Richter’s Syndrome (RS) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Richter's syndrome (RS) is a highly aggressive transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), often into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Its prognosis is grim, with only about a 20% complete remission rate and less than 20% long-term survival with chemoimmunotherapy (CIT). RS is biologically diverse, typically arising in patients with CLL, and certain high-risk genomic factors, such as unmutated IGHV status, NOTCH1 mutations, TP53 issues, and del11q, increase the risk of this transformation. Symptoms of Richter's Syndrome mainly involve sudden and painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, axilla, abdomen (usually the spleen), and groin. Patients often experience rapid unexplained weight loss, fever, and night sweats, collectively known as 'B-symptoms.' The standard first-line treatment is immuno-chemotherapy, combining chemodrugs with a targeted anti-CD 20 monoclonal antibody. Second-line chemotherapy regimens like R-ICE, D-HAC, R-DHAP, and GIVE may b...
