I'll now turn the call over to Harout. Thank you, Christian, and good morning, everyone. This past quarter, we made substantial progress with our pivotal Phase 3 trial of uproleselan in combination with chemotherapy in patients with relapsed refractory acute myeloid leukemia, and we further strengthened our foundation in line with our goal to become a commercial stage company. We're particularly excited to share with you today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently cleared the addition of an interim utility analysis to our uproleselan Phase 3 study protocol. We believe this interim utility analysis to be essential given that the blinded pooled patient population in our study is living longer than expected. As part of our decision, we conducted careful analysis of the follow-up data from previous AML trials. We engaged in multiple discussions with medical experts, and we met with the FDA in order to validate our plans. As a reminder, we completed enrollment of our pivotal trial one year ago this same week. As we announced in our second quarter earnings call, the Phase 3 population is broadly similar to that of our completed Phase 1, Phase 2 study with respect to age, severity of AML, prior stem cell transplantation rates, and distribution of relapse and refractory patients, which taken together gives us confidence that we recruited the appropriate patient population. The Phase 3 Istudy's slower accumulation of blinded pools through survival events prompts us to extend the overall survival event trigger projection for final analysis from mid-year 2023 to around year-end 2023. Simultaneously, we see an ethical need for this interim analysis to address the possibility that this slowdown in patient events may relate to benefit from uproleselan study therapy. As part of the interim analysis, the study's independent Data Monitoring Committee or DMC is expected to meet by the end of Q1 2023. They will consider whether to continue to the original 100% overall survival events trigger, or if the efficacy data for treatment with uproleselan in combination with standard chemotherapy is observed to be compelling, they'll recommend immediate unblinding and trial analysis completion. We owe it to AML patients to assess the drivers for slower accumulation of blinded pooled survival events in this disease, which remains one with high unmet need and limited treatment options. Importantly, this interim analysis preserves 95% of the original design's alpha and enables us to maintain the study blind if the independent DMC recommends continuation to final analysis. Regardless of whether the DMC's recommendation enables us to expedite registrational filings or we continue the study as originally planned, we are excited by uproleselan's potential to improve outcomes in relapsed refractory AML and help patients achieve deeper, more durable remissions that bridge them to potential curative stem cell transplantation and improve overall survival. From a commercialization standpoint, we continue to focus on three key areas. First, to drive awareness and educate medical experts on E-selectin biology in AML and uproleselan's unique and differentiated mechanism of action. Second, to drive awareness of uproleselan's clinical development program. Third, to expand our partnership with global medical community. Bruce Johnson, our Chief Commercial Officer, will be available for Q&A to discuss these ongoing efforts, which we expect to position us well as we approach key Phase 3 milestones. Overall, the third quarter marked a period of significant progress and steady execution for GlycoMimetics. We have the team in place to advance uproleselan and deliver the therapy to patients who need it. I'm pleased to be joined on this call by Dr. Edwin Rock, who we welcomed to GlycoMimetics just a few short months ago as our Chief Medical Officer. He will provide additional context on our Phase 3, how it compares with other historical large randomized AML trials, and how this comparison reinforces our confidence in uproleselan's potential to address significant unmet need for more effective AML therapies. Ed will also share updates on investigator-sponsored uproleselan trials. Two posters will be presented at the upcoming American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting that will present the first clinical data presentations for this therapy outside of company-sponsored trials. These posters provide support for our belief in the potential broad utility of uproleselan across the AML spectrum, from treatment naive to notoriously unresponsive treated secondary disease. Ed, I'll pass it on to you to share more details. Thanks, Harout, and thanks to everyone for joining our call today. Let me begin with how uproleselan could fit into the AML treatment landscape. As a reminder, AML is the second most common type of leukemia and the highest cause of death among all patients with leukemia. About 55,000 people in the U.S. are now living with AML, and more than 20,000 adults are diagnosed annually. People with AML suffer dismal outcomes. After frontline therapy, about 70% of newly diagnosed patients relapse within three years. Five-year survival languishes at 29%. Despite introduction in the last five