Background & Aims: The fragility index (FI), i.e., theminimum number of best survivors reassigned to the control group required to revert the statistically significant result of a clinical trial to non-significant, is a metric to evaluate the robustness of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We aimed to assess the FI in the field of HCC. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of phase 2 and 3 RCTs for the treatment of HCC published between 2002 and 2022. We included two-arm studies with 1:1 randomization and significant positive results for a primary time-to-event endpoint for the FI calculation, which involves the iterative addition of a best survivor from the experimental group to the control group, until positive significance (p
