Number of subjects enrolled, randomized and exposed to at least one dose (safety population): 50. Number of subjects who had undergone surgery, whose type of surgery (Greenlight(TM) laser-ablation) had not changed, energy consumption during surgery reported and who had taken the second dose on the day of surgery (intent-to-treat population): 44

Reporting Groups