years of several new therapies, high unmet medical need persists, given AML's heterogeneity and drug resistance. Uproleselan is our investigational first-in-class E-selectin antagonist. E-selectin mediates myeloid cell attachment to blood vessels, regulates their survival, and thus contributes to chemotherapy resistance. Uproleselan blocks cancer cells from binding to E-selectin on blood vessels and thus interrupts the pro-survival signal conferred by E-selectin binding. We believe that by targeting this novel carbohydrate recognition mechanism, uproleselan will disrupt leukemic cell drug resistance and potentially improve outcomes for patients with this devastating disease. As Harout explained, in our pivotal Phase 3 study of uproleselan in relapsed and refractory AML, blinded pooled survival events show that people in this trial are living longer than would be expected based on historical benchmarks. As such, we approached FDA in late summer about adding an interim analysis to assess whether this slow survival event accumulation relates to uproleselan study treatment and uproleselan benefit. The FDA cleared our plan at a meeting earlier this fall. Interim analysis will occur once about 80% of original planned events are observed. The study's independent data monitoring committee is expected to meet by the end of Q1 2023 to consider whether to continue to the original 100% OS events trigger or alternatively to recommend immediate and complete trial analysis if efficacy data from study treatment with uproleselan plus standard chemotherapy is observed to be compelling. Recent overall survival benchmarks in relapsed and refractory AML are between five and seven months. The target survival hazard ratio in our Phase 3 study is 0.68. That represents a 32% reduction in risk of death at any point in time. Regulators, patients, and clinicians have agreed that this level of survival prolongation is significant and clinically meaningful. In contrast to recent trials in relapsed and refractory AML that failed to show improved survival over cytarabine alone, two recent AML trials that did meet their primary survival endpoints had notably higher median follow-up duration at the time of analysis. Astellas' Phase 3 ADMIRAL trial showed Gilteritinib superiority over salvage chemotherapy in FLT3-positive relapsed and refractory AML at 18 months of median follow-up. Jazz's Phase 3 study showed CPX351 superiority over 7+3 chemotherapy in secondary AML at 21 months of median follow-up. Median follow-up in our uproleselan study was 19.5 months as of September 2022. Based on the time course of events to date, another 15 months is now projected for accumulation of sufficient survival events to trigger the original protocol specified analysis. Should the events trigger extend to around year-end 2023, that would mean median follow-up duration at time of analysis of more than 30 months. More than 30 months. That number is unprecedented for follow-up duration in a trial of novel relapsed and refractory AML therapy. If interim analysis demonstrates compelling evidence of benefit from addition of uproleselan to AML therapy, then we want to recognize that benefit as soon as possible in order to accelerate product availability to all eligible patients with relapsed and refractory AML. Alternatively, if the DMC recommends we continue the study through the full survival events trigger expected around the end of 2023, we remain confident that events reflected in the original study design may still illustrate substantial patient benefit of uproleselan study therapy. Interim analysis will spend less than 5% of total alpha allocated to the primary endpoint. That translates to a final analysis p-value of 0.048 instead of the original two-sided 0.045. Alpha spend within interim analysis is intentionally conservative in order to ensure that any conclusion of benefit would be based on compelling evidence of benefit. If this high stringency threshold for declaring a positive trial is not met at interim analysis, then about 95% of alpha remains for the final survival analysis described in the original protocol, roughly the same as the original planned final analysis. Whether the DMC's recommendation enables us to expedite registrational filings, or we continue the study as planned through the full survival event trigger, we remain excited by uproleselan's potential to improve outcomes in relapsed and refractory AML. Separately, we're pleased that results from two investigator-sponsored trials of uproleselan will be presented at the upcoming ASH annual meeting. These trials are exploring uproleselan's potential to benefit patients with AML beyond those with relapsed refractory disease alone. Dr. Brian Jonas of the University of California, Davis, will present preliminary results from his Phase 1 study that indicates a tolerable safety profile of uproleselan with Azacitidine and venetoclax in people with untreated AML who are unfit for intensive chemotherapy. In addition to encouraging safety, this combination also shows encouraging evidence of disease activity, including an overall 50% rate of MRD negativity in eight evaluable patients, as well as 67% MRD negativity among the responders with complete responses or