So in terms of adoption, anything new faces some resistance. It depends on the impact. In conversation with my physician colleagues, supportive care is less of a hill to climb over, so to speak. When you start replacing drugs that have impact on therapeutic outcomes, physicians are cautious. I think people will be cautious. But I think the data to date certainly supports that there is certainly reason to adopt biosimilars in the therapeutic realm, so I suspect it’s going to happen. To be frank, there is an economic piece as well. If it’s a more attractive option, I think everyone is aware about the cost of healthcare, and certainly people think that biosimilars are one way to attack that problem. And I think, frankly, everyone involved is onboard to reduce healthcare costs.
