====Synopsis====
 
*SARAH was a multicenter European study that also included patients without two unsuccessful rounds of TACE. Primary endpoint of improved OS was not met; Y90 was associated with higher ORR, lower DCR, fewer AE, and similar survival. Additional post-hoc analysis showed patients who received Y90 at > or equal to 100 Gy may derive a meaningful response as compared to sorafenib.
 
*SIRveNIB was a multicenter Asian study randomized newly diagnosed patients with locally advanced inoperable HCC to a single injection of Y90 or sorafenib until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint of improved OS was not met; Y90 was associated with higher ORR, few SAE, and similar OS, similar OS and DCR.

====Synopsis====
 
*Bayer 11721 was a Japanese and Korean study including patients with Child-Pugh A cirrhosis with a primary endpoint of TTP, and secondary endpoint of OS. More than 50% of patients started sorafenib after 9 weeks post TACE. 73% of patients had dose reductions, and 91% of patients had dose interruptions.
