Background: EMERALD-1 (NCT03778957) met its primary endpoint, showing improved progression-free survival (PFS) in pts with locoregional HCC treated with D+B+TACE versus PBO+TACE (hazard ratio HR, 0.77; 95% confidence interval CI, 0.61–0.98). This analysis assessed the impact of TACE modality (conventional TACE cTACE or drug-eluting bead DEB-TACE) on efficacy and safety outcomes.
