Core Tip This study presents a comprehensive synthesis of current evidence regarding regorafenib’s clinical performance as a second-line treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Utilizing data from nine eligible studies, our meta-analysis provides an updated assessment of survival outcomes and tumor response metrics. Notably, regorafenib demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival compared to control groups, while objective tumor response rates did not show superiority, particularly when compared to immunotherapies such as nivolumab. Our results highlight regorafenib’s survival benefit and its role within a competitive therapeutic landscape.
