+Added: We continue to anticipate that short-term effects may continue to emerge across different aspects of our global clinical trial programs.
+Added: For example, while we expect ongoing monitoring of already-enrolled patients to continue, difficulties in monitoring may result as a consequence of shelter in place orders and other protective measures implemented by governmental authorities or clinical trial sites.
+Added: In addition, new patient recruitment in certain clinical trials has been and may in the future be impacted, in particular with respect to our earlier stage clinical trials.
+Added: We also expect the conduct of clinical trials may continue to vary by disease state and by severity of disease, as well as by geography, as some regions are more adversely impacted.
+Added: Until our return to full laboratory work, our discovery laboratories were staffed by essential personnel, and hence certain discovery programs experienced delays.
+Added: Still, we caution that the duration and severity of the continuing COVID-19 Pandemic remains uncertain and we may not yet be able to assess its consequences accurately or fully at this time.
