Jason Our Group. with next question comes the Maxim of from McCarthy line

now is line Your open.

Jason. Joanne for on This taking Thanks guys. Lee, Hi the for question. is

I you implant fully Biotech, funded? if pathway over of further go then ongoing And Microchips on some the of understand could on contraceptive wondering the acquisition I to details being is guidance approval? its some which the Regarding was program,

Yes.

have proof the still stage kind preclinical really products the like a like areas concept One concept of of technology of the profiles preclinical proof we stage. The study device is to itself areas and there within design through contraceptive in So which the been two for human a things really obviously that development that I has of and and program the program, this technology is activities. in is and like through development show focus technology at the been the in of stage optimizing say that. around development core release is, the

So preclinical and what for think are as development into about preparing would clinical that any, you do you often doing typically to any as kind are go in you studies. program at phase human

really program. stage in includes be animal would as this design the at work So that as that work done well development the

are a As well she as it's like also to to we great research technology like use those how to design to make really would sure opportunity understand do market with achieving this all women a objectives.

these So development. of a that hopefully next about thinking are gives you sense of how phases we

more to to there your trying questions. am was remember I if

did funding. Yes. And about the ask you

we has the press in call granted million $XX.X funding available $XX they million. in to been was and So Approximately had, announced it our $XX.X million, release and there so Q, issued date. to that up

did operations another received fund Sabrina program is XXXX. a into great about their for million, there is which with that it So funding what's nice as opportunity come was which will noted, Daré. if so $X.X existing

those female And really of that to fund next animal including phases activity work.

Okay. health was you FDA's contraceptives little more all am question. extended to like just another the Agile's actually I views on may the a is if specifically February, don't in to contraceptives, an just the the ago, aware, unexpected. call bring which really and wanted Can products they market? approval PDUFA think way with are guys. the got willingness jump your This hormonal hour I be bit discuss on I Jason. to just too. till Hi into I and women's or efforts you

us I question. to and you to gives also the little business It's us frankly a talk talk an giving Yes. field Daré. opportunity great a about bit for think about the Thank at opportunity our it model

on going, talked we portfolio So or about you hard the talking have or I whether worked to didn't Sildenafil and we true One achieve we Cream I of have but of Ovaprene and designed portfolio about have you kind can couple built constantly tiered are Microchips of milestones probably targets we being, an a while think clinical for as as we we our this our keep as BVX you or and mention is operational investors, very, it's the very we objectives. about am and the program, worked I to have all and interesting our portfolio. call, portfolio are regulatory also, hitting kind should it's I across events data, design. n Because

think 's interesting structure. is So portfolio in I a

But they question persistent interest for the women. our products clearly defined to strongly about unmet speak that interested women address program. can approving absolutely to approving in specific products products And for sildenafil ensuring needs. I and and their your are FDA that to believe women have We in

last As we meeting a you had Type know C year.

ongoing feel year. having are why is which we with the We will clarity we discussions obviously go into have as agency we the

is So definitely to new women. interest and with market sponsors there enthusiasm for products working to bring

exactly say, second areas could willingness. I there have where lean be don't that risk to marginally from no the we category right. a persistent our to tended portfolio and be there a need, will equivalent So is meaning to or very a other company that design even a is as clear in program, product unmet we that for perspective, again doubt towards considered

one-time BVX, administration of clindamycin. So

a is cream. clear it's cream, and while This bioadhesive. gel. while other not one-time is another It's even So creams there there's a a clindamycin

first month look once a If hormone free contraceptive. ever it's the you Ovaprene, at

arousal look the the where first you sildenafil, developed category approved. for there it's product at else is If nothing disorder in being

way agency are with with the where as and definitely to mean category category that have your be in And the have there there that the slam when someone may means right, benefits looking to they you to a product enough certain always as while as where a similar for perception isn't quite that, risks, not nothing there is to outweigh differentiated. opposed offering else looking type of work do that I your available a are at is something at they any the agency end, conversation a and the dunk, in imply anything a it's

built it end successful that them will rooting are that product we think I we because their interesting hopefully, and be nice the are that's because to But we is some context that interactions. at really don't FDA want available Agile an why it we our and our for gives how Daré see be for to how for there armamentarium today. and looking do addition us, XXX% portfolio So important and

Great. Thank Sabrina. Okay. you

Yes.
