Treatments studied

Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.

This Phase 2 trial tests whether a combination of zanubrutinib (an oral medicine) and CAR-T cell therapy can treat Richter syndrome, a type of lymphoma that develops in people with CLL/SLL. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes after the disease comes back or doesn’t respond to prior treatment.

Zanubrutinib and odronextamab for Richter's transformation

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs for people with Richter's transformation, an aggressive lymphoma that can develop from CLL. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease.

Adding pirtobrutinib to usual treatment for newly diagnosed Richter transformation

This study tests whether adding a targeted drug called pirtobrutinib to the usual chemotherapy for Richter transformation can improve outcomes. It is a phase 3 trial, meaning it compares the new combination to the standard approach, and may help patients live longer or delay progression.

Study drugs for Richter transformation in CLL

This Phase 2 study tests zanubrutinib plus tislelizumab, with or without sonrotoclax, for people whose CLL has changed into Richter transformation (an aggressive lymphoma). It aims to improve anti-cancer response while tracking side effects and safety.

Study of zanubrutinib and tislelizumab for lymphoma after CAR-T

This trial tests two new drugs (zanubrutinib and tislelizumab) for people with large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded after CAR-T therapy. The goal is to see if these drugs can help when CAR-T hasn't worked.

Combination drug treatment for Richter syndrome after CLL

This trial tests a combination of four drugs for people whose chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has transformed into a more aggressive lymphoma called Richter syndrome. The goal is to see if this combination can control the cancer and improve outcomes.

Study of two drugs for Richter transformation lymphoma

This study tests a combination of two oral drugs (nemtabrutinib and pembrolizumab) for people with Richter transformation, an aggressive lymphoma that develops from chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It may be an option if standard chemotherapy is not suitable or if prior treatment has stopped working.
