New hope for aggressive blood cancer complication

NCT ID NCT04679012

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a targeted drug called polatuzumab vedotin to standard chemotherapy works better for people with Richter's transformation, a serious complication where chronic lymphocytic leukemia turns into a more aggressive lymphoma. About 20 adults with this condition will receive the drug combination in 21-day cycles for up to six cycles. Researchers will monitor how well the treatment works and how safe it is, following participants for several years to track survival and long-term outcomes.
