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.

However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