CRis. Additionally, Dr. Emmanuel Almanza- Huante will present preliminary results from the first 10 patients of a Phase 1b/2 trial showing that uproleselan with cladribine plus low-dose cytarabine was similarly well-tolerated. This combination produced an overall response rate of 62% in a very high-risk population of treated secondary AML patients having expected median survival of less than 5 months. We're grateful to the clinician scientists running these ISTs for their dedication to exploring potential benefits of uproleselan in patient populations with high unmet need. Also, we appreciate and thank the patients that have consented to testing investigational uproleselan. These presentations are the first clinical uproleselan data generated outside of company-sponsored trials in relapsed, refractory, and frontline fit patients. Despite limited numbers, these data provide support for our belief in the potential broad utility of uproleselan across AML disease indications. These data demonstrate combinability with other available therapies, as well as evidence of a favorable safety profile without dose-limiting toxicities. We look forward to sharing more about these studies at ASH in December. Beyond the studies described, uproleselan is also being evaluated by the National Cancer Institute, or NCI, in an independent randomized open label trial in frontline newly diagnosed AML patients who are 60 years and older. This clinical study is evaluating whether addition of uproleselan to a standard 7+3 regimen in older adults leads to improved outcomes. The Phase 2 portion of this Phase 2/3 trial completed enrollment of 260 patients in November 2021, one year ago. Per the protocol, NCI has suspended further enrollment in anticipation of its planned interim analysis of event-free survival. When available, we intend to share the outcome of the NCI's Phase 2 interim analysis and whether the trial will reopen for Phase 3. This NCI trial gives us another opportunity to confirm uproleselan benefit and potentially to expand our label to include frontline AML. Importantly, the outcome of NCI's Phase 2 analysis is independent from that of our pivotal Phase 3 study in relapsed refractory AML, and thus provides an additional near-term opportunity for uproleselan beyond that in relapsed and refractory AML. Now I'll hand it over to Brian for an overview of financial results. Thank you, Ed. As of September 30th, 2022, GlycoMimetics had cash and cash equivalents of $51.6 million, as compared to $90.2 million as of December 31st, 2021. Q3 cash burn slowed to $8.6 million, as compared to $30.1 million over the first two quarters of 2022. We expect our current cash resources will fund our operations to the end of 2023 as a result of the decrease in expenses driven by the transition of the Phase 3 relapsed refractory AML clinical trial to follow up, completion of key uproleselan commercial manufacturing activities, and realization of savings from the headcount reduction in the first quarter of 2022. Allocation of resources will continue to prioritize the advancement of the uproleselan development program, including key regulatory and pre-commercial activities. The company's research and development expenses decreased to $4.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $13.3 million for the same period in 2021. Decreased expenses were primarily due to lower global Phase 3 clinical trial and development costs as patients' enrollment ended in November 2021. The company's general administrative expenses decreased to $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower professional fees. I'd now like to turn the call back to Harout. Thank you, Brian. As today's updates demonstrate, this is a very exciting time for us at GlycoMimetics. Given longer blinded pooled survival than expected in our Phase 3 study, we look forward to conducting this analysis, this interim analysis. Regardless of whether the interim analysis demonstrates that the data is compelling enough to expedite registrational filings, or we continue the study as planned through the final overall survival events trigger, we're confident and excited about the potential for uproleselan to improve outcomes in the relapsed refractory AML and remain committed to bringing this product to market as quickly as possible. We're proud of our sustained clinical progress, not just in this pivotal Phase 3 study of uproleselan in relapsed refractory AML, but also in the ISTs that Ed just described. Though these are preliminary results from a limited number of patients, they continue to illuminate uproleselan's encouraging potential in additional important AML patient populations. In parallel with these clinical activities, our experienced commercial team, led by Bruce, continues to prepare our organization to successfully deliver uproleselan to patients if approved. These exciting advancements position us well to continue working toward our goal of improving the lives of patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases, and we look forward to sharing updates with you on future calls. I'd now like to open the lines for questions. Operator? Thank you. At this time, we will conduct a question and answer session. As a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Ed White at H.C. Wainwright. Ed, your line's open. