aPeri-procedural TEAEs reported in at least 10 % of patients (any grade) or in at least 5 % of patients (grade 3/4 and serious TEAEs) in patients treated with melphalan/Hepatic Delivery System. TEAEs with onset from the procedure date to the earlier of discharge from hospital or day 3 were considered peri-procedural

bAnemia includes anemia, febrile bone marrow aplasia, anemia, normochromic normocytic anemia, and red blood cell count decreased

cThrombocytopenia includes thrombocytopenia and platelet count decreased

dLeukopenia includes leukopenia, lymphocyte count decreased, lymphopenia, and white blood cell count decreased
