ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04271956

What this study is testing

What is Tislelizumab?

Tislelizumab is an investigational medicine, given as a treatment applied to the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for richter transformation.

Also referred to as BGB-A317.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The aim of the CLL-RT1 trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib (BGB-3111), a BTK inhibitor plus tislelizumab (BGB-A317), a PD1 inhibitor for treatment of patients with Richter Transformation
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
