    Abstract Purpose of review: This review presents recently published clinical trial data and ongoing investigations regarding the treatment of Richter's transformation (RT).
    Recent findings: Recently, numerous approaches have been investigated for the treatment of RT including: traditional chemoimmunotherapy regimens combined with targeted agents such as BTKi and BCL2i; immunotherapy combined with targeted agents; non-covalent BTKis; bispecific T cell engagers; and CART therapy. In addition, various novel targeted agents are currently being studied for the treatment of RT in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. Standard of care treatment with chemoimmunotherapy for RT has limited efficacy in achieving durable remissions. Here, we review recent data on the use of combination treatments and targeted agents in RT. Although some progress has been made in the investigation to optimize treatment of RT, further study is needed to evaluate long term outcomes of recently published trials and test efficacy of upcoming novel agents.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Richter's transformation (RT) occurs when chronic (CLL) transforms into an aggressive lymphoma. Despite improvements in the treatment of CLL, prognosis for RT remains poor. Here, we review current literature of RT, with a focus on novel treatment options.
    Recent findings: Efforts are underway to improve outcomes for patients with RT. While small molecule inhibitors have limited efficacy as monotherapy, recent developments combining them with chemo-immunotherapy show promise. Studies exploring the use of cellular therapies including chimeric antigen receptor T-cells and bispecific antibodies are ongoing. The current treatment paradigm for RT is to enroll these patients on a clinical trial when available, together with consultation for a consolidative allogeneic stem cell transplant. Trials investigating novel combinations and cellular therapy are ongoing. Determining predictive variables of transformation is imperative to design studies that allow for early identification and intervention for patients with RT.

    Abstract Over the past 10 years, there have been great treatment advances for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with the development of small molecule inhibitors. However, there remains an area of unmet need for patients who progress on novel therapies. The development of cellular therapies in CLL has been hindered by CLL induced immunosuppression. Fortunately, recent progress in various methods in immunomodulation may help overcome this limitation in CLL. These advances have spurred ongoing interest in the development of cellular therapies for CLL, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies, bi-specific antibodies, and use of natural killer cells. These novel treatment modalities may hold promise for patients with refractory, and potentially transformed disease. Here, we discuss the development of CAR-T cell therapy in CLL and the impact of combining CAR-T and small molecule inhibitors on treatment outcomes, the evolving role of bi-specific antibodies and natural killer cells, and comment on the use of cellular therapies for Richter's syndrome.

    Abstract Agents that specifically target pathologic mechanisms of survival have now been approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in both the treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory settings. These 4 agents include the Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib, the B-cell leukemia/lymphoma-2 inhibitor venetoclax, and the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitors idelalisib and duvelisib. Although clinical outcomes are improved with all of these inhibitors, acquired resistance does occur and leads to progression of disease. Resistance to targeted therapy can occur through direct mutations of the target or through the overexpression of alternative cell survival pathways not affected by the specific inhibitor. Determining which patients will develop resistance, why resistance occurs, how to overcome resistance, and when to test for resistance are all subjects of ongoing research. In this review, we describe the current data relative to the development of resistance to targeted therapies in CLL.

    Abstract The efficacy and safety of acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab and acalabrutinib monotherapy versus zanubrutinib in patients with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) without del(17p) were compared using an unanchored matching-adjusted indirect comparison. Individual patient-level data (IPD) from ELEVATE-TN (acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab, n = 162; acalabrutinib monotherapy, n = 163) were weighted to match published aggregate baseline data from SEQUOIA cohort 1, which excluded patients with del(17p) (zanubrutinib, n = 241), using variables that were prognostic/predictive of investigator-assessed progression-free survival (INV-PFS) in an exploratory Cox regression analysis of ELEVATE-TN. Post-matching, INV-PFS was longer with acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.23-0.74) and comparable with acalabrutinib monotherapy (HR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.53-1.56) versus zanubrutinib. Acalabrutinib monotherapy had significantly lower odds of any grade hypertension versus zanubrutinib (OR: 0.44, 95% CI: 0.20-0.99), while acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab had significantly higher odds of neutropenia (odds ratio [OR]: 2.19; 95% CI: 1.33-3.60) and arthralgia (OR: 2.33; 95% CI: 1.37-3.96) versus zanubrutinib. No other significant differences in safety were observed. In summary, compared with zanubrutinib, acalabrutinib plus obinutuzumab had longer INV-PFS with increased odds of neutropenia and arthralgia, whereas acalabrutinib monotherapy had similar INV-PFS with lower odds of any grade hypertension.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Clinicians continue to utilize prognostic biomarkers, such as expression of CD38 and ZAP-70, IGHV mutational status, cytogenetic abnormalities, and genomic aberrations in TP53, to guide prognosis and treatment of patients with CLL. These biomarkers have been validated with standard chemoimmunotherapy. Here, we discuss whether these biomarkers maintain their prognostic significance in the era of targeted therapy.
    Recent findings: Multiple phase 3 clinical trials have now proven improved efficacy of targeted therapy over traditional chemoimmunotherapy. We now have ample prospective data using targeted therapy to critically evaluate whether prior prognostic biomarkers remain relevant. High-risk features do not have the same magnitude of effect on clinical outcomes in the era of targeted therapy when compared to chemoimmunotherapy. Aberrations in TP53 continue to predict inferior outcomes. More research is needed to determine what features confer poor prognosis when targeted therapy is used to treat CLL.
