Good afternoon and welcome to Cara Therapeutics' First Quarter 2019 Financial Results Conference Call. All participants are now in listen-only mode. There will be a question-and-answer session at the end. Please be advised that this call is being recorded at Cara's request. I would like to turn the call over to the Cara team.
