PD was defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of viable (enhancing) target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters of target lesions recorded since treatment started. The descriptive data represents number of participants with death or progressive disease.

Time frame: From randomization up to first observation of PD or death, assessed maximum up to 1369 days

Population: ITT analysis set included all participants who had been administered at least one dose of Tepotinib (MSC2156119J).

FHSI-8 assesses hepatobiliary cancer symptoms with total score ranges from 0 to 32 (0 = the best quality of life; 32 = the worst quality of life with severe symptoms). ECOG assess participant's performance status on a scale of 0 to 5, where 0=fully active and 5=dead.