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Regarding the potential IDMC meeting and determination in the first quarter of 2023, perhaps you can just discuss potential regulatory time and development timelines following that data if it is positive? Yes. Good morning, Ed. Good to hear your voice. So you know, as we said, we anticipate the independent data monitoring committee to meet by end quarter one to really discuss one of two possibilities with this utility interim analysis. We either continue the trial as planned to the 100% events, which currently we anticipate, we moved that date from midyear 2023 to around year- end 2023. Or if there's compelling efficacy seen by the IDMC, then they will recommend to the company the stopping of the trial and the immediate unblinding of the trial. To your question, Ed, what happens then? Obviously, we're very committed if whenever that data happens, be it at the interim analysis or by the year end, remember, we have Fast Track, Orphan Drug Designation, and we're already discussing with the FDA, as you've seen, as part of our interim analysis. We wanna make sure that we're, you know, as part of that, you know, Fast Track and of course, the Breakthrough Therapy Designation, we rapidly move forward with our regulatory pathway. Our regulatory team is really ready and waiting for that moment to happen, Ed. Stay tuned. Okay, thanks. You did a good job discussing the potential opportunity in the U.S. How should we be thinking of potential opportunities outside the U.S.? Yeah, of course. I mean, we're first focusing on the U.S. and, you know, given it's the largest market with the largest opportunity and the first one, obviously. At the same time, Ed, as a reminder for everyone, our trial is well balanced in its enrollment between the U.S. and ex-U.S.. We have, you know, significant presence as well in terms of patient enrollment and medical activities, ex-U.S. as well. The plan would be the moment we're moving forward in the U.S., then we will focus on ex-U.S.. Maybe, Bruce, do you wanna add a couple of maybe thoughts or color for Ed of some of the activities ex-U.S.? Yeah. Thank you, Ed. I mean, we're continuing to engage medical experts around the globe. We're getting very encouraging feedback on their reception of the data thus far in our current development program. As Harout mentioned, we do have ongoing discussions with regulatory authorities in Europe, and fully plan to pursue registration in a variety of major markets around the globe. I would say also with that, we are keeping all options on the table, certainly as well as, you know, certainly potential partnerships, et cetera. You know, we're exploring all options as we look at the opportunity for uproleselan. Thanks. Perhaps the last question, if I may. Just regarding the ISTs, how should we be thinking about the potential there for the company to follow suit and look at these potential indications? Will you be waiting till well after potential approval, or is this something that you're looking at now and perhaps we could see something in 2023? Yeah. You know, basically what we're doing, Ed, as a reminder for everyone, we're pursuing. We believe that uproleselan has a role to play across all populations in AML, from the, you know, treatment-naïve to the really difficult to treat secondary AML. The plan is to really make sure that from a regulatory pathway, we pursue our pivotal trial in relapsed refractory AML. That's really our big anchor. An additional parallel to that is the NCI trial in the frontline setting. These are both registrational grade trials that are moving and advancing and maturing. The data is maturing as we speak. Then you have these additional ISTs that really supplement the understanding of the role of uproleselan across different AML subpopulations. Remember, these are populations that are all, I would say, have a high unmet medical need at different levels, and there is an opportunity to pursue the addition of uproleselan to other standard therapies because we believe with the low toxicity profile of uproleselan, and if it's able to generate additive efficacy, then it has the potential to really be adopted across all AML populations. The whole idea is first, we pursue our pivotal trials. Obviously, we wanna make sure we get to market. Then as the data is emerging, there is a significant opportunity to really advance the clinical development program with uproleselan beyond what will possibly the first indication of relapsed refractory. Great. Well, thank you for taking. Does that help, Ed? It does. Thank you very much. Thank you. At this time, I would like to remind anyone, if you would like to ask a question, please press star one one on your phone. All right. As there are no more questions, I'd like to hand the call back to Mr. Semerjian. Thank you, operator. Thank you to everyone for joining our call today. We will also be presenting at several upcoming investor conferences, including Stifel and Jefferies in London this month. We look forward to speaking with many of you then. Thank you very much. Back to you, operator. That concludes today's call. You may now disconnect. Thank you.
