Please note, as numbers have been rounded to one decimal place, some columns may not total 100%.

AFP alpha-fetoprotein, ECOG PS Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, HBV hepatitis B virus, HCC hepatocellular carcinoma, HCV Hepatitis C virus, IHC immunohistochemistry.

aOther investigator-assessed root causes of HCC were: metabolic cirrhosis (n = 1), adenomatous hyperplasia (n = 1), hemochromatosis (n = 1), regenerative nodular hyperplasia (n = 1), previous drug abuse (n = 1); cirrhosis (n = 1); both alcohol-induced cirrhosis and HCV (n = 1) and idiopathic/unknown/none/not assessable (n = 9).

bIn Phase 1b, patients were not required to have MET overexpression.

cMET amplification is defined as MET:CEP7 ratio ≥2 or mean gene copy number ≥5.
