Data are sorted in decreasing frequency for the pexa-vec plus sorafenib treatment arm.

The frequency threshold used for this table was 5% in either treatment group. All events were collected by systematic assessment.

aEither or both study treatments in the pexa-vec + sorafenib treatment group or sorafenib in the sorafenib only treatment group.
