Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Richter's transformation confirmed by biopsy. 2. History of other malignancy that could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results o Patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or Stage 1 melanoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix are eligible. o Patients with a malignancy that has been treated with surgery alone with curative intent will be included. Individuals in documented remission without treatment for = 2 years prior to enrollment may be included at the discretion of the investigator. 3. Uncontrolled active systemic infection (viral, bacterial, and fungal). 4. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test from respiratory tract specimen (e.g. nasopharyngeal swab). 5. Known positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), due to potential drug-drug interactions between anti-retroviral medications and the study drugs. 6. Active hepatitis C, defined by the detectable hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) in plasma by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 7. Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding. 8. Malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration. 9. An individual organ/system impairment score of 4 as assessed by the CIRS definition limiting the ability to receive the treatment regimen of this trial with the exception of eyes, ears, nose, throat organ system (note that symptoms related to CLL should not be included in the patient’s screening CIRS score). Investigators should consult the General Rules for Severity Rating as well as the Organ-Specific Categories when assigning scores for certain conditions (i.e., pulmonary embolism) and consider the level of morbidity associated with a patient’s condition. 10. Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and/or would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment into this study. 11. Patients who have received strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors and/or CYP3A inducers within 7 days prior to the first dose of venetoclax, patients who consumed grapefruit, grapefruit products, Seville oranges (including marmalade containing Seville oranges), or star fruit within 3 days prior to the first dose of venetoclax. 12. Patients require use of warfarin (due to potential drug-drug interactions that may potentially increase the exposure of warfarin). Patients may be eligible if able to be taken off warfarin and started on an alternative anticoagulant. 13. Patients with evidence any of the following conditions: o New York Heart Association Functional Classification III or IV congestive heart failure o History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or acute coronary syndrome within 6 months prior to registration o Recent infection requiring systemic treatment; need to have completed anti-biotic therapy > 14 days before the first dose of study drug o Cerebral vascular accident or intracranial bleed within the last 6 months o Known active chronic hepatitis C Positive serology for hepatitis B defined as a positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); in addition, if negative for HBsAg but hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive (regardless of hepatitis B surface an
