Biopsy procedure-related events were defined as systemic responses to the biopsy procedure or injury at the biopsy site. Since biopsy occurred prior to AMDC treatment, results are presented independent of AMDC dose received. All biopsy procedure-related events either self-resolved or were easily treated. |

Outcome results
Biopsy Procedure-related Adverse Events
Biopsy was required to generate AMDC products. Biopsy procedure-related events were defined as systemic responses to the biopsy procedure or injury at the biopsy site. Since biopsy occurred prior to AMDC treatment, results are presented independent of AMDC dose received. All biopsy procedure-related events either self-resolved or were easily treated.
Time frame: at biopsy or between biopsy and treatment

|---|---|---|---|
| Patients With Biopsy | Biopsy Procedure-related Adverse Events | Wound hematoma | 2 Number of events |
| Patients With Biopsy | Biopsy Procedure-related Adverse Events | Post procedural hemorrhage | 1 Number of events |
| Patients With Biopsy | Biopsy Procedure-related Adverse Events | Joint swelling | 1 Number of events |

Injection Procedure-related Adverse Events
AMDC treatment was administered via intrasphincteric injection. Injection procedure-related events were defined as systemic responses to the injection procedure or genitourinary events occurring within 30 days of the injection procedure that could be attributed to cystoscopy or catheterization. Since these events could be attributed to the injection procedure, results are considered independent of AMDC dose received.
