Abstract
7505 Background: Novel agents (NA) targeting B cell receptor kinases and Bcl-2 have substantially improved outcomes in CLL; however, the development of RS in CLL patients (pts) on NAs has been observed, and has not been systematically evaluated. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed pts at 9 academic centers diagnosed with pathologically-confirmed RS from 2011-16. Informed consent was provided through IRB-approved protocols. Descriptive statistics were utilized and overall survival (OS) was calculated from RS diagnosis (dx) to death or last follow-up by Kaplan-Meier.
