Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria 1. Confirmed diagnosis of CLL according to iwCLL criteria (Hallek et al, 2018) [13] 2. Confirmed histopathological diagnosis of RT (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or Hodgkin’s lymphoma [Hodgkin’s lym-phoma only when not eligible for more intensive treatment]) 3. Previously untreated RT or patients with objective response or non-tolerance to first-line RT treatment 4. Creatinine clearance =30ml/min calculated according to the modified formula of Cockcroft and Gault or directly meas-ured with 24hr urine collection or an eqivalent method 5. Adequate liver function as indicated by a total bilirubin= 2 x, AST/ALT = 2.5 x the institutional ULN value, unless di-rectly attributable to the patient’s CLL/RT or to Gilbert’s Syndrome, in which case a max. total bilirubin = 4 x and AST/ALT = 5 x the institutional ULN value are required. 6. Negative serological testing for hepatitis B (HBsAg nega-tive and anti-HBc negative; patients positive for anti-HBc may be included if PCR for HBV DNA is negative and HBV-DNA PCR is performed every two months until 2 months after last dose of zanubrutinib), negative testing for hepati-tis-C RNA and negative HIV test within 6 weeks prior to reg-istration 7. Age at least 18 years 8. ECOG performance status 0-2, ECOG 3 is only permitted if related to CLL or RT (e.g. due to anaemia or severe consti-tutional symptoms) 9. Life expectancy = 3 months 10.

| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combinational therapy with tislelizumab and zanubrutinib in CLL pa-tients with Richter transformation to DLBCL.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of combinational therapy with tislelizumab and zanubrutinib in CLL patients with Richter transformation to DLBCL.;Primary end point(s): Overall response rate (ORR) after induction therapy (i.e. 6 cycles) according to the refined Lugano Classification (Cheson et al, 2016). -Complete response (CR) -Partial response (PR) | — |
