A clinical trial of nivolumab combined with ibrutinib was explored in patients with CLL and Richter’s transformation. However, results showed that all of the clinical activity observed with nivolumab was in patients who had Richter’s transformation, but not CLL. The activity observed is what would have been expected ibrutinib to have in patients with CLL.
