest so far from potential sites. As a reminder, we expect to enroll approximately 3,300 adults, age 18 and older, from Lyme endemic areas in the U.S. who engage in activities that increase their risk of deer tick bites. We plan to enroll the study over 2 Lyme seasons, starting with a lead-in cohort of approximately 500 participants starting in the first quarter of 2027 that will address safety in addition to efficacy. After the second dose, a Data Safety Monitoring Board, or DSMB, is expected to review unblinded safety data. If cleared to proceed, we expect to enroll the balance of the efficacy cohort in the 2028 Lyme season. As you can see on Slide 8, the ideal participant will have meaningful outdoor exposure, understand the risk of Lyme disease, and be motivated to prevent infection. We expect to screen for exposure to endemic areas, age profile, willingness to prevent infection, risk perception, and lifestyle. Turning to Slide 9, an initial third-party commercial assessment conducted by Trinity Market Research in the third quarter supports TNX-4800's significant market opportunity. First, this assessment estimates that approximately 118 million U.S. adults may be at risk of Lyme disease because they live, work, or travel in high-risk endemic areas. This population could grow over time as tick habitats expand. Second, providers and payers cited high public awareness and concern about Lyme disease as reasons for their interest in TNX-4800. Additionally, they are enthused about TNX-4800's potential clinical differentiation, target population, phase I safety results, potential efficacy and potential rapid onset and duration of protection. They also cited Lyme prevention as the most significant unmet need for this condition. Finally, on Slide 10, an investigator-initiated phase II study of TNX-1500, our anti-CD40 ligand monoclonal antibody to prevent kidney transplant rejection, is expected to begin at Massachusetts General Hospital in the first quarter of 2027. CD40 ligand is also called CD154. The study is expected to enroll five patients. We believe TNX-1500 is a differentiated third-generation anti-CD40 ligand program. We engineered TNX-1500 to improve safety and tolerability relative to first-generation anti-CD40 ligand monoclonal antibodies while preserving the durable half-life and certain effector functions associated with the Fc, or crystallizable fragment. In this phase II study, the dose of conventional immunosuppressive drugs will be significantly reduced. Long-term use of conventional immunosuppressive drugs is associated with infection, cancer, cardiovascular side effects, and metabolic syndrome. With that, I will turn the call over to Bradley Saenger, our Chief Financial Officer, to review our financial results. Bradley?
