Summary
This study looks at blood, lymph node, and bone marrow samples from 5 people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Richter syndrome who are receiving the drug epcoritamab. Researchers want to understand how the drug changes immune cells and tumor cells over time. The goal is to learn more about how this type of immunotherapy works, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
