We will be reimbursed for the costs incurred in connection with the elacestrant project pursuant to the terms of the TSA with Berlin-Chemie, under which the Company will perform certain services for Berlin-Chemie related to the EMERALD Phase 3 monotherapy study until the earlier of the completion of the contemplated services or the filing with the FDA of a NDA for elacestrant.

This decrease was primarily the result of a $0.8 million decrease in travel and entertainment expenses, a $2.3 million decrease in professional support costs, a $0.5 million decrease in compensation cost, and a $0.1 million decrease in other operating costs. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in occupancy and depreciation costs.
