HHC, hepatocellular carcinoma.

SAEs were coded using Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA), version 22.0.

The total number of SAEs counted all SAEs for patients. At each level of patient summarization, a patient was counted once for the most severe event if the patient reported 1 or more events. “n” represents the number of patients at each level of summarization.

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